AND
see note below from Mike Branum regarding how we can support Ironman by supporting his effort!
I am participating in the Ironman 70.3 on May 6. I am participating as an Ironman Foundation "athlete" (and I use that term VERY loosely when applied to me). I am asking for donations to support my swim / bike / run. You are 100% GUARANTEED that part of your donation will come back to St. George Sunrise Rotary. Our club has received a grant from the IMF every time Ironman has come to town. Giving back to an organization that gives to our club and other local charities is the reason I decided to participate as an IMF athlete.
If you are not familiar with what IMF does, here is a link to the IMF YouTube page with videos explaining the mission of the IMF.
Thank you to those who have already donated! Every donation gets me one step closer to my goal and supports worthy non-profits in St. George and around the world.
Mark your calendars for the following events offered by the Veterans Rotary Club:
Veterans Club Board Meeting
March 23rd
Elks Lodge service project
Flag Star Card Project
April 13th
Social at Douglas' home
Thank You Veterans Club for your service!
And, one last item:
You may notice there is not a Polio report in this bulletin.
From now on a monthly polio update will be provided in the Club Newsletter.
*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!
