On Saturday, May 9, Naperville Sunrise Rotarians gathered at for our annual Clean Sweep at St. Patrick's Residence in Naperville. Volunteers spent the morning pulling weeds, pruning, edging beds, spreading mulch, and helping refresh the grounds for the season ahead.

It was a great morning of teamwork, service, and community—and a reminder that many hands really do make light work.

Thank you to everyone who brought tools, energy, and a willingness to pitch in. Extra thanks to those who invited friends and family to join us!

Over the past several years, Zac Larson has spoken with many people about his bike riding. During that time, many people have said to him, “Oh, I could never do that.” With this returning fundraising event, Solstice Century, Zac is giving 100 riders the chance to experience the challenge and exhilaration of participating in a 100 mile bike ride on June 19th, the summer solstice… and we’re doing it for our neighbors in need. Our goal is to raise $100,000 for local charitable organizations in mental health, food, housing and youth services.
