South Yuba County Sunrise Rotary Club

We meet every Thursday at 7am at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Wheatland. Join us!

Based on the Object of Rotary, the Avenues of Service are Rotary’s philosophical cornerstone and the foundation on which club activity is based:

Club Service focuses on strengthening fellowship and ensuring the effective functioning of the club. Vocational Service encourages Rotarians to serve others through their vocations and to practice high ethical standards. Community Service covers the pro

jects and activities the club undertakes to improve life in its community. International Service encompasses actions taken to expand Rotary’s humanitarian reach around the globe and to promote world understanding and peace. New Generations Service recognizes the positive change implemented by youth and young adults through leadership development activities, service projects, and exchange programs.

💙🏥 Thank You to our November 20 Speaker – Patience Boudreaux, Adventist Health Foundation!

We had the pleasure of hearing from Patience Boudreaux who shared powerful updates on the innovative advancements shaping healthcare right here in Yuba County. She walked us through several major investments making a real difference for local families, including:

🤖 New robotics-assisted surgical tools that are improving precision, reducing recovery time, and elevating the patient experience.

🧠 Advanced stroke technology powered by AI, enabling faster diagnosis and life-saving interventions — because in a stroke emergency, every second truly counts.

💗 Expanded women’s imaging and biopsy services, offering earlier detection and more accurate diagnostics to support the long-term health of women in our region.

🎓 Scholarships for Yuba County students pursuing healthcare careers — helping grow a strong, local workforce that will care for our community for years to come.

We’re especially proud to highlight our deepening partnership with Adventist Health — they are our 2025 Title Sponsor of our Annual Plumas Lake Block Party, helping us bring thousands of families together each year for connection, health education, and community fun. Their support strengthens our ability to serve — and reflects their commitment to the well-being of Yuba County residents beyond the hospital walls.

Thank you, Patience, for an inspiring and informative presentation — and for all the ways Adventist Health Foundation continues to elevate care and opportunity for Yuba County families. 💙💛

🏈💙 Celebrating Our Local Flag Football Champions! 💛🏆

What an exciting day out on the field on November 16!

South Yuba County Sunrise Rotary was proud to sponsor Hegemony HOPE Foundation’s season of flag football.

Rotarian Michael Williamson has poured incredible work into our local flag football program — which continues to grow and make a huge impact in our community. 🙌

📸 The first photo captures President Sonya Harris, amazing volunteers, and a very special plate of championship rings!

📸 The second shows Sonya, Michael, and one of this season’s Super Bowl–winning teams. We had the honor of presenting rings to as a program sponsor. These kids worked hard all season and earned every bit of that celebration!

📸 And the final photo features all three championship teams, standing proud after a season of teamwork, hustle, and heart.

Hegemony Sports is doing incredible work for local youth — keeping kids active, healthy, engaged, and connected. Programs like this build confidence, teach leadership, and strengthen our sense of community.

Rotary is grateful to support partners who help our young people grow on and off the field. 💙💛

Congratulations to all the players, coaches, and families on an amazing season! 🏆🎉
