Club News
Members from the Rotary Club of Round Rock Sunrise, once again demonstrate their commitment to the children of our community through our ongoing work with the Table of Grace. This impressive organization provides care and support for kids entering the foster care system. Given the circumstances that led them to the Table of Grace, it is understandable that their emotions are all over the place, so one of the ways to help ease the transition is to provide each new guest with a welcome basket. This basket contains essentials such as a toothbrush and toothpaste, as well as [age range specific] items to make them feel welcome.
 
Recently our members had the opportunity to help assemble a number of baskets for future residents and the one thing I would say is that it is impressive how many things you can fit into a small basket. To wrap things up, we also wrote inspirational notes that we placed in the basket for the kids to read as they settle in. As they say, every little helps.
Our Satellite club has changed its monthly meeting time at the Table of Grace. We now meet the 2nd Wednesday of every month at the Table of Grace (Doris Lane location), 3845 Doris Lane in Round Rock at 6:30 pm.
Members of the Rotary Club of Round Rock Sunrise joined forces with the Round Rock Police Department to help make their Step-N2-Success program even more rewarding for these deserving kids. This program provides new shoes to children from low-income families ahead of their returning to school. For each of the 883 families the event was serving, our Club provided Plush Toys to make this event more fun. In fact, one group with three boys who each opted for the green dinosaur plush, which you may be able to see in the picture, decided that the dinosaurs should fight, and it was so cute watching them trying to be protective of their new toy while immersing themselves in their role-playing adventure.
Service Coalition of Round Rock Parade Entry Train
As part of the Service Coalition of Round Rock (SCORR) members of the Rotary Club of Round Rock Sunrise participated in the parade in downtown Round Rock on July 4th, 2024. The purpose of our participation was to promote how working collaboratively with other service organizations in the local area, we can achieve great things. During the parade, we gave out plush toys to kids along the route, which were a huge success. Here's looking forward to 2025.
On February 17th, we partnered with the Rotary Club of Austin to participate in meal packaging for Rise Against Hunger! Thanks to those who showed up and volunteered! In addition to all the thousands of food bags assembled, the event also raised over $9,000 which will be used to help combat hunger worldwide.
 
Thanks to all who helped with the parking fundraiser over all 6 UT home games in 2023! This was a great source of income for our club. Thanks also to the Rotary Club of Austin University Area for letting us partner with them on this project!
