An Education on The Rotary Foundation

We had a very educational and informative rotary meeting Thursday the 17th of November. It was our pleasure to hear from Errol Eernisse, who is a member of the Sugarhouse Rotary Club, and he reviewed the workings of the Rotary Foundation and where the money comes from and where it goes. The numbers are very impressive and here is an example, as of September 2010 there has been $248 million donated to the foundation. We have 1,304,583 Paul Harris Fellows, which benefits TRF as well. These donations are used for projects ranging from local, national, small international and large international. It is important that we as rotarians are supporting this foundation for the impact it is making in the world. Keep the money coming everybody.

We also had a member focus by Annette Basso. She has had a storied life and career in rotary and it was great to get to know her better and hear her cool stories. Thanks for being a member of our club Annette. We love having you with us.

Snow Canyon Ranger Station Welcomes Dixie Sunrise

This blogger was not at the Rotary meeting on the 10th of November so I can only speculate on what happened. I do know that we met at the Snow Canyon State Park Ranger Station for some education and enlightenment on the Park. Pictured here is a lovely young Park Ranger educating club members on the history of the park and the programs offered to park goers year round. What a great opportunity to experience a vocational excursion. Those who were absent really missed out. This blogger included.
