The 1.4 million members of Rotary International in 220 countries channel their commitment to helping the community and the world through five Avenues of Service including club, community, youth, international and vocational.
“Vocational service” calls on all Rotarians to exemplify integrity while contributing their skills, talents and expertise to address problems and needs in society. Whenever possible, Rotarians also look for ways to support those trying to become self-sufficient.
With those goals in mind, the committee for this year’s St. George Rotary Club “Rev’d Up for Rotary” car show on Saturday, Sept. 6 at Red Cliffs is focusing their efforts on raising money for scholarships at Dixie Technical College.
The car show’s major sponsor is, once again O’Reilly Auto Parts, a solid and consistent partner in support of Rotary initiatives. Also sponsoring this annual event are White Crow Real Estate, State Bank of Southern Utah; Callister Kleening, The Farm in Hurricane; Great Harvest Bread Company; Naylor Wentworth Lund Architects; Yogi Snow and Treats; Zeppe’s Italian Ice and Frozen Custard; Bank of Utah; Allen Young Law Partners; and Dixie Tech.
St. George Rotary Club and Dixie Technical College have an interesting commonality … confusion relating to the name of both organizations.
Dixie Tech – not to be confused with Utah Tech – is the centerpiece of the community’s newly emerging business center known as Tech Ridge. Dixie Tech provides students with essential training to master any of 25 hands-on skills. These are skills they can take directly into the workforce within one year, enabling them to support their families, strengthen the community, and contribute to local industry while advancing their careers.
St. George Rotary – not to be confused with St. George Sunrise Rotary – is host to the “Rev’d Up for Rotary” car show, one of this club’s numerous “service above self” projects in the community and the world, including distributing paperback dictionaries to 3rd graders in 18 local elementary schools. SGR also provides Christmas to nearly 100 children living in the tribal community of Halchita on Utah’s southeast border of the Navajo Nation. In 18 years, St. George Rotary has funded and built more than 3500 safely vented, cinderblock stoves for Maya villagers in Guatemala, who for generations have cooked and warmed their homes with open fires in the middle of their living quarters and are known to be some of the most impoverished people in the world.
St. George Rotary, one of 36,000 such clubs around the world, is also a strong supporter of Rotary International’s effort to eradicate polio from the earth – finally and forever – an effort which began in 1979 as a multi-year project in the Philippines.
Rotary is a global network of neighbors, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change.
