Oct 28, 2021 - Oct 31, 2021
In RY2020-21, Rotary District 5420 organized the Native American Initiative (NAI) for the purpose of championing native American tribes in Utah … and despite COVID, Rotarians in 15 Utah clubs stepped up and delivered more than 350,000 lbs. (valued at almost $140,000) of “more good” toward this goal.
However, what was also planned in RY2020-21 - but didn’t happen - was a “bigger, better, bolder ‘service above self’ weekend” in support of our neighbors and friends in one or more of 11 tribal communities.
So, on Halloween weekend (October 28-31, 2021) you, your family and friends are invited to join us in Halchita where we will renovate an empty building to create the Halchita Community Center for youth and adults … host a Halloween Trunk or Treat (in a neighborhood parking lot, drivers decorate their trunks for Halloween and when loaded with candy, kids can safely "trick or treat" from car-to-car) … explore some of the most breathtakingly beautiful scenery in all of Utah … and perhaps even enjoy a few surprises!
For service, we will need many strong backs, as well as Rotarians and friends of Rotary with skills / expertise to complete some of the following improvements and upgrades:
Other projects are being planned as well, so we will need every willing volunteer, over age 14.
Bring your camper or tent or reserve a motel room in Bluff, Monument Valley or Mexican Hat!
Come, even if it’s just for a day or two … and, please sign up TODAY for this exciting event online at http://halchita.district5420.info!

Thanks for your help with this important service on behalf of those who have served our country.

On service to the community as St. George City councilwomen
Apr 18, 2022 11:58 AM
Our own Michelle Tanner and Natalie Larsen, recently elected to serve on the St. George City Council, will share their experiences in their new adventure and update SGR and what's happening in the City. The accomplished daughter of Dan and Cindi Strobell has been an active participant in SGR's Guatemala stoves project taking supplies and her own medical skills to assist where needed in Mayan villages and also serves on the Dan and Cindi Strobell Foundation Board. Michelle, born on Ellsworth Airforce Base in Rapid City, South Dakota, was a young child when she moved to St. George, UT with her parents. She has an undergraduate degree in nursing from DSU and BYU-I then went on to earn a graduate degree and became a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner through the University of South Alabama. She has worked in Emergency Medicine for more than a decade but now owns and practices in the name of Belle Tu Medical, her own small medical clinic. She has been married to “my best friend” Joshua Tanner for 14 years. The Tanners are parents to two children.
Though a native of Cedar City, UT Councilwoman Natalie Larsen “had the best childhood growing up in St. George.” Her earliest memories include watching Dixie High School or Dixie College football games in the Sunbowl or the Lion's Dixie Roundup. “Within those four or five blocks we had it all, the swimming pool, park, baseball fields, bowling alley, schools, shaved ice and the smell of the Boots Cox Dairy. Community service was behind every event. We all had the opportunity to serve our neighbors and city.” The former owners of Larsen’s Frostop (sold in 2002), Natalie and her husband Milton Larsen are currently small business owners, including wrangling a small herd of cattle. Milt operates the businesses while Natalie is a real estate professional. The Larsen’s are the parents of five children and recently became grandparents. Councilwoman Larsen has been involved with:
