Sunrise has graciously arranged for us to have a special site visit/tour of their facility in Puslinch. This offsite meeting will replace our regular breakfast meeting.
Sunrise is located on a 102-acre farm just south of the 401 in Puslinch Township. The farm is just a 15-minute drive from both Cambridge and Guelph, offering a variety of accessible and innovative facility resources, made possible by capital grants from local service clubs, corporations, individuals and foundation, including the Ontario Trillium Foundation. It's mission is to develop the full potential of children and adults with special needs through therapy, education, horse riding, recreation, and life skills programs, farm-related and social activities, and to further develop and expand Sunrise’s programming to support a Residence/Respite Village Community.
For those newer members in particular this will be a good opportunity for you to become more familiar with this charitable organization that we have supported for more than 20 years. Since 2003 they have been the principal recipient of funding from our annual "Taste of Italy" pasta dinner and have partnered with us on service initiatives like hosting busloads of children from the Shelldale community for picnics at the farm.
A continental breakfast (coffee/tea, muffins, fruit and yogurt) will be available for those attending. And who knows, you might even get to meet "Miami" the therapy horse that our club is currently sponsoring.
IF YOU PLAN TO ATTEND PLEASE RESPOND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO THAT SUNRISE CAN KNOW HOW MANY TO EXPECT.
