Good Morning!
Welcome! Each week, C-U Sunrisers enjoy fellowship, fun and lots of laughter while supporting worthy causes in our community, nationally and internationally. Our meetings are every Thursday at 6:45 am. We gather at the Champaign Holiday Inn, 101 Trade Center Drive.
C-U Sunrise Rotary has Sponsored Cooper, The Comfort Dog
C-U Sunrise Rotary Club has recently sponsored Cooper, the comfort dog for the Children’s Advocacy Center. CAC spoke to our club awhile back and talked a bit about Cooper and the benefits he brings to the process of interviewing children during traumatic times.
As part of our commitment to the Champaign-Urbana community, our club decided to sponsor Cooper and pay for his needs.
Plan on attending our morning meeting on May 23rd and meet Cooper, our featured speaker (bark). We have a small token of appreciation for him… as you can see.

Diaper Drive
Help us help families! We’re collecting diapers for local food pantries on Sunday, March 3. We’d prefer sizes Newborn, 5, and 6, since they’re the most requested, but anything will do. Drop them off in our front parking lot and help us fill “Big Red” – one of our volunteers’ pick-up trucks. The truck will be available 10-noon and 4-8 PM. If you need to drop off diapers at another time, contact the church office.
