Carlisle’s three Rotary Clubs, the Carlisle Rotary Club, the Carlisle Sunrise Rotary Club and the newly formed Carlisle Rotary Sunset Club held their annual holiday dinner on 30 November at the Carlisle Country Club with 124 Rotarians and their guests in attendance. The event raised about $26,000 to support a Global Grant project to provide access to safe water and improved hygiene to three extremely poor communities in Togo, West Africa. Carlisle Sunrise also celebrated their 20th Anniversary.
