Bellevue Sunrise Rotary is a welcoming diverse group that meets regularly for fellowship and expansion of knowledge by a slate of outstanding speakers. The recent presentation on national security by retired General (and Rotarian) Barry McCaffrey was enthusiastically received, with members and guests staying after the meeting to continue the conversation.
Our engaged members enjoy helping those in need through service projects, such as our Neighborhood Appliance Replacement Program, and grants to service organizations, such as Backpack Meals for Kids.
Our Annual Speed Croquet Tournament fundraiser is great fun for all participants and the primary source of grant funding. We aspire to grow to 30 members by providing a caring environment where each member adds value to the group, while we all strive to host pleasurable social and service events. This year’s tournament will be held on Wednesday, August 13, 2025.
A warm welcome is extended to ALL, especially our guests. Join us for great fellowship and a wonderful buffet breakfast, capped off by an interesting guest speaker. Meetings are held in the Cascades Grille located on the first floor of Embassy Suites Bellevue.
