Steve Clasen was awarded the Club Rock award for our 2026/2027 year. He actively participates in our club meetings, service projects, and Board meetings. He handles the finances for our Foundation and disburses funds to local, District, and International projects. No question that Steve has been a “Rock” to our club that we have depended on for many years. Thank you, Steve, for your faithfulness, consistency, and can-do attitude.

A special award was handed out Thursday evening. Dave Lewis won the Rotarian of the Year award. This is a new award that Mark started with hope it will be continued in the future. Our annual Rotarian of the Year award is in Dave’s honor. The award is entitled “The David R Lewis Rotarian of the Year Award for Scottsdale Sunrise Rotary Club”. It seemed appropriate for Dave to receive the first award started in his name. Dave has been a member of this club for close to 40 years. He has excellent attendance, a key member of our Board, and brings lightness and joy to all of our events. He is active in our District and leads our Club’s international services. Thank you, David, for being a great Rotarian and our Club’s Stateman! You are valued and appreciated!

We had a festive evening last Thursday celebrating our Club Year and welcoming our new Club Board. Our Year End Banquet was well attended. The Mini Social venue in Old Town Scottsdale was a fun setting. Kudo’s to Jan & Dale Gray for their banquet planning; the room was beautifully decorated. Thanks to those who came early to help with room setup. The food, catered by The Original Chop House, did not disappoint. Our current President, Mark, gave an overview of our activities and accomplishments for the year and named our club theme as “Balanced Impact”.

We learned a lot last Thursday from Ceci Hartke, the Individual Development Director with The Foster Alliance. Ceci shared the many ways her organization lifts up the Foster Community. They start by showing up the first day a child arrives at a foster home. Their purpose fits well with ours as both organizations strive to help children and youth in our communities.

We had a good turnout and club meeting on Thursday. Rami Sibai, Founder & Director of Project Umbrella was our guest speaker. What an impressive young man. Rami is only 24 years old but has founded a non-profit organization to help the unhoused in Phoenix, Seattle, New York City and Austin, Texas. He does this major volunteer work on the side as he is an employee of HonorHealth. To learn more about Rami’s vision and organization, visit www.projectumbrella.org, and on Facebook at ProjectUmbrellaOrg.
