Another great project as we presented our third annual Young at Heart show to about 150 seniors at the Burbank Joslyn Adult Center! The two hour show featured our very own President Lynette, who with her ensemble had music, dancing, and skits for the first half. Members Vsev and Joyce portrayed Tyrone and Gladys from Laugh In. Member Dave was the sound guy! The second half was anchored by our headliner, Rat Pack Ricky!! They really love it when we have him hand out long stem red roses! We gave each attendee an opportunity ticket and at intermission drew five lucky tickets for special prizes. They all went home with a goody bag courtesy of our friends from Burbank Noon Rotary! Everyone had a great time, Rotarians and seniors alike!!

Because one project in a day is never enough, club members and Interact also assisted Santa at his visit to the clients of Kids Community Dental Clinic! There was plenty of food, presents, smiles, and fun to go around! Our own club president Lynette served as Mrs. Claus!
Sunrise Rotarians and our Interact Club adopted families through the Burbank Coordinating Council and provided them with food and gifts for this holiday season. Gets chaotic every year but always comes together and this morning three sleighs were filled and we were out delivering holiday cheer. We like to think of it as a reset for our souls. We all get a little self centered sometimes and forget how blessed we are. Doing this each year and seeing the tears and smiles on the faces of our families makes us happy to be part of something where we pass on our blessings to others.
Fabulous day at Nickelodeon Studios supporting Home Again LA’s Family Cornhole Tournament! Burbank Sunrise had two teams make it through three rounds but not into the final 4. Our club was one of the sponsors! We got to play with friends from Burbank Noon and Glendale Sunrise too.
In the spirit of the holidays, we supported 3 families and children in Aviva’s interim housing program for women and children with gifts and gift cards!
Our club collected items to be donated to the military families at Camp Pendleton at our Halloween Party. Thanks to Lee and Maye for delivering!
A great time was had by all at the club’s annual Halloween Party! We do know how to have a good time!!
It’s not every day you get to attend a play with two members of your Rotary Club in the cast! Last night club members had a nice dinner at Monty’s in Woodland Hills before attending opening night for Things My Mother Taught Me at the Charles Stewart Howard Theatre! Club member Vsev and our Club President Lynette starred in this hilarious show about adult children and their meddling parents. The whole cast was amazing but we were especially proud of our club members!!
Some of our followers will remember our wine tasting fundraiser for the student pantry at LA Valley College, well this last Thursday we were able to present a check for $1000 to the LAVC Foundation and spend some time working in the pantry. So many students lack housing and are food insecure. So proud to be a small part of the solution!!
On October 7th, some of our members volunteered at Thank A Soldier packing boxes for our military serving overseas. Always happy to send some love to our deployed military personnel!
Some members of our club drove out to the Sagebrush Cantina for a fundraiser for the Rotary Clubs in Maui hosted by the Rotary Club of Calabasas. It was a fabulous event for a great cause!! Congratulations Calabasas!!!!
September 26th was a very busy meeting! The club was proud to present a check to our very own Interact member Noah who is completing his Eagle Project for Boy Scout Troop 18. He is refurbishing the Drama Department at Burroughs HS. The club also collected and donated bags of sweaters, jackets, and socks to be donated to LAUSD students and families. In addition, we donated wax lips for the Kids Community Dental Clinic Trunk or Treat event, which is sadly the same night as our club Halloween party! On the 29th, several members were up early to volunteer at the VFW Golf Tournament and on Sunday we were proud to be one of the sponsors of the Empty Bowl Fundraiser for Home Again LA! Did I mention we’re a busy club?
Each year in honor of International Peace Day, our club adopts and assists families transitioning into housing from homelessness with Home Again LA. We fulfill the needs of these families with something we call Smile Bags. We delivered those bags to our families on September 30th. These families are truly champions!!
September is a busy month for Burbank Sunrise, but all work and no play makes for a very dull club. With that in mind, several members spent a week at an all inclusive in Cabo. We had bid on it at a fundraiser for Home Again LA. We had a great week of fellowship.
