Sun Lakes Rotary Teacher of the Month

Sun Lakes Rotary Club (Chartered April 22, 1986) is a leadership organization made up of men and women from local businesses, professional, education, civic and emerging leaders. We meet regularly, get to know each other, form friendships, and through that we’re able to get things done in our greater Sun Lakes community. Come join us and share our passion for community service and friendship.

Our Sun Lakes Rotary Club's 80+ members embrace Rotary International's Vision “Together, we see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change across the globe, in our own communities and in ourselves”. Our members are working and retired men and women of action from the Sun Lakes and Chandler communities who are committed to service in our own communities, communities around the world, and especially projects and programs that support our youth and education. We WELCOME you to one of our weekly meetings where you will have the opportunity to meet our members, join in on the fun, and get to know Rotary and what we are doing. We meet on time, we eat on time, we have a good time.

Rotarian of the Month

We are proud to announce that the October Rotarian of the Month is Judi Edward who until recent retirement was a K-12 Teacher for Special Education and English as a second language. Judi joined the Sun Lakes Club in August 2018 and has become active in the Club’s Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (“RYLA”) Committee, which selects Chandler Unified School District high school students to participate with other Arizona students in an intensive three-day leadership program that helps develop skills in leadership, networking and having some fun at the same time.

Meet our new Club Vice President and he competes in the Arizona Ironman Competition

We are proud to have Stephen Phair as a member of our club and one that has become involved so quickly since joining our 75+ membership in February 2019. He quickly joined a couple of club committees and now has taken on the leadership challenge of Club Vice President with the target of becoming our Club President in a couple of years.

Water Bottles for Elementary Students

San Marcos Elementary of the Chandler Unified School District needed assistance in providing a personal water bottle for each student because the water fountains will be shut off due to COVID-19 concerns as students return to school. In working with Principal Becky Henderson, we were able to furnish 400 water bottles at a cost of $554.
