Join SGR and volunteers from the Santa Clara YSA Ward in Pine Valley on Saturday, April 25.  Also known as National Arbor Day, on this day we will plant at least 250 trees - thanks to a generous donation from the non-profit TreeUTAH organization - after last year's Forsyth fire destroyed 15,000+ acres of beautiful ponderosa pine in June 2025.

We will stage at 295 Cliff Rose Circle (turn right at the Branding Iron Restaurant, then bear right on every turn thereafter until you arrive in a cul-de-sac where you'll see the Rotary sign) for a short program, information to guarantee the success of the planting ... and a photo because "it didn't happen if there's no picture." 

We will spend this glorious spring morning enjoying the clear blue sky and sunshine, getting better acquainted with current and new friends, socializing ... and of course, planting trees in honor of our nation's semiquincentennial (the 250th year) since the signing of America's Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776 - celebrated just 3 days into Rotary's 122nd year of doing good in our community and the world!  

Please bring gardening gloves, a small shovel, sunscreen and bottled water.   

Lunch will be served to all volunteers at the conclusion of the project, courtesy of St. George Rotary Club!!!

 

We will be pleased to hear from Neil Walter, Republican representative for Utah's House District 74, which covers the western part of Washington County, serving since January 2023. He will share the happenings in the recent legislative session.  Bring your neighbors, friends, co-workers ... and you questions!

NO LUNCHEON MEETING because we're celebrating Latin Appreciation Day 2026 and you're all invited.  We are expecting nothing less than a beautiful early spring afternoon as well as music, food trucks, and a few surprises as we celebrate this uniquely-SGR holiday at the South Pavilion at Tonaquint Park, adjacent to Thunder Junction.  Bring your family, friends and co-workers.  It's going to be lots of fun.

Whether you are posting flags at the St. George or Tonaquint cemeteries ... building stoves and latrines in Guatemala ... or picnicing with family and friends, enjoy you Memorial Day weekend while you take a minute or two to remember who serve and protect around the world!!!
