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:

Surviving the Other Virus
May 02, 2022 11:58 AM
On Monday, May 2, we are pleased to welcome polio survivors Debb Johnson and Steve Hess.Following their presentation, Club Foundation Chair Dale Desmond will have a Kahoot game covering several things. There will be prizes for the winner!Poliomyelitis is a highly infectious disease which most commonly affects children under the age of 5, spread person-to-person, typically through contaminated water. It can attack the nervous system and in some instances, lead to paralysis. Although there is no cure, there is a safe and effective vaccine - one whichRotary International and our partners have used to immunize over 2.5 billion children worldwide.From more than 350,000 cases a year in the '50s and '60s (about 1000 a day around the world), instances of poliovirus have been reduced by 99.9% since Rotary began the fight to eradicate this disease in 1985. Partners in the fight are the World Health Organization, US Center for Disease Control, and others. Last year LDS Charities - for the 3rd time - gave $1 million to RI which will be matched 2-to-1 by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. |
