Last week might have been the craziest in Washington County's history with at least 5 major events going on simultaneously around the community. This phenomenon included a dozen of our members assembling welcome bags, in the 1st "event" of the 2-week long 39th annual Huntsman World Senior Games. Another 20 Rotarians from our club could be found at the PGA TOUR at Black Desert; and 35 Rotarians and friends of Rotary supported the 50th running of the St. George Marathon. 

 

And then 14 of our members said YES to being "home hosts" to BYU students on the following Tuesday in support of The Games. 

 

Aside from membership in SGR, these Rotarians and friends also have in common a volunteer t-shirt or uniform, representative of their "service above self" during the week of Sept. 30 - Oct. 9.

 

Since it is unlikely this circumstance will ever happen  again, will you please wash and wear your shirt or PGA uniform to our meeting on Monday, October 12 for a group photo to be taken by our guest speaker and "famed" Spectrum photographer Jud Burkett ... because we all know, "if there's no picture, it didn't really happen!"

 

See you at the Abbey!

On Friday, October 23 at the home of Lisa and Randy Shaw, we will celebrate SGR's "service above self" at October's three big events -  all held in the first same crazy two weeks of fall. 

 

OR, if you are happy you survived summer in St. George, you might coome ready to celebrate the decline into fall of our triple digit temperatures.

 

OR if you are famous for a special fall dessert you'd like to bring to share, we might be celebrating your prowess in the kitchen.

 

OR maybe its your anniversary of joining St. George Rotary!  But whatever you are celebrating, please do it with your friends at SGR!!!

 

SG Rotarians ... bring your +1 and feel free to bring a prospective member with their +1 for an evening of beautiful weather, laughter, good food and maybe even a spooky surprise, or two.  

 

But whatever you are celebrating, please do it with us!!!

Did you know ... Alan Alda (the rascally "Hawkeye Pierce" of *M*A*S*H fame) is a polio survivor?

 

As we approach another World Polio Day (Saturday, October 24) in an effort to totally and completely eradicate polio from the earth, it is important to know this dreaded disease is "no respecter of rank or position" in the world.
