Twenty-four Rotarians showed up at Reed's office on Monday, October 27 to prepare 1247 paperback dictionaries to be delivered to 3rd graders in 15 local elementary schools. President LaRene did her best to control the pandemonium, but you know how it is when Rotarians get together! We enjoyed lunch from Great Harvest Bread Company ... talking about the Bank of Utah Championship golf tournament at Black Desert and ... BYU's 8th consecutive win, this time over Iowa State .... then filled in the "quiet" moments with an assortment of noisy chit-chat. We finished in record time, and, as always, a FUNNN time was had by all!
Now let's get them delivered to the kids!

On Saturday, November 8, members and friends of St. George Rotary will gather at one of two local cemeteries - St. George or Tonaquint - at or a little before 9 a.m. where they will place the colors of our country on the final resting places of more than 2200 veterans.
If everyone arrives on time, this "service above self" will take only about an hour allowing you to get on with weekend plans and knowing you've helped make a difference for veterans' families.
We will gather the flags again on Saturday, November 15 at 9 a.m. For more information, contact Reed.

Simply pick your day (or two) at a location of your choice using St. George Rotary's ID code then jump into a competition to see which Rotarian's red kettle has the most in the way of contributions.
