Early morning in Antigua and just 10 miles from the base of Volcan de Fuego, known for regular spectacular bursts of smoke, ash and glowing lava occurring every 15-20 minutes. Fuego is one of 20 active volcanos in Guatemala.

Thanks to 18 members of SGR who have - so far - reached deep to make The Rotary Club of St. George, UT Named Fund a reality ... to provide money for SGR's "service above self" projects in perpetuity. For those still contemplating a donation, the opportunity still exists andhere's how you can do it:
* Write a check payable to "The Rotary Foundation."
* District Foundation Chairman Egor Shulman will then fill out the necessary forms and submit your donation to TRF for club and individual member recognition. From there, SGR will receive a check each year in the amount of our Endowment-SHARE account's current annual spendable income.
FMI, see Dave Prisbrey.
Utah Rotary's DG Suzanne Wilhelm's two very ambitious goals for D5420 are (1) the establishment of an Endowment-SHARE in the amount of $10,000,000 (or more) from which the district's 46 clubs can apply annually for a portion of the estimated interest of $330,000 for club and district grants; and, (2) increase district membership by a net 200 new members
by June 30, 2026
So, who do you know who is willing to write a sizeable check and/or should be a member of St. George Rotary Club?
The Rotary Foundation's "Every Rotarian, Every Year" (EREY) members contribute
THIS AMOUNT or more each year to TRF's Annual Fund-SHARE
Thirty weeks into 2026 - and 3 weeks without a new case anywhere in the world - but this week we have another case of wild polio caused paralysis in Afghanistan. So we now have a worldwide case total of 7!
This year, please join the PolioPlus Society at a cost of just $8.50 PER MONTH - or an annual donation of $100 to save children around the world from this dreaded disease.
FMI, contact Foundation Chair Dave Prisbrey or Club Treasurer Collin Davis to make your wishes known!
