This week it will be our honor to hear from Jim Lewis, a member of the Rotary Club of Moorpark, California.  He, along with his brother, was stricken with polio at a young age.  Now a polio survivor and post polio victim, Jim's fight to rid the world of this debilitating disease is unrelenting.  He will be joining us via Zoom from his home as Ina did last year at this time.  You won't want to miss this!
 
This meeting will have a Zoom option.  The Zoom link is below for anyone who might need to join us remotely.  PLEASE NOTE this is NOT the same Zoom link we used last year.

Rotarians around the area are gathering to provide a Halloween experience for the children in Halchita.  Due to the distance it is not practical for most of our members to travel to the site, however, Art Haines will be making a trip in that direction and will deliver our donations of candy, tooth brushes, and other small items for the children.  Please bring your donations this week and next.  

 
 
Mobile Food Bank project:
Packing at the Food Bank on Wednesday the 27th of October  and distribution on 
Thursday the 28th and Friday the 29th.
Please sign up via the e-mail you received from Dave Nelson.
Come lend a hand if you can!

 

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. Please keep this project in mind as you are shopping.  If you run into a great sale, pick up and item or two! 

MILLCREEK HIGH SCHOOL WARM CLOTHING DRIVE

WHAT WE NEED: socks blankets gloves

LAST DAY TO BRING CLOTHES TO ROTARY IS NOVEMBER 18TH

 

You may bring items to the meeting starting this week.  Kim has generously offered storage space as items come in.

 

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. 

 
 
New opportunities!

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 (this month that will fall on October 13th) to do trail maintenance.  Sandi Schwartz will be leading this work project.  See her for more details.

 

The Reading program has launched!  If you have just a little time and a love for children, please consider being a part of the reading with 3rd grades project.  Please see Alicia, Dennis, or Sandi for more details. 

 

 
 
 
Our Club will again be participating in honoring those veteran's in our community who have passed on by placing flags on the veterans' graves at the Tonaquint Cemetery.  Stay tuned for 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.
