Thanks go to all who supported the Port Townsend Sunrise Rotary Club in its fundraising effort to continue our youth projects including our Youth Exchange program helping incoming students from around the world and sending a Port Townsend High School student to a foreign land each year. Your help also allows our club to present a hardbound, full-color dictionary to every 3rd-grade student in Jefferson County each year. All the funds raised go to these projects and others serving young people. Without your generous help, these programs would not be possible. Thank you, so much.

You see us at fund raisers selling hot dogs and tickets for Running of the Balls, you come to our homes for dinner, participate in our golf tournament and much more.  After we raise the money doing those work projects, then we seek ways to give it all away.  Some of it goes to international projects, like the eradication of polio and bringing clean water and sanitation facilities to third world countries.  Perhaps those kinds of charitable giving is that for which Rotary is best known.  However, our club makes sure that the majority of our donations go to local organizations, right here in Port Townsend and Jefferson county.  In the past we have funded programs like providing a free, hard bound, full color, illustrated dictionary for every third grade student in the county(photo at left shows books being readied for distribution).   ...
