On Tuesday, May 8, 2018, we heard from Jayme Klehfoth, shown above with Sunrise Rotary member, Greg Duncan, about the upcoming Walk for Alzheimer's fundraiser on Saturday, September 8, 2018.  Alzheimer's is the 6th leading cause of death in the U.S. and currently cannot be prevented, cured or slowed.  The upcoming walk supports the Alzheimer's Association, which is is a global organization, working to advance care, support and research across the world to treat this awful disease. From face-to-face support to online education programs and promising worldwide research initiatives, the money raised makes a difference in the lives of those facing Alzheimer's.  Volunteers are encouraged to walk in support of the fundraising and/or support other walkers by sponsorship.

Incoming District Governor, Rick Moore, passes on the District Governor Elect Banner and Pin to incoming DGE, Sandy Wong at the District Conference held in Butte on April 27 and 28, 2018.  Immediate Past District Governor, Joe McBride, is shown to Sandy's right.  Congratulations Sandy!  AND, Congratulations Rick!  We look forward to another great year in Rotary under your leadership!

Our speaker on April 10, 2018 was Keri Yoder with the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network.  ACSCAN works to end suffering and death from cancer in every state and over 100 communities across the country. From state legislatures to local city councils and county commissions, ACSCAN is working to pass laws and regulations that move us closer to the day when no one has to hear those three scary words, "You have cancer."
