This year, St. George Rotary Club’s Christmas party will NOT involve a gift exchange, but will include entertainment provided by some of our very own talented Rotarians and their family members; an ugly sweater / holiday sweater contest; an entry “fee;” a simple service project for which each Rotarian is asked to bring 25-30 of something to put in 25-30 Christmas stockings for a child or a neighbor in need of holiday cheer … and maybe there might also be a few surprises.

Watch for more information about this certain-to-be-memorable holiday event over the next few weeks and plan to join us at the Best Western Abbey Inn at 6 p.m. on Monday, December 16.

Join SGR and friends for a tour of the new St. George Musical Theater (known as the renovated Cinema 6 Theater), located at ???? S. Main Street.  In addition to a tour of the newly remodeled theater-in-the-round, this 90-minute opportunity to see what goes on behind the scenes will include box lunches, a presentation by SGMT's Board Chairman Dimon McPherson ... and perhaps even a bit of entertainment.

You won't want to miss out on this chance to explore southern Utah's premier community theater.

PLEASE NOTE this program WILL BEGIN AT 11:45 a.m. and CONCLUDE AT OUR REGULAR END TIME at 1:15 p.m.

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!
