Mahalo Sunrise Rotary

Despite the rain, Sunrise Rotary turned out in force on March 31 to transform the RYSE center.  Before and after shots show what an incredible transformation it was.  While the inside of the center had already undergone major renovations, the exterior was in desperate need of some sprucing up.  Thanks to the volunteers of Sunrise Rotary we have a beautiful welcoming center ready to go!
