On Monday, October 19, SGR will gather at Reed's office, located at 35 W.
On Friday, October 23 at the home of Lisa and Randy Shaw, we will celebrate SGR's surviving hundreds of hours of "service above self" while participating in October's three big events - all held in the first crazy two weeks of fall.
OR, if you are happy you survived summer in St. George, you might come ready to celebrate the decline into fall of our triple digit temperatures.
OR if you are famous for a special fall dessert you'd like to bring to share, perhaps we'll be celebrating your prowess in the kitchen.
OR maybe its your wedding anniversary OR your anniversary of joining St. George Rotary! But whatever you are celebrating, please do it with your friends at SGR!!!
SG Rotarians ... bring your +1 and feel free to bring a prospective member and their +1 for an evening of beautiful weather, laughter, good food and maybe even a spooky surprise, or two.
But whatever you are celebrating, our first social of RY2026-27 is going to be all kinds of fun!!!
ENCHANTED NIGHT AT THE SG CHILDREN'S MUSEUM
Did you know ... Donald Sutherland, the original rascally "Hawkeye Pierce" of M*A*S*H fame and one of the best actors never nominated for an Academy Award, is a polio survivor?
As we approach another World Polio Day (Saturday, October 24) in an effort to totally and completely eradicate polio from the earth, it is important to know this dreaded disease is "no respecter of rank or position" in the world.
Please support this 38-year effort by donating $8.50 a month in support of RI's effort! See Foundation Chair LaRene Cox or Club Treasurer Collin Davis to sign up.
President Kolby's membership goal for RY2026-27 is a net 78 (we are currently at 72) which means we need to work hard to find more new members.
The only way we can reach our goal of six new members this year, is by inviting someone - a friend, neighbor, or co-worker - to check us out around the lunch table! So be sure to keep 15 or more invitation cards in your pocket and hand them oOut with gusto!
It all starts with an invitation to lunch... so, who do you know who should be in Rotary?
In Utah Rotary District 5420's October district newsletter, District Governor Peter Cardon challenged Rotarians to do THIS as a way to strengthen our club!
Another "World Polio Day" is right around the corner (October 24) but polio still exists as exemplified by last week's statistics ... Pakistan is at 5 new cases of wild-polio with paralysis, but Afghanistan's count has reached 36 for a worldwide total of 41 in 2026 (compared to 31 last year in the same time period)!
Since we haven't yet crossed the finish line in this 38-year fight, will you please consider joining the PolioPlus Society at anominal cost of just $8.50 per month- or a single annual donation of $100 - to save children around the world from this dreaded disease?
See Foundation Chair LaRene Cox or Collin Davis, our club treasurer for information on how to sign upbecause this fight isn't over 'til its over!
"best wishes" from your friends at St. George Rotary
