We Are People of Action!
We connect passionate people with diverse perspectives to exchange ideas, forge lifelong friendships, and, above all, take action to change the world. Solving real problems takes real commitment and vision. For more than 110 years, Rotary’s people of action have used their passion, energy and intelligence to take action on sustainable projects. From literacy and peace to water and health, we are always working to better our world, and we stay committed to the end.
Every December, Bellevue Sunrise Rotary volunteers ring the bell for the Salvation Army to help fill their red buckets with much-needed donations.
Our Mission
We provide service to others, promote integrity, and advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through our fellowship of business, professional, and community leaders.
We Work Differently
We see differently: Our multidisciplinary perspective helps us see challenges in unique ways.
We think differently: We apply leadership and expertise to social issues — and find unique solutions.
We act responsibly: Our passion and perseverance create lasting change.
We make a difference at home and around the world: Our members are in your community and across the globe.
Christmas Party 2021
Tom Fowler with his extraordinary gift?!
Bellevue Sunrise Rotary held its Christmas Party with a very special guest, Britta Bunnel, the first Rotary Scholar in the WSU College of Medicine. After breakfast, members broke into song with some traditional carols, ending with “The 12 Days of Christmas." Festivities concluded with a fun gift exchange.
