On Friday, May 6, 2016, at the recent statewide conference of Rotary District 5420 in Cedar City, SGR's Linda Sappington was named 2015-16 Utah Rotarian of the Year by District Governor Glade Hamilton. This recognition, according to DG Glade was for "outstanding efforts in creating an exemplary District newsletter and for helping to build District 5420's Public Image in each of 50 Utah clubs, in the district and in the world." Linda's reaction? "I was so surprised, I was speechless and nearly fell off my chair when my name was called. Not sure what I did to deserve this honor, but I am humbled because there are more than 1800 Rotarians in the state … most who have done amazing, remarkable things and deserve this recognition far more than I."
Also recognized, Del Beatty of the Red Rock Rotary Club was the recipient of this year's Vocational Service Leadership Award, given annually to a single Rotarian who has used his or her occupation to impact the community, demonstrate integrity in his or her profession and in Rotary and exhibited significant service to undertaking several club or district activities.
Red Rock Rotary Club was selected from the state's 50 clubs as RI District 5420's Club of the Year. The 32-member club of community and business leaders was chartered in 2003 and place a strong emphasis on service projects to support, in particular, local youth. Under the direction of 2015-16 President Scott Florence, Red Rock Rotary fulfilled all requirements - including membership growth, creating definable positive change in the community and enhancing public image - to receive the District Governor's Gold Citation and the RI President's Gold Citation.
