It's TONITE ... prime rib dinner, entertainment, ugly sweater contest and of course, a gift exchange (NOT white elephant gifts but 1 per person valued at less than $20).  See you at the Abbey Inn beginning at 6 p.m.
                                                       
On Monday, December 8, Cad and Karrie Cauley became SGR's 9th couple Rotarians, bringing our total membership to 73! Cad - and known to his family and friends as a bonafide workaholic - is "retired" from real estate and is happiest when busy with projects, including remodeling the couple's Bloomington home and fixing things for anyone. Karrie, also retired from real estate, loves to volunteer, travel and spend time with the couple's blended family, which includes 15 children.  
 
Sponsored in Rotary by Ed and Linda Sappington, the Cauleys are spontaneous and ready to go whenever there is something fun to do!
 
Welcome to Rotary, Cad and Karrie Cauley.  We can't wait to get better acquainted.
                                                      
SG Rotarians are still desperately needed for two hours as bell-ringers any day (except Sunday) through Christmas Eve, but specifically Monday, December 15 when we will not be meeting for lunch anyway. 
 
Here is how we have supported the Salvation Army, so far this year and in total from years past:
 
$707.32 so far in the 2025 holiday season
*  $1068.15 in 2024
*  $883.94 in 2023
*  $1954.47 in 2022
 
You can ring at any of your choice of a dozen locations any time between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. 
 
Text or email Linda Sappington to signup for this holiday "service above self" project or online at www.registertoring.com.  
                                                         
Merry Christmas to SGR's October PGA volunteers: Santa invites you to the first of two designated "volunteer play days" on Tuesday, January 13 at the discounted price of $150 (plus charges for caddy and cart) for your “service above self” managing the gallery for the PGA TOUR. 
 
Play begins with a shotgun start at 11 a.m. You will be playing in assigned groups with preset hole assignments. You will be required to check in for your tee time at least one hour before the shotgun.
 
Register for this date HERE. You have until New Years Day 2026 to RSVP at this link or until the RSVP list is filled -- whichever comes first. Please note there are only (120) spots available due to the shotgun format. 
                                                    
 
FYI: We've recently banked $5500 for SGR's "service above self" at the PGA TOUR in October but that's not even close to the amount we received in the past from this event. Still, we hope to be invited back in October 2026 to support the PGA and earn funds to do "more good in the community and the world" ... can we count on your help?

Here is where you can take courses about all-things-Rotary as well as professional development topics and they're all available FREE in this site in "My Rotary"!  

                              
Here is the best gift this year!!!It's been another week without a case of WPI with paralysis reported in either of the world's two endemic countries. This "joyful news" means we're still at a worldwide total in 2025 of 39 cases ... 9 in Afghanistan and 30 in Pakistan.
 
Won't you please consider joining 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.
