Our summer excitement was tempered by Thelma Ragsdale’s departure. Thelma, our longtime Operations Manager, moved out of state. She has been a steady hand and calming presence especially during the Covid outdoor serving challenges and the transition back to normal operations.

December 2021 Newsletter
Sunrise Cafe, like our guests, survives one day at a time. Focusing on our guests in the present moment enables us to share friendship and breakfast with guests Monday through Friday with hope, grace, patience, kindness and compassion.
