We have just completed the initial Surprise & Sun City West Effort for Meals of Hope on October 25 at the Ottawa University Faith Arena Lobby. This effort was the culmination of months of planning, fundraising, connecting with the City of Surprise and advertising within our local communities. 
 
This successful event was a first for our Rotary club of Surprise & Sun City West and reflected our deep commitment to this community and our service ethic. More details are in the article that follows.
