McKinney Sunrise Rotary

As McKinney grew from a small town of 20,000 people in the late eighties, it was time for the McKinney Rotary Club to sponsor a new club. McKinney Sunrise Rotary Club was chartered in May 22, 1992 with 20 charter members. A lot of changes have taken place since then and although the club has grown to over 40 members, Charles Koehler, Club Secretary, is the only remaining Charter member. McKinney Sunrise Rotary Club meets weekly on Wednesday mornings for breakfast and to hear an interesting program about our community.

In December 202, the club confirmed initiating a scholarship granting relationship with the Collin County College Foundation. The scholarship granting will be a partnership relationship whereby the Rotary Club of McKinney Sunrise will provide the initial funding of one scholarship Endowment by seeding the endowment with $5000.

This endowment is scheduled to appreciate through additional gifts to a total of $30,000. During the growth period, only interest income will be available for granting scholarship grants. In addition, the Rotary Club of McKinney Sunrise will provide $45,000 for Technical Campus Scholarships in the area of Automotive Technology, Construction Management, HVAC Technology, Welding Technology, and Health Science professions.
