Utah Rotary District Governor Gil Trujillo will pay an official visit during the regular luncheon meeting of SGR on Monday, August 10. Members of the board will meet with the RDG for approximately an hour following the luncheon.

PROPOSED NEW MEMBERS: As membership continues to decline - there are currently 76 active members of SGR with 5 honorary members - President Ken noted he is pleased to announce the names of two prospective members. Gene Jones has been proposed for membership by Jeff Morby. Debbie Justice is proposed for membership by Linda Sappington. Any comments relating to this action may be referred to any member of the board.

PROGRAM: Linda Baker, Vice President and manager of the local office of Workers Compensation Fund, introduced David Brogley, WCF’s 13-year Senior Safety and Loss Consultant who shared tips on staying safe in the home and the workplace noting there are more than 27 million injury accidents a year in the U.S. resulting from poor safety choices. According to Brogley, "the pain and anguish of injury can be avoided with just a minute of thought." He also encouraged members of SGR to "be careful out there!"
