Arvada Sunrise Rotary celebrated its 30^th anniversary in 2021.  ASR as an organization, as well as its individual members have supported the Arvada community for three decades.  Although the pandemic dramatically changed what ASR was able to do, we continued our focus on service to the community, locally and internationally.  This is consistent with this year’s Rotary theme “Serve to Change Lives”. 

 

Rotary is about service!  Arvada Sunrise Rotarians are always anxious to meet and welcome others who share this attitude of service to others.  Please feel free to join us at Thrive Workplace, 5610 Ward Road #300 in Arvada on the second or fourth Tuesday at 7:10 am. 

 

Feel free to reach out to me if you have questions or just wish to chat about Rotary.

ASR learned that thousands of vulnerable people in Uganda suffer from a crippling parasite called jiggers.  They suffer because they don't own even one pair of shoes.  ASR started collecting over 75 pairs of jeans.   In collaboration with the non-profit Sole Hope, we planned to host a 'Shoe Party' but due to Co-vid, we all got busy tracing and cutting patterns in our own homes.  What an amazing way to benefit the world while being quarantined. Thanks to our District 5450 matching Grant, ASR provided 190 pairs of shoes.  As the winter rolls around, we still find eager Rotarians ready to keep cutting denim.   ~ over 300 pairs of shoes to date.
