What is Rotary?

The Bloomington-Normal Sunrise Rotary Club was Chartered in 1990 as a member club of Rotary International ("RI").
Membership requirements are set by Rotary International. Membership is by invitation and is limited to individuals who occupy senior positions in their business or organizations.
Regular attendance at weekly meetings is an important requirement. Active participation in one or more of the areas of service is also expected.

Community Service - Programs designed to assist community members in need
