Our Club at a Glance

As suggested by the photos above, membership in Benzie Sunrise Rotary offers opportunities for both community service and fellowship. Becoming a Rotarian also connects you with a global network of 1.2 million other members who share your drive to give back. Our club has no religious or political affiliation. We believe that exemplifying and embracing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) should be a part of everything we do at Rotary.  To learn more about our Club and our focus on the youth of Benzie County check out Who We Are.  Please join us on a Tuesday morning as guests are always welcome.
