Rotarians and friends started 2025 by taking action, helping pack meals for shipment to hungry people around the world.
Each month Rotarians get to help out with projects with our dual language learner friends at Henking School. This month it was masks and the smiling faces of students and adults say it all.
Rotarians enjoyed a beautiful October Saturday morning as they cleaned up Waukegan Road. The club does this each year and always finds some interesting things, this time including two socks (not a pair!), a six-pack of beer and two unopened candy bars!
Thursday, August 29th, past club president Joel Levin will lead our weekly program. It will include a discussion via Zoom with Pastor Mykhailo Vasilievich Brytsyn about his firsthand experience with religious persecution in Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine. Please join us in person (at the Glenview Ice Center) or by Zoom for a fascinating presentation.

Come build community with us!
The Rotary Club of Glenview Sunrise is now helping SaLT (Service and Learning Together) assist migrants through the Shop 'n' Drop food bags for 85 migrant families in the northern suburbs. Rotarians will be working periodically to pack items that will be helpful to these neighbors. The club has also made a financial contribution to the program.
For a number of years, our Rotarians have been weekly readers for dual language students at Henking School. In May we ended the school year with a lunch for the second grade students. Rotarians visited with the friends they'd made through the year, provided lunch and presented each student with a certificate of accomplishment for participating in the Rotary Readers program throughout their time at Henking. They'll move on to a new school next year but we won't forget them or their amazing teacher, Kate McNally! Just look at these smiles:
Glenview Sunrise Rotarians were present to support the Glenview Park District's annual fish release. Hundreds of people attended and children were able to help restock Lake Glenview.
Rotarians spent a morning picking up trash along Waukegan Road. That's just one of the club's environmental initiatives; another is planting and maintaining pollinator gardens throughout the village.
Working with the Rotary Club of Fort Collins, Colorado, Rotary District 6440 and The Rotary Foundation, our club helped provide safe water for the remote El Potrero community in Guatemala. Using a spring box, water storage tank and distributions system, the project also involved installing 13 latrines and enhancing residents' knowledge of the importance of safe water, proper sanitation and good hygiene. Local community members played a key role in establishing the new system and will continue to be vital to the maintenance of the system and to it being self-sustaining.
Each week, members of the Rotary Club of Glenview Sunrise read with ELL students at Henking School. Here's Rotarian Nancy Vert with Ms. McNally's second graders. It's a fun program that builds community and encourages literacy.
In January, Marcia Cebula of the Rotary Club of Glenview Sunrise joined 13 other Rotarians to work at the Oasis de Jacquin agricultural school outside of Cartagena, Colombia. They enlarged the school's plant sales area, created pathways around the perimeter of the grounds, made a planting wall and drew lines on a soccer field that will be available for children attending camp at the school. Thanks, Marcia, for your dedication on this and other international service trips!
Rotarians and Northfield Girl Scouts started 2024 by working together to provide lunches for clients at Connections for the Homeless.
