Who We Are:

Lee's Summit Sunrise Sunset Rotary was chartered on March 26, 1999, has 35 members and has become the 'Little Club that Does' through our outreach to and impact on our community. Sunrise is strongly committed to the ideals of Rotary as depicted in our club vision statement: To Be A Vibrant Service Club That Is Engaged In The Community At Home And Abroad.

Sunrise Sunset Rotary has a reputation for local and international service.

Local Service:

Our Feed Lee's Summit (formerly Empty Bowls) over the past 16 years has raised $440,000, to assist local agencies who provide support to the food insecure. Feed Lee’s Summit has grown and from 2019-2021 the event has provided the four major food providers $377,800 to help fight food insecurity in our community.

Our Fly a Flag program raises $14,000 annually and funds various projects in the Lee's Summit community.

Sunrise raised over $100,000 to construct a Legacy Park playground for children with special needs.

Through the Adopt-a-Street program, the club takes responsibility for periodically cleaning up trash and debris on 3rd Street between Pryor Road and Forest Park Blvd.

International Service:

It has hosted multiple international delegations from Africa, Russia, France, Chile, Australia and the Dominican Republic, expanding our understanding of and appreciation for global medical, construction, education and legal systems. The club has also participated in school literacy programs for children in Central America and has built eight water purification plants at schools in Central Thailand.

From Oct 27th to Oct 31st Sunrise Rotary welcomed our fellow Rotarians and members of the 2021 African Group Study Exchange Team from Rotary District 9210. These Rotarians hailed from Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Sunrise Rotary members hosted each GSE member in their home for the week. The Club took the GSE team on tours of Powell Gardens, Pro Deo Youth Center, Truman Presidential Library, Negro Leagues Museum, and provided a special experience of meetings and outings for the group while they were in our area.

Sunrise Rotary purchased 218 pairs of new shoes, and 167 pairs of socks on May 21, 2022 for Shoes For Orphan Souls. Thanks to everyone who donated money to help make this happen. We also had people who went out and purchased new shoes for us to donate and we thank you as well. All in all we think with everyone’s help we will be able to put a smile on over 200 children’s faces. ❤️

On September 1, 2020 The Lee's Summit Sunrise Rotary, Rotary Club of Lee's Summit, Lee's Summit Downtown Rotary Club worked together in partnership with The St. Matthew Lutheran Church to build a new learning garden for the Lee's Summit Pro Deo Youth Center.
