A Message from President Dave
David Nelson
member photo
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.

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.

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!
