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!

And, sending New Year wishes to you today, our President sends you his thoughts on the New Year:
 

Dear Fellow Rotarians,

It is with great pleasure that I wish you all a happy New Year full of happiness and success in your personal and professional lives.

Six months ago, I took up the presidency of Dixie Sunrise Rotary which we have now merged with the Red Rock Rotary Club and have become St. George Sunrise Rotary Club.

The combination of these two great clubs has become an even better club. I want to thank everybody for all the support you have given me to make the transition as smooth as possible. We still have a busy year ahead of us and all of us together will complete the merger and continue to be a charitable and serving force in our community.

I want to wish all of you a heart felt happy new year filled with love and happiness. Be safe and enjoy the remainder of 2022 and be ready for another fun year in 2023.

Best Wishes,
Dave Nelson
President
St. George Sunrise Rotary

Our Club sponsored the Rotary Satellite Club of Southern Utah Veterans.

We are happy to see members of their club joining us from time to time and hope perhaps some of you would like to attend a meeting with them.  

They meet the 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month at 6 pm at the Elks Lodge.

 

Thank You Veterans Club for your service!

 

Please stay tuned for an after-holiday update.

 

 

*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!
