We wrapped up the Rotary year with a splash... literally! What better way to thank Gail for her amazing two year run as President and welcome Jennifer as our fearless new leader than by gently encouraging them into the pool! They both took it like champs, gracefully slithering in from the shallow end steps.
Laughter, gratitude, and great company made for an unforgettable evening. Here’s to new beginnings and continued service above self!

This morning, we had the privilege of hearing from Darby and Diana, two dedicated educators who are now leading a deeply meaningful initiative: the New Hope Teen Center.

With a combined 36 years of experience teaching at Salisbury High School and Red Bluff High School, they have spent nearly two decades witnessing firsthand the heartbreaking struggles of local teens-stories of homelessness, lack of support, and lives without guidance or stability.

Fueled by those experiences, they are now working to create a safe, welcoming space for homeless and at-risk youth-a place open late where teens can feel safe, supported, and valued. Their vision is not only to offer shelter, but to be a beacon of hope, stability, and direction for those who feel lost.

They’ve made it clear that they won’t open the doors until they’ve secured a full year of funding, ensuring the center will have a solid foundation from day one.

To support this mission, they are hosting a fundraiser on June 30th. Tickets are just $10. While dinner won’t be served, cookies and a variety of prizes will be available for auction or bidding-offering both fun and an opportunity to give back.

Darby and Diana’s compassion and commitment remind us all of the power one step can have in creating lasting change in a young person’s life.

With heartfelt gratitude and a touch of sadness, we say goodbye to a few cherished members of our Sunrise Rotary family. Though small in number, our mighty club continues to shine-just as it has since our founding 36 years ago on June 14th.
Sunrise Rotary has always been a powerhouse of service, fellowship, and community impact. Now, more than ever, we’re looking to grow and welcome new faces ready to make a difference.
Interested in joining us? Come by any Friday morning from 7-8 AM at the M&M Ranch House, or meet us in a more relaxed setting at our next social event-July 9th at the beautiful Rustic Rose!
Message us for more details. Be part of the next generation of great leaders. Immerse yourself in service, connection, and purpose with Sunrise Rotary.

We meet tomorrow and we want you,
At the M&M Ranch, you know it’s true!
From 7 to 8am, come see what we do,
Fridays are better with our crew!
'cause we rise with the sun, we're the Red Bluff Sunrise Rotary crew,
We're around 50 to 80, but we still got moves, ain't that true!
Not chasing TikToks or late night scenes,
We're playing White Elephant and living our dreams!
We've got Rustic Rose vibes, we like to gaze at each star,
Talking about service and playing games, yeah, that's who we are!
We're not the 20/30 club, running wild all day,
We roll a little different, but we still slay!
Hanging out at each other's homes on some nights,
Board games, belly laughs, good food and good sights.
Annual party? You know the deal,
Pizza and wine, it gets real!
Phones out, laughing, splash goes the boss,
That's Sunrise Rotary, we flex with some sauce!
We meet bright and early at M&M from 7 to 8am,
Coffee on hand, ready to serve again!
Not twenty, not thirty,
Still sharp, still sturdy!
Sunrise Rotary, coolest club in our city!
Fiscal year comes to an end, you know the rule,
Dress nice and you will get pushed in the pool!
Laughs, good deeds, and a whole lot of cheer,
That's how Sunrise Rotary does it every year!
Scholarships lifting up the next big dream,
Dictionaries handed out to the littlest team.
Homeless youth - we're standing tall,
CHP Explorers, we answer the call.
PAL's got kids playing safe and smart,
Dolly's books bringing hope from the heart.
And when you catch a bus at the Shasta College Red Bluff Campus you'll say
Yep, they built that - that was them, Sunrise Rotary baby!
Sunrise Rotary, living our prime,
Giving back to the world, one project at a time!
We rise with the sun - that's how we roll!
50 to 80 years young, but still rocking with soul!

This morning, Sunrise Rotary was honored to host guest speakers Woody and Berie from our District leadership team. They shared valuable insights on strategies to grow our membership and engaged us in thoughtful conversation about the future of our club. Each member contributed their vision for where they see our club in the next three years, and we look forward to continuing that discussion in our upcoming meeting.
We were especially inspired by Woody’s message:
“Rotary and service above self is our best path to happiness.”
Thank you, Woody and Berie, for your leadership and encouragement!

Last Friday our club welcomed Greg Jones - New County Supervisor - as our speaker.
Greg Jones, originally from a family farm in Los Molinos, has had a diverse background including time as a cable car driver, Navy service, and studies in Arabic and graduate school in Washington, D.C. He eventually returned to farming and became active in the community, including organizing the Orchard Festival. Encouraged by his wife, a former Chico State economics teacher, he ran for County Supervisor.
As a new supervisor, Greg is taking time to observe and understand local government. He emphasizes transparency, consistency in basic services, and meeting the needs of a largely senior population. He supports a general sales tax for broader funding and is focused on spending a $12 million grant wisely, addressing housing affordability and community needs.

To all Rotary mothers...
In service ... you lead the line,
With hands that help and hearts that shine.
You’re there for fundraisers and fun,
And never stop until it’s done!!!

This morning, we had the pleasure of welcoming Pati Nolen, Tehama County Board of Supervisors member, as our guest speaker. Pati shared inspiring reflections on the community’s response during the Park Fire, commending the proactive efforts of various organizations, especially in the Manton area, which she calls home.
She acknowledged the challenges many face when it comes to insurance, but remains optimistic about future plans aimed at keeping homes safer. Pati emphasized her dedication to helping the local economy recover and restoring hope for small businesses.
Additionally, she expressed a strong desire to work collaboratively with the City on issues such as homelessness, highlighting the essential role of law enforcement. Pati also spoke of her commitment to building deeper relationships with all three local tribes, especially the Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians.
We appreciate her insights and dedication to serving Tehama County!

We’re back where it all began — and couldn’t be happier!
Sunrise Rotary is proud to meet every Friday from 7–8 AM at the M&M Ranch House, recently named Business of the Quarter by the Tehama County Chamber of Commerce.
