Buffalo Sunrise has talent and uses it to serve others! Members of RC Buffalo Sunrise, Kofi Fynn-Aikens and Stan Simmons, lent their considerable musical and dance talents at two events in June. The first was a successful fundraiser held at PAUSA Art House in Buffalo. African drumming was featured and our special guest was Hannah Prince, a recent Naval Academy graduate of a Rotary Scholarship. She will begin study this September at the Women’s College in Cambridge England. Pictured on right (Stan far left and Kofi far right).
