April starts a busy time for the Rotary Club of Salisbury - Sunrise. The Scholarship Committee, led by next years International Director Charlie Endicott, has come up with a great way to ease the tension and Just "Chill-Out" . The Cool Blues Night Out is this months best opportunity across the shore to enjoy great food, fabulous music, and the company of fellow Rotarians (the best part). This event benefits the Diriker Memorial Scholarship Award at Salisbury State University. The Diriker Memorial Scholarship is a matching fund scholarship awarded to a qualifying student at SSU.

This event is open to all, so please join us on Friday, April 20 ^th in the Bistro Room at The Commons on the campus of Salisbury State University. For details, visit our events page , contact Charlie at 410.543.6107 or by email to Charlie Endicott .

We are 5 short weeks before our cornerstone fundraiser, the 8 ^th Annual Rotary Golf Tournament takes place. The goal this year is very high, $20,000, and needs the involvement of Rotarians across the Delmarva Peninsula. This years tournament will be held on May 11 ^th at Green Hill Yacht & Country Club. This years event features a double shotgun start with many new fundraising ideas. Proceeds will go to benefit The Wellness Community of Delmarva.

Plans are underway to hold the 2 ^nd Annual Salisbury Sunrise Junior Golf Championship on August 1st, 2001. The committee is gathering sponsorships for T-signs, Pin Flags and major sponsors such as Courtesy Chevrolet, SPN Construction Management and Avery Hall Insurance. The proceeds from this tournament go towards awarding 2 $1000 scholarships to a student-athlete in the Tri-county areas of Wicomico, Worchester and Somerset Counties.

For our visiting Rotarians, please take notice of new meeting location. After a wonderful stay at the Ramada Inn for the last few years, we have moved back the the Nutters Crossing Golf Club facilities. Our meeting time is still 7:30am. Please come and visit us if you need a make-up or if you plan on being in town and want some good Rotary fellowship. We look forward to seeing you.

Again, thank you for stopping by.

- Maria Waller, 2000-2001 Club President.
