SGR's Social Committee - also known as the "If It FUNNN?" Committee - will meet on Monday, June 1 at 10:53 a.m. at the Abbey Inn to discuss and plan for upcoming events through the end of RY2025-26. Please mark your calendar and bring your most creative ideas!
Thanks to Sam, Dale, Bryan and Boston Thiriot, John White, Jim and Joann, Dave Watson (and his pup), Daniel and family and Ed and Linda who were joined by a large group of members from the VFW and a great turnout from the Little Valley scout troop on a beautiful spring Memorial Day, when we remembered and honored more than 2200 veterans interred at St. George and Tonaquint cemeteries.

VOLUNTEERS (age 18+) needed to fill 2 hour shift from 10 a.m. - noon or 2 - 4:30 p.m. It's going to be all kinds of noisy, chaotic FUN!!!
Thanks to 18 members of SGR who have - so far - reached deep to make The Rotary Club of St. George, UT Named Fund a reality ... to provide money for SGR's "service above self" projects in perpetuity. For those still contemplating a donation, the opportunity still exists andhere's how you can do it:
* Simply write a check payable to "The Rotary Foundation."
* District Foundation Chairman Egor Shulman will then fill out the necessary forms and submit your donation to TRF for club and individual member recognition. From there, SGR will receive a check each year in the amount of our Endowment-SHARE account's current annual spendable income.

Volunteer registration is open for the PGA TOUR's Bank of Utah Championship at Black Desert Resort and our team leader Kenny is delighted we are coming back again this year! As of this writing, we have 22 of 30 volunteers committed but only 7 are registered for three shifts each!!!
Please join your Rotary friends at the spectacular Hole 11 during the week of Sept. 30 - Oct. 4. It's likely to be SGR's biggest fundraiser of RY2025-26 with every volunteer receiving a swag package, valued at $2975!!!

It’s not Rotary trivia, but it's St. George trivia!!! These two world-famous actors each spent a little time in St. George. He – in 1940 – scored an impressive game at a local bowling alley and she - in 1973 - was the Grand Marshal for the Dixie State College homecoming parade.
Hallelujah! Another week with no new cases of wild polio caused paralysis! What this means is we are still at a worldwide case total of 6 in the first 145 days of 2026!
This year, please join the PolioPlus Society at a cost of just $8.50 PER MONTH - or an annual donation of $100 to save children around the world from this dreaded disease.
FMI, contact Foundation Chair Dave Prisbrey or Club Treasurer Collin Davis to make your wishes known!
