Calling for Sunshine!
Have a story to tell? We'd love to hear it! We're looking for more Rotarians to take their turn delivering Sunshine during the opening of our meetings. Your 3-4 minutes can be just about anything — a funny story, a poem, a eulogy, a memorable travel adventure, a life lesson, a personal milestone, or anything else that will entertain, inspire, or simply help us get to know you better. No podium experience required—just a willingness to share a little of yourself.
