Always on the alert to keep the Paramus Sunrise Rotary Club vibrant, President Sophie Stone prescribed a meeting day for a breakfast. While coffee is always available, courtesy of Doctors Express, very few attendees at this 8 AM meeting have something to go with the drink. This time, members brought in assigned items like doughnuts, croissants, pies, coffee, fruit salad, bagels and cream cheese and even an egg dish especially prepared by Sophie. Here was more than enough food to accommodate visitors, guests and potential members. Read More.........

At a recent meeting, Paramus Sunrise Rotary Club donated $2,400 to three local organizations. The funds for these donations came from the support of patrons at the Annual Fashion Show.
