Recently, our Club was recognized by myFM as their Community Partner for the month of June. They've generously provided continuing airtime for us to get a short promotional message out to Norfolk listeners for the entire month of June.

A part of the Community Partner recognition is that Domino's Norfolk is the myFM sponsor, helping the radio station to showcase awesome local non-profit groups. To lend a hand even further, Domino's Norfolk (ie their stores in Simcoe and Delhi) is offering a special to their customers during the last week of June. With each purchase of  2 x Medium 3-Topping Pizza’s and a Cheesy Bread (for just $25.00 + HST),  $5 from each order will go to the Rotary Club of Norfolk Sunrise - it's a great deal for everyone; just use the coupon code MYFM.

The fifth approved licencing of our ever-popular community fundraiser concluded on Friday 21 January 2022 - what an adventure that series of draws proved to be - congratulations to all winners but in particular to John Lloy our $15K Grand Prize Winner!

As a result of the continuing interest in this draw, the Rotary Club of Norfolk Sunrise, with the support of the Port Dover Legion Branch 158, has secured a sixth AGCO/County license and intends to recommence the game on Friday 03 June 2022 - stay tuned for additional details.

See our Fundraiser Tab at the top of this website home page to see the details concerning this very popular game of chance.

Following a very successful venture in 2020 (right in the middle of the pandemic!), we decided it was important to try collecting hygiene products for those in need, once again. Our aim was to partner with community vendors (incl two employers) to collect feminine hygiene products for distribution to our local Norfolk County food banks (five of them), the woman’s shelter, St Vincent de Paul and the Salvation Army.

After securing the support of eleven retail outlets/collection points in four of our Norfolk communities, we were able to bring the total collection together and produce 3-5 boxes of product for each recipient location. 
Between 15-20 volunteers participated in this very worthy service project with representation from each of the three local Rotary Clubs.  With Area Co-ordinator Bob Stevenson's oversight, Joanne Kiefer and Mary Mercato (both from RCNS) organized and ensured that the event would be as successful as possible. They would like to thank all those who participated and helped out in any way to bring this project to fruition. 
Menstrual health supports girls/young women’s mental and social well being. Plan International Canada reported in 2019 that 34% of women/ girls had to occasionally or often make budgetary sacrifices to afford menstrual products and that 63% missed an activity regularly or occasionally because they were menstruating and had concern for access to product or proper sanitation facilities. 

We would like to think that we made a modest difference in the face of this very difficult community issue.
