Burbank Sunrise has partnered with LA Valley College to help students that are unhoused and food insecure. We collected items and gift cards for their pantry and look forward to many more ways to help.

Congratulations to club member Chris Hodges on earning her Paul Harris Fellow Plus 1!
Thirty Rotarians donned their red carpet worthy duds and enjoyed a night of fellowship at Morton’s Steakhouse. The night included awards and swag bags! Always fun to get together with our club and fellow Rotarians from other clubs!
President Juan was happy to present Paula Arreola, our Vocational Grant Scholar, with her grant check to help her with her studies to become a Licensed Phlebotomist and Certified Nursing Assistant. Paula is a single mom of 6 kids. She was referred to the club by the Burbank Adult School.
The Rotary Club of Burbank, the noon club, celebrated their 100th Anniversary with a gala at Lakeside Country Club. The first Rotary Club was founded in 1905. In 1988, Burbank noon sponsored the formation of the Rotary Club of Burbank Sunrise. We have enjoyed many years of community involvement and fellowship with their club and were proud to come out and support their milestone.
Our club was happy to support Matthew Noren’s Eagle Scout project. He restocked a VEPOD (Volunteer Emergency Point Of Distribution) at the Tarzana Community and Cultural Center. This VEPOD provides essential supplies to residents for immediate relief before FEMA can arrive. The VEPOD also provides supplies that can be transported to other locations. He was able to stock 2700 cans of Blue Can Water, 46 MREs, 7600 surgical masks, 12000 Vinyl Gloves, 200 goggles, 40 blankets, 96 rolls of toilet paper, 1000 paper cups, 1000 paper bowls, 500 paper plates and a Blue 500’ roll of plastic!
Our last project of the year! A little something for the 6 residents of Linden House who are transitioning out of foster care. We wished them a happy holiday with grocery, Target, AMC, Dominos, and gas gift cards. Sees candy too!!
Burbank Sunrise and our Interact Club gave some families a happier holiday with our basket delivery Saturday. This is a community wide project where families in need are adopted and provided food, presents, and gift cards.
For November, we conducted a Paper Drive Linden House transitional housing program. We presented them with paper products & gift cards in support of their emancipated and homeless youth.
So proud of our JBHS Interact Club. They supported the Burbank Animal Shelter with a donation of pet food, towels, and toys!
Sunrise Rotarians enjoyed a night of fellowship and fun at Descanso Gardens and their seasonal event Carved!
