A Message from President Dave
David Nelson

I am honored to serve as your president this year.  As all of you know we are members of the best club in Utah and I will do my best to keep that honor.  We are very much a service oriented club and I plan to keep that as our main focus.  We do have a new board and several new committee chairs in place and they will lead us into the new year.  I ask everyone to give them your support.  They have a tough job, but with your help they will all be successful.
 
I have two major goals for this year.  My first goal is to complete the merger of the Dixie Sunrise and Red Rock clubs into the Saint George Sunrise Club.  Our two clubs are a perfect match.  We have many issues to work through and none are impossible.  We will from a merger committee to work through all the issues and to keep the club informed on their progress. The second goal is to continue supporting the veterans club and help the club grow in membership and expand their influence in the community.  We will accomplish this with the excellent leadership of the club's president, Doug Walker and his team. 
 
So as you know I have asked all of you to just give the club at least two hours a month.  Some already do a lot more and if we can add more  hours IMAGINE how much more we can accomplish. 
 
IMAGINE ROTARY!

The PolioPlus Society

As a Rotarian and supporter of Polio Eradication, Rotary’s Number One Priority, I wish to participate in the Countdown to History as a member of the

PolioPlus Society of District 5240 Joining the Society is a two-step process.

First: Go to https://formsmarts.com/form/28rk or scan the QR code below to fill out the online form indicating your desire to join the Rotary District 5240 PolioPlus Society.

Until the world is polio-free, every child is at risk.

You will receive a PolioPlus Society certificate, PolioPlus Pin and an End Polio Now Bracelet, which will be presented at a club meeting to make sure you are recognized for your commitment to polio eradication. .

Second: make your donation in one of the ways described below.

To make your tax-deductible donation go to myrotary.org/donate and click on “Polio Fund”. You can choose a one-time donation of $100 or more, or a recurring donation in the amount and frequency of your choice (We suggest $10/month as the “easy way” to become a PolioPlus Society member.) Of course, you can also write a check payable to “The Rotary Foundation”, with PolioPlus in the memo section, and give to your club’s Foundation Chair.

Your contribution also qualifies for Paul Harris Recognition Points and will be matched 2 to 1 by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

 

 
*Note: our community has an endless number of absolutely critical needs and needs help from our citizens.  However, as a Rotary Club we cannot be all things to all people.  So only those service opportunities approved by the Board will be listed in this bulletin.  If you have project you wish our members to support, please submit your request to President Dave prior to the Board Meeting each month.   Thank you!
