Yes, its that's time again!  Board members .... please mark your calendar and meet us at the Abbey Inn on Monday, February 2 at 10:45 a.m.  And, please be on time because, as always our club and foundation boards have lots to discuss.

On Monday, February 2, President LaRene will conduct an "up or down" vote for approval of SGR's updated bylaws (which she hopes won't take more than 2 minutes).  You should have received this document last Sunday afternoon by email which she hopes you have taken time this week to review. Thanks to Rotarian Allen Young and others who have assisted in this important process.

 

Questions?  Please reach out to President LaRene for answers until we see you at the Abbey Inn.

When the goal of 250 cases of sweet, deliciously juicy, thick-skinned, easy-to-peel, fresh-from-the-tree California navel oranges was announced, one club member noted, "well, we've sold 220 cases in the past so it won't be that much harder to sell another 30!"  

 

But as of today, we still need to sell 58 cases to reach our lofty goal (which will generate approximately $8000 in funding for club projects).

 

Should we take a very big chance and order - with our fingers crossed - 250 cases with the hope between today and delivery some in the community will respond to our PSA on local radio ... or those to whom we have emailed once or twice will open, read and respond favorably ... or those club members who have not yet ordered will commit to buying and/or selling to neighbors, friends, or co-workers eager for a taste of this delicious fruit?

 

The cost for a full case is $58 ... a half case can be yours for $34 or you can take home a quarter case for $21.

Monday, January 26 was a great day to be a St. George Rotarian as we looked back on 95 years of doing good in the community and the world. To celebrate our official date of charter on January 29, 1931, we welcomed about 25 past presidents (a dozen or more who are still members of our club) and former members.  We also had three of six Past District Governors selected from our club in attendance, including Gil Trujillo, Jim Coleman and Linda Sappington.

 

This event welcomed 52 Rotarians as well as former Rotarians and friends, who shared memories, hugs and a delicious cake, contributed by Jeff and Lyn Hogrefe. It was a wonderful opportunity to hear from past presidents Jim Coleman, Linda Baker, Rulon Olsen and Dave Prisbrey.  Together we looked back, looked forward, saw old friends from years past and enjoyed a delightful video produced and narrated by Dale Desmond, the only SGR club president to have served twice (once during the COVID year of RY2020-21 and again in RY2022-23).

 

A really big thanks also goes to the "Is It FUNNN?" Committee including Joann Coleman, Lyn Hogrefe, Carla Martinez, Linda Baker and Dale Desmond for putting this really FUNNN program together!

 

We don't have anyone to chair RYLA yet, but we can begin recruiting high school sophomores and juniors for this wonderful experience in June. In the meantime, talk it up with your kids, grands, neighbors and friends. Then pass along the names of any interested teenagers to President LaRene.
