DHS Madrigals provide SGR with a Valentines treat

OPENING: Don Pendleton offered Valentine's day greetings to Rotarians, their spouses, and guests as they arrived. A special Valentine's musical presentation by the Dixie High School Madrigal Choir directed by Sheryl Snow (Lowry) provided enjoyment to start the meeting. Following their performance, Eldon McArthur led members in a recitation of Rotary’s 4-Way Test. Reed Noble invited members to follow him in the Pledge of Allegiance and Lee Sheets asked for the blessings of heaven on the meeting and the meal.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: For members who have lost their Rotary pin, replacements are available for $5.00. See Richard Isom to get your replacement. George Whitehead from Dixie State made presentation about the 24th Annual Sears Dixie Invitational Art Show and Sale to be held starting February18 through March 27 with Gala dinner on Friday Feb. 18. Two lucky Rotarians, Steve Radmall and Richard Isom, won Giclee prints of past purchase prize winners. [More Information]

CLUB BUSINESS: Two new members were inducted. Welcome to Greggory Zemp and Clayton Denos.

PROGRAM: Barbara and Gary Kermott from the Silver Spur Therapuetic Riding Center opening in April in New Harmony educated Rotarians about the center and how it provides help to people with disabilities. They pointed to the unique motions of horseback riding that help participants develop core body strength. Their center is the only NARHA certified facility in southern Utah and one of only four in Utah. It is a non-profit facility and one of their needs is for volunteers. They noted that it usually takes three trained volunteers per horse. They keep the cost to participants low but do have a small fee to promote the participants valuing the experience. Sessions are 6 or 8 weeks each for 1 hour per week.
