"Parachuting for Polio" on World Polio Day POSTPONED
No, it's not because our jumpers have backed out. It's due to cold temps, our "Parachuting for Polio" event has been postponed. Stand by for the next scheduled date ... hopefully soon when President Dale and DG Jose ... along with St. George Sunrise President Dave Nelson and Rotarian Stephanie Velasco will be fly over Hurricane to raise funds for our 37-year war against this dreaded disease.
In the meantime, on this World Polio Day, our meeting will feature learning - and laughs - from President Dale and a polio update from Past District Governor Sandi Schwartz (District 5240 - Riverside, CA).
This will be important information for friends, family members or co-workers who might be interested in "what's Rotary?"
A regularly scheduled bicycle repair clinic will be held at 143 S. 100 West in St. George (in the garage) every Monday (except Halloween) at 6 p.m. until the bikes are done and ready for transport to Halchita. About 10 volunteers needed each week for a couple of hours. Bring tools to fix what’s broken. We have invited a bicycle repair expert and others to join us whenever they can so let’s get ‘er done in time for Christmas
On Saturday, November 5 at 8:00 a.m. SGR members and their families and friends will gather at (your choice of) St. George or Tonaquint cemeteries where we will post our nation’s colors on more than 2000 graves in honor of Veterans Day. Then at 9 a.m. we will gather on the SW corner of Vernon Worthen Park for breakfast prepared by Chef Dave. Everyone is invited!!!
On Saturday, November 12 at 5 p.m. we will gather again to collect the flags.
Questions? Contact Service Chair Reed Noble for answers.
We currently have enough grocery bags to create TWO but we need 1000 or more to create 3-4 sleeping mats for some of the homeless in our community.
BTW, these sleeping mats raise the ground temperature by 40 degrees on cold winter nights.
More to come on this important "service above self" project but in the meantime, keep saving your grocery bags and bringing them to Rotary ... but not this Monday!
On the weekend of Nov. 10-12, Salt Lake City will see its largest gathering of Rotarians since the 2007 RI Convention when members from 30 districts in the Western U.S. and Canada travel to Utah. Join us on the "Trail to Peace" at the Zone 26/27 Institute where we'll Imagine Rotaryin a peaceful world!
