Music, dancing, and breakfast with friends on a spectacular St. George morning
Oct 05, 2024 4:17 PM
Saturday, October 5, 2024 will be a very busy "service above self" day. Beginning at 7 a.m. (earlier if you can get there) at milepost 18 (the Ledges offramp) Rotarians, their families and friends will enjoy breakfast prepared by Chef Dave and his crew ... all you can eat breakfast burritos and other good stuff while waiting for thousands of participants in the St. George Marathon. There will be good music, good food, good socializing ... and just plain FUNNN while we distribute water, Gatorade, fruit ... and the occasional bandaid. Questions? Rotarian Reed will have the answers. |

SGR fundraiser of the year!
Oct 07, 2024 4:36 AM
For more than a year, local residents and visitors have watched the Black Desert Resort rise up out of ancient lava fields in southern Utah’s spectacular red rock desert. Located at the unique crossroad of the Colorado Plateau, Mojave Desert and the Great Basin ecosystems, those traveling to Tuacahn, Snow Canyon State Park or Rocky Vista University have eagerly anticipated the opportunity to see what’s behind the chain link fence when construction is completed. Here's your chance! Volunteers in large numbers are needed to welcome players, caddies, VIP’s and guests to the FedEx Cup PGA event on the 19-hole Tom Weiskopf signature championship golf course. This is a first of its kind event, but certainly not the last, introducing hundreds of visitors to the scenic beauty of Southern Utah. St. George Rotary Club as volunteer coordinator in partnership with the PGA, needs more than 300 volunteers, 18 and over, to help park cars on the 600-acre property in three 4-hour shifts during the week of October 7-13. In addition to being some of the first in the community to see this newly created luxury resort up close, there is the possibility Rotarians and other hard-working volunteers might also be the first to welcome some world-famous visitors to Southern Utah. For more information or to schedule a shift or two, contact St. George Rotary Club at stgeorgerotary@yahoo.com or text / phone to 435-669-8020. |

Recreation, Arts and Parks (RAP) Tax for this year's election
Oct 14, 2024 11:52 AM
The Recreation Arts and Parks tax is a countywide tax that was put on the ballot in 2014 and is coming up for renewal on the ballot in November. The RAP tax applies to park and recreation-related projects, as well as arts programs and nonprofit groups. It is set up as a sales tax of one-tenth of 1% of non-food purchases – one penny for every $10. Monies generated from the tax go to the county and participating municipalities based on population and point-of-sale. Bring a neighbor, friend or co-worker for this presentation before the election! |

A funnn, fundraiser for PolioPlus
Oct 26, 2024 6:11 PM
Last year was so much fun bowling together, but we didn't raise any money and we didn't have any teams competing from other clubs so we're doing it again! We will be playing in the "B" Lounge at Fiesta Fun. There will be teams from other clubs. Fundraising will be accomplished through pledges from friends, neighbors, co-worker and other club members at a rate of 50 cents per pin with the promise proceeds raised will be sent to PolioPlus. David and Carla will bring their food truck and there will be lots of fun, friends and probably a few gutter balls! Wanna be on the team? We will save you a place!

What if you couldn't read?
Oct 28, 2024 11:58 AM
What if you couldn't read? How would you fill out a job application? Apply for a driver license? Understand your doctor's directions for your health care? Help your children with their homework? In the 2022–2023 school year, 56% of first graders, 67% of second graders, and 66% of third graders met reading benchmarks at the beginning of the year. By the end of the year, 62% of first graders and 71% of third graders met the benchmarks, while second graders remained at 67%. However, according to the Utah State Board of Education, less than half of students in grades 1–3 were reading at their expected grade level. On Monday, October 28, our speaker will be Kathy Hall, Elementary Literacy Coordinator Specialist for the Washington County School District. Bring a neighbor, friend, co-worker or another interested individual for this important program. |
