Welcome to the BLOG of the Rotary Club of Dixie Sunrise! Last week we had our 667th meeting all time meeting and the 22nd meeting of this year.
This week we were – with visions of many aches and pains – educated about the newest St. George major event the Ironman! On May 1st of 2010, St. George will debut the 7th venue for Ironman in the U.S. This event has so much potential that 750 tickets were sold with the introductory announcement.
Kevin Lewis, event coordinator working with St. George City and Jeff Gardner, an event survivor gave us an insider’s view of the event which is slated to bring 10,000 people to St. George next spring. With 2,500 participants – the event is fully sold out – our economy should see a positive bottom line from this. And, the even will donate up to $50,000 to local charities. Rotary has jumped in to help, so we could share in this donation!
Our event will be extremely unique and should grow each year because of the very unique terrain over which the event – of swim, bike and run – is staged. Most, such as Florida’s Ironman run on flat ground. Not here! Elevation everywhere!
For more information go to ironmanstgeorge.com.
Next week, Christmas Feast! 6:30 p.m. Grab your best guest and join us for an evening with friends, good food, and GREAT entertainment.
Remember your gift bags!
