Oh no! Christmas really is just around the corner! Please keep in mind that we will be again providing donations to the Millcreek Alternative School of warm clothing, socks, hats, etc. More details as we get closer but please keep this project in mind as you are shopping. If you run into a great sale, pick up and item or two!
We will be doing the gift bags for the Senior Shut Ins as well. So, the same message goes here, if you see personal items appropriate to those bags be sure to grab a few.
A new opportunity!
Our Club is launching a new way for you and your friends to be of service!
We will be visiting Snow Canyon State Park monthly, on on the second Saturday of the month to do trail maintenance. Sandi Schwartz will be leading this work project. See her for more details.
*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 Charlotte prior to the Board Meeting each month. Thank you!
As you are aware, 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 on the 2nd Thursday of the month at 5:30 at the Elks Lodge.
