OPENING: On Monday, June 22, Bob Bramlage, SGR’s Sergeant-at-Arms, greeted Rotarians and other visitors to the 3747th regular weekly meeting of St. George Rotary. Ray Robinson lead the SGR Choir in a rousing version of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame." Phil Hall invited members to follow him in the Pledge of Allegiance and West Martin asked for the blessings of heaven on the meeting and the meal. Shar Heitkotter conducted a high energy Horseplay with fines collected by Richard Brown on behalf of the Guatemalan stove project.
PROGRAM: President Jeff expressed his appreciation to Dixie State College for their willingness to partner with SGR and the Dixie Rotary Bowl foundation. Coach Ron Hahn, head coach for DSC Football Team expressed appreciation to Ali Threet and Vasu Mudliar, new President of the Dixie Athletic Booster Club and elaborated enthusiastically on the upcoming football season with six away and five home games. There is great spirit, great tailgating party, loud support for the students, and the fans are great. This should be an exciting season with 12 local players and 20 transfers though donations have dipped and each away game costs $40,000. Brochures and schedules were distributed to Rotarians with an invitation to join Dixie Spirit with a package including dinner at the Golden Corral and football tickets. Dixie Spirit involves the community in support of DSC students and student athletes. The college representatives also noted the success of other athletic programs including men and women’s basketball with 60 local kids on teams and women’s soccer which team placed 2nd in All American Conference.
