No breakfast This Wednesday!
It's a Pub Night Social!
The McKinney Sunrise Rotary Club will host a “Pub Night” on Wednesday, May 2, 6:00 PM at Super Shack, northeast corner of Eldorado Parkway and Hwy 75.

Crape Myrtle Plant Delivery
Every 5th grader in McKinney ISD will be provided a Crape Myrtle Plant on Friday, May 11, to give to their mothers this Mother’s Day, courtesy of the Crape Myrtle Trails Foundation spearheaded by Neil and Lynn Sperry. Sunset members Stephen Barotta with his truck and Lyle Froese will head over to the Crape Myrtle Park in Craig Ranch at 9:00 AM to load a bed full of plants for Walker Elementary School.
May 19th is Challenge Air Fly Day at McKinney National Airport from 8:00 AM until 4:00 PM!

McKinney Sunset Satellite Club
Do you need to make up a meeting to keep your attendance record in a respectable fashion? Your satellite Rotary Club, McKinney Sunset, meets the first Thursday of the month at the Hampton Inn, 2800 N. Central Expressway at 5:30 PM to hear a great program speaker, and the third Thursdayof the month for a Happy Hour at a local pub or restaurant at 5:30 PM. Each quarter, the club meets on a Saturday for a service project. This quarter, the Sunset members will be doing their part to prep flag routes and also to serve pilots for Challenge Air. They can use some more members, so if you know of a prospective Rotarian who prefers two meetings a month instead of four, and reduced dues of $55 per quarter, pass along the information to Debra Pope, Chair (dpope@cruiseone.com).
