Catherine McAuley Center Grant Completed
The Catherine McAuley Center has a mission to welcome and support immigrants to our community.   Their scope covers many areas included education.
 
 
Sunrise Rotary has completed the last steps of our grant to the Children's Learning Center at Cathering McAuley Center (CMC).  
 
Our grant equipped the room with furniture, safety equipment, learning materials, and toys.  Children will use the room while their immigrant parents are in classes at the center. Rotarians have volunteered time working at the CMC as well.
