The food bagging and food drives in Washington City and St. George continue to fill a food need in our communities. We were assisted by many volunteers from our St George Sunrise Rotary club, Veterans Rotary Club ,Sun River, other church and community members. We had over 80 volunteers during the three days and packed up 3,500 bags of food. We offer our appreciation to the Utah Food Bank for organizing these events.
On Saturday June 25, 2022 Dixie Sunrise Rotary Club held its quarterly road clean-up on a 3 mile stretch of Dixie Drive between Tonaquint Park and Valley View Drive. Our club had 16 volunteers and were aided by 8 hiking club members. All of the volunteers had a bit of fun, got some good exercies and pick up a load of trash along the street. We then headed over to Dede's for breakfast for the last time. Dede is retiring and closing the restaurant. Great breakfast and we all wished Dede good health and safe travels during her retirement years.
On Saturday morning, June 25th, a small group of volunteers from the Rotary Club of Dixie Sunrise and the St. George Veterans Rotary Club assisted Don Page of Tru Touch Home Repair with building an awning at P.A.W.S. animal shelter.
8 Rotarians from Dixie Sunrise Rotary Club, Red Rock Rotary Club and the Veteran's Satellite Club judged 26 entries in the Sunset School Annual Science Fair. Students from Kindergarden through 5th grade presented their projects in both science and engineering categories. Each Rotarian recieved 7-8 of the projects so that each project had 4-5 judges interview them in front of their projects. Science projects included how to make chocolate chip cookies chewier, how fast a white rose changes colors when the stem is placed in colored water, to how many pieces of cardboard between two like magnets could be placed until the magnets couldn't keep them together. Engineering projects included the construction of an object launcher. 8 Rotarians x 2 hours = 16 volunteer hours.
Our Club montly clean up at Snow Canyon was enhanced today with 30 students and their instructor from Dixie State's Environmental writing class to assist with the project. Kristen Comells who is with Snow Canyon met with the students, reinforced the need to keep the illegal trails from forming in the tortise habitat. The day was spent spreading rock over existing illegal trails and installing steel pipe for the new signage that is on order. The students found a tortise which made their day so impactful. Total hours: 71
The food donation total was 4,250 bags. 2640 bags for the 2 mobile drives plus 860 perishable bags of potatoes and apples and 750 bags for the school pantries.
The two day combined food drive, and one day food bagging fed about 850 people due to the ongoing efforts of 110 volunteers with 400 volunteer hours. We bagged 5,000 bags of food for distribution.
