Good Morning!
Welcome to the Champaign-Urbana Sunrise Rotary Club website. We meet every Thursday morning at 6:45 a.m. (yes, 6:45 in the morning). Although this may be early for some, not for this lively group of philanthropic people. Each week we enjoy fellowship, fun and lots of laughter all the while supporting many worthy charitable organizations in our community, nationally and internationally.

Hi, I am Tiffany DeSpain and I am serving as chair of RYLA. I am a member of the Rotary Club of Savoy and am happy to say we have a committee of Rotarians from several clubs working in collaboration to put together a fantastic three-year curriculum for the RYLA participants. Some of the topics this year will be interviewing (learn skills to interview first), resume building, finance and budgets, diversity and inclusion programs, organization and time management, public speaking, conflict resolution and more. We will be needing volunteers from the different clubs that weekend; some to help facilitate the activities with the committee, and we will also need speakers on some of the above topics. If anyone from your club is interested in helping, please have them contact me at this email. The activities that will take place will be related to the topics the speakers present about.

Good afternoon,
Thank you for your efforts in the polio eradication effort. As I shared with you in an earlier email, three important events occurred recently:
1. We reached and succeed the $200 million Challenge from the Gates Foundation five and one-half months early!
2. In honor of that, the Gates Foundation awarded us an additional $50 million, not as a matching grant, but an outright contribution!
3. We celebrated one year without a reported case of polio in India!
We are more that “almost there!” We are on the brink!!! But, please remember, it will be three years after the last reported case of polio before the world is declared polio free. We still have three endemic countries – Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria. So, we have not fully completed our mission and fulfilled our promise. There is still work to be done!
Thank you so very much for your concern and commitment to all the world as well as to your district!

Penn was in a bicycle accident at his winter home in Naples, FL. He was riding near his home and though they aren’t sure exactly what happened, they think the brakes stuck a he approached an intersection and Penn was thrown head over the handlebars. No one else was involved as best as they can determine. A nurse happened to be in the area and called the ambulance. Penn had bleeding around his brain and five broken ribs. Cindy flew down to Florida to be with her parents. Originally, Penn was at a local hospital but he was later airlifted to a medical center in Fort Myers. Cindy said that when she walked into the ICU, Penn looked okay! Not what she was expecting. Read more »
