There will be no meeting on Monday, January 19 as we commemmorate Martin Luther King / Civil Rights Day.

Enjoy a day off and see you next week!

Join us on Monday, January 26 when SGR celebrates 95 years of doing good in the commumity and the world.  There will be informatioin, games, cake and, maybe even a few surprise guests! 

Bring a friend, neighbor or co-worker for memorable fun!

Our speaker on Monday, February 2 probably doesn't need an introduction because in more than 30 years he and Tuacahn Amphitheater and Center of the Arts has become famous bringing millions to experience "Broadway in the desert" including concerts with well known performers and Broadway-quality shows from spring to the holiday season.  

As if he doesn't already have far too much on his plate, he made the decision to run for the position of mayor of the city of Ivins ... and won!  

He will have lots to discuss so bring friends, neighbors and co-workers to hear what he has planned for the upcoming year in the big red Tuacahn canyon and in city hall!

Eight to 10 judges are needed for the upcoming annual Science Fair held at Legacy Elementary School located at 280 East 100 South (across from the Lions Club building).  These future scientists will "wow" you with their knowledge and projects but they are students in grades K-5 so its more funnn than science. 

Sign ups coming soon.

See Reed with any questions you may have.

On Monday, February 23 at the Best Western Abbey Inn, St. George Rotary will welcome St. George City Mayor Jimmie Hughes as our speaker.

Mayor Hughes found his way into local politics in 2012 when he was elected to the St. George city council. He remained in service as a city councilmember until 2025 until he was elected as Mayor of the “nation’s #1 top performing small metropolitan area.”  He also serves on the Local Homeless Coordinating Committee (LHCC), St. George Housing Authority, Friends of Switchpoint, Washington County Solid Waste Board, Dixie Metropolitan Planning Organization and the Washington County Flood Control Authority boards.

As time permits, Jimmie, his wife Tawny, their 5 kids and 3 grandsons, enjoy their small cattle ranch on the Arizona Strip bordering the Grand Canyon where they can “get away from it all” to mend fences, brand cattle and just relax by working hard.

Jimmie was born and raised in St. George. He graduated from Dixie High School and did a short stint at what was then Dixie College before serving a 2-year church mission in Brazil.  He holds an Associate’s Degree in Applied Funeral Sciences and is currently the owner of Hughes Mortuary.

Rotarian Daniel Adams will introduce SG Rotarians to Planstin Administration ...

FROM THE HISTORIC COURTHOUSES.COM WEBSITE:  In the heart of St. Goerge stands a treasured symbol of communitym courage and civic life.  Builtin 1870 from locally quarried red sandstone and adobe brick the Historic Pioneer Courthouse has watched over generations - serving as a center of justice, governance, and gathering for a century and a half.

Today, after a thoughtful and essential restoration, its doors are open once again.

Not simply an historic site, but owned by Washington County and managed by United We Pledge, the courthouse will remain a place where our community gathers, learns, celebrates and plans for the future while honoring the past.

This 1st of 4 "away from home" walk and talk will include a box lunch.  Bring a neighbor, a friend or a co-worker.

St. George Rotary is a fan of the Utah Food Bank and thanks to Rotarian Paul Tikalsky we get to spend the 5th Monday of March (actual date is Monday, March 30) helping feed the hungry in the five county region.  Box lunches will be served before we go to this important work.  11:39 a.m. at 4416 S. River Road.  

This is SGR's 2nd of 4 "away from home" gatherings.  Come one, come all ... and bring along an interested friend, neighbor or co-worker to get a feel for what "service above self with friends" is all about!  

Back in 1905, even Rotary founder Paul Harris and his crew weren’t exactly formal.  They rotated meetings just to keep things interesting.

SGR has been invited to a talk and tour at firestation #1 - at 400 E. 100 South - compliments of Chief Robert Stoker.  Lunch will be provided by the club ... tour by Chief Stoker.  Bring along a friend, neighbor or co-worker for this interesting update on what's happening here in our city.

This is the 3rd of 4 "away from home" meetings ... so, don't get lost!

This year's 4-Way Test Essay Contest will be held in the board room of the WashCo School District office ... and this year our chairman is new Rotarian and retired educator Lisa Shaw!  Lunch provided by the Pizza Factory is certain to be a special treat  We expect - as always - this will be another great event as we hear from and introduce local intermediate school students - and their proud parents, grandparents and friends - to Rotary!

This is the 4th of 4 "away from home" events for SGR ... so don't get lost!
