In the spring of 1996, a new Rotary Club, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Simcoe, appeared on the Norfolk scene. The aim was to expand opportunities for Norfolk residents wanting to serve locally & internationally by participating in Rotary programs and activities. On May 16, 1996 the Rotary Club of Norfolk Sunrise (RCNS) received its Charter from Rotary International (RI) and began its own record of "Service above Self”. Go to the ‘Read more …’ tab to see our Charter members!
The RCNS's current success is rooted in the work of the initial, charter group of 54 Sunrisers; some of whom are still with the Club (as shown in bold font). That group included; Debra Abbott-Greenfield, Mark Boerkamp, Randy Bridge, Dave Brown. Cam Carter, Tony Cheung, Rhonda Clarke-Bruyn, Randy Coates, Robert Cole, Joan Davidson, Mike Dickenson, Yvonne DiPietro, Charlie Douglas, Dave Douglas, Keith Flexman, Mike Fredericks, Blair Harrison, Al Harrington, Mike Heirwegh, Gary Hepburn, Steve Jackson, Keith Jones, Janet Kazakevicious, Terri Kristman, Carrol Lambert, Doris Long, Steve Malo, John Matecsa, Scott Morris, Dave Murphy, Linda Newbury, Kim Novak, Jeff O'Donnell, Jim Peters, John Race, Keith Rainey, Peter Rasokas, Mike Redden, Barry Robinson, Eric Rustan, George Santos, Doug Slade, Bryan Slaney, Tony Suprun, Dawn Swaenpoel, Shawn Swarts, Gerry Townsend, John Verbakel, John Wallace, Peter Wheatley, Carolyn Wiens and Wayne Wormald.
Over the course of the year, our plan is to celebrate in style; to celebrate our community presence and to celebrate the way in which we have worked in our community to make things better.
Stay tuned to our media sites for more information on this anniversary.
