Brainstorming at its finest!







The past Thursday we plotted and planned, thought and thought, discussed and debated and we came up with a plan!

We used our time to work out the details of our participation in community service to the Ironman Competition on May 1st.

Just in case you have not heard, we will be staffing Aid Station #9 serving the competitors who are in the running phase of the race.

We need lots of help! Please plan to participate. In order to participate with us as a volunteer, please go to the Ironman St. George web site Ironmanstgeorge.com and register. When you get to the site click on volunteer and complete the form. In the comment section, indicate you wish to serve with Aid Station #9 manned by the Rotary Club of Dixie Sunrise. You will receive a confirmation and Paul Gooch, who is coordinating the service project, will also be notified of your registration.

Coming up next - Locke Ettinger of Dixie Regional Medical Center on the new Wellness Program and the Health and Performance Center.

See you then!
