What a great day serving Ms. E in Bessemer with the Vestavia Hills Sunrise Rotary Club and Hearts In Hands.

Her steps were falling apart, and with her back and knee problems, every trip in and out of the house felt risky. Now she has brand-new front steps, low-rise steps in the back, and security doors on both entrances.

Simple changes, but a big difference in her daily life. We’re grateful to show up with helping hands and caring hearts!

Special thanks to Lori Moler, Alan Stevens, Will Connor, and Charley Long for representing the Vestavia Hills Sunrise Rotary Club.

The Vestavia Hills Sunrise Rotary Club joined with Hearts In Hands to build a ramp and concrete pad for Ms. V who has Parkinson’s and must use a wheelchair. Club members, Lori Moler, Will Connor, Alan Stevens, Mike Fliegel, and Jason Sparks, worked alongside the Hearts in Hands volunteers. We also got lots of help and energy from the nine year old son of Jason Sparks. He was a real trooper.

Vestavia Recycling and Community Night Out …

10/19/2025

The motto of Vestavia Hills Sunrise Rotary Club is Service above Self! This fall, this motto was evident when Rotary Club members volunteered at the Vestavia Recycling Day. The members served as information and traffic control to help Vestavia residents quickly drop off their paper and electronic items and to find the way to any other drop-off points.

Community Night Out provided another opportunity for members to serve the Vestavia community. The grill was ignited early that day by club president, Stephen Castleberry, as he grilled ribs for the First Responders and Boston Butts to make BBQ sandwiches to serve during the celebration. In addition, he brought a large grill for fellow members to grill 600 Hot Dogs to serve with the 275 pulled-pork sandwiches. More than half of the club members helped with the grilling, the wrapping of hot dogs, the wrapping of BBQ sandwiches, and the serving of everything.

The Vestavia Hills Sunrise Rotary Club members welcomed Dr. Charles Mason to its meeting on Thursday. He presented and led a discussion on techniques of the development of leadership skills. His focus was on "Leading Questions - Becoming a Better Leader Through the Skillful Use of Questions". He shared with members copies of his book with the same title. He encouraged members to consider using the opportunity to learn more about a potential candidate through in-depth questions. Members were appreciative of his contribution.

In addition to Dr. Mason, the club members inducted our newest member, Shane Alexander. We are looking forward to building the new relationship and learning about his role in the greater Birmingham metro area.
