SUDBURY SUNRISERS

Are you an established professional who wants to make positive changes in your community and the world? Our club members are dedicated people who share a passion for community service and friendship. Becoming a Rotarian connects you with a diverse group who share your drive to give back.

In case you missed it our guest speaker last week was Abbas Homayed, the Director Community Relations for Village Media which operates in 26 cities in Ontario including Sudbury.com. Abbas provided an overview of the changes in news media over the course of his 34 year career which were accelerated by Covid-19. He explained the importance of having local journalists reporting on local news in our communities to avoid feeling isolated and protect against misinformation. Abbas left Sunrisers with 3 key messages: 1. Support local news. 2. Share your stories with Sudbury.com. 3. Insist on openness and transparency from media outlets.
 

At our last meeting Dario Zulich shared his passion and vision to help grow and better the City of Greater Sudbury. CEO of TESC Contracting, owner of the Sudbury Wolves, Sudbury Spartans and the Sudbury Five and more recently of the Sudbury Water Tower, Dario described how he joined the board of the Downtown Business Improvement Area Association to help revitalize the downtown and is supporting the Mayor’s efforts and actions thus far in moving forward towards that goal. He encouraged Sunrisers to support city council in their efforts to clean up the downtown and to get out and vote in the upcoming provincial elections.

We meet Thursdays at 7:15am at the Radisson Hotel,   85 St. Anne Road, Sudbury. Guests and new members are most welcome!
