District 5420 Newsletter - June 2025

What an incredible

Rotary year we’ve had!

Hello Rotarians,

Thanks to your dedication and the leadership of your club presidents, #UtahRotary has truly distinguished itself as one of the premier Rotary Districts in the world. As we enter the final weeks of the 2024-25 Rotary year, I’m thrilled to share some of the remarkable achievements we’ve accomplished together.

President-Elect Training Seminar (PETS). In February, 43 out of 45 Rotary presidents attended High Country PETS—marking the highest in-person attendance rate at a Presidents-Elect Training Seminar in many years! This event masterfully blended learning with fellowship, setting the tone for a fantastic year.

Membership. At PETS, our club presidents enthusiastically embraced the 2025 by 2025 Membership Challenge Campaign. This ambitious goal seeks to grow our membership to 2,025 members by June 15, 2025. As of now, our District has already welcomed 60 new members! If we maintain this trajectory, it will be the largest single-year membership growth since 2015 — an outstanding milestone! 

2025 by 2025 Membership Challenge. A total of 284 Rotarians across the District have committed to the challenge of bringing one new member into Rotary by June 20, 2025. This collective effort demonstrates the power of teamwork and dedication within #UtahRotary.

District Assembly. This year’s District Assembly drew 196 Rotarian leaders from 42 of Utah’s 45 Rotary clubs — an attendance record in the history of our District! This gathering of passionate leaders showcases the strength and unity of #UtahRotary.

Presidents & Governor’s Induction. Our Rotary District Governor induction celebration was nothing short of spectacular! With 30 presidents in attendance and 38 clubs represented, the sold-out event was a lively, festive occasion that received glowing reviews. It was the perfect way to kick off the new Rotary year with enthusiasm and camaraderie.

District Conference. In September, #UtahRotary hosted its groundbreaking first Rotary Conference held at the beginning of the Rotary year rather than the end. This sold-out event was a resounding success, setting new records as the best-attended District Conference in the modern era. An incredible 265 individuals registered with an astonishing 252 attendees actively participating. The visionary combined event was jointly hosted by Governor John Redd and me in the stunning Hunter Alumni Center on the picturesque campus of Southern Utah University. The RYLA-inspired conference format received rave reviews, showcasing the brilliance of the organizers and participants alike. Additionally, the District generously distributed more than $10,000 to Rotary clubs, empowering them to achieve even more extraordinary acts of goodness in the world.

Governor’s Visits. As District Governor, I embarked on an epic journey visiting all 45 Rotary clubs during the 2024-2025 Rotary year. The previous year, I traveled alongside Governor Redd during his visits, building a profound understanding of the District before assuming the esteemed role of District Governor. Over the course of two years, I have traveled more than 24,000 miles, crisscrossing the state, to deliver my message of the Power of We. Working hand-in-hand with our remarkably dedicated club presidents, we have continued to fortify and elevate #UtahRotary’s impact and legacy.

Rotary Scarves and Ties for New Paul Harris Society Members. During my visits to the clubs, I issued the invitation to join the Paul Harris Society - 43 Rotarians made the commitment to become a PHS member. Each received a scarf or tie in thanks.

The Polio Trailer. With its brilliant makeover, the Polio Trailer has become an eye-catching, iconic traveling billboard, effectively promoting #UtahRotary wherever it goes. The trailer has made 14 appearances at club events over the past 12 months, demonstrating its unparalleled ability to captivate and inspire all who see it.

Website. After two years of struggling with a non-functioning website, #UtahRotary has finally made great strides in updating and gathering information. We are close to having an all-encompassing website with a landing page where you can find anything you need -- calendar, information on grants, applications, forms, youth, Rotaract events, ZOOM meetings for membership, public imaging, area governors and foundation, photos and MORE. Check it out! https://www.utahrotary.org/

Monthly Public Image Meetings and Monthly Membership Meetings. In an effort to help clubs with their goals, #UtahRotary District Chairs scheduled monthly meetings where collaboration, instruction, and ideas were exchanged.

The Creation of the Utah Rotary Foundation. #UtahRotary has long operated as a 501(c)(4) entity under IRS regulations. This year, the District achieved a transformational breakthrough by successfully attaining charitable tax status. This monumental accomplishment allows Utah Rotary to solicit funds from supporters and Rotarians, while enabling these generous contributors to enjoy tax-deductible benefits for their gifts. This advancement opens new doors to a broader array of contributions from organizations and individuals, unlocking the potential for #UtahRotary to deliver even greater impact and goodness in the world.

All-Clubs Foundation Gala. At this event in May more than 200 Paul Harris Fellow Awards were distributed — a record-breaking achievement in the history of District 5420. The recipients represent the very heart and soul of #UtahRotary, embodying the most steadfast and passionate supporters of both #UtahRotary and the Rotary Foundation. Heartfelt congratulations to each recipient for their extraordinary contributions and commitment.

Congratulations and heartfelt thanks to each of you for your dedication, hard work, and passion for Rotary. Together, we’re making history and shaping a brighter future for #UtahRotary. Let’s finish this Rotary year strong and continue to inspire positive change in our communities and beyond!

#UtahRotary is on Fire

A record-breaking membership year in the making!

#UtahRotary is on the verge of an historic achievement, thanks to the unwavering dedication and passion of its 45 Rotary presidents and clubs! The latest numbers speak volumes — 60 new members have joined the ranks, marking the largest membership surge in the district since 2015, when the year finished up at 61 net new members.

This momentum is more than just a number — it's a movement, a force for good that is expanding our reach and amplifying our impact.

Congratulations go to Deputy Lieutenant Governor Patrick Casaday and the nine clubs in his region for winning the Third Quarter Membership Award. They are up 18%!  

1. Lehi Rotary Club
2. Multicultural Rotary Club
3. Orem-Lindon Rotary Club
4. Provo Rotary Club
5. Sandy Rotary Club
6. South Jordan Rotary Club
7. South Valley Rotary Club
8. Spanish Fork Rotary Club
9. Springdale Rotary Club

We’re not done yet! Let’s harness this energy, keep the momentum soaring, and bring even more people into Rotary. More hands mean more hearts working together to create lasting change in our communities and beyond. We'll rise to the challenge, inspire others to join the mission, and make this year truly one for the record books.

#UtahRotary All-Clubs Foundation Gala

A night of celebration and impact!

What a remarkable evening it was! Governor Todd and his 45 dedicated Rotary Presidents hosted a sold-out Foundation Gala at the beautiful Karen Gail Miller Conference Center in Sandy—a gathering that embodied the spirit of service, camaraderie, and transformation.

The event was nothing short of a triumph, with 225 passionate Rotarians in attendance, each contributing to the magic of the night. And the feedback? A resounding endorsement of the dedication and effort that made this evening special! On a scale of 1 to 5, the ratings spoke volumes:

• Punctuality on point: The event started on time (4.45) and ended on time (4.47).
• Delicious dining: Guests thoroughly enjoyed the meal, giving it a strong 4.14.
• Master of Ceremony’s excellence: A solid 4.14 for keeping the night flowing seamlessly.
• Heartfelt tributes: Honoring Governor Boyer’s team (4.33) and celebrating 200 Paul Harris Fellow recipients (4.16) were fitting moments of recognition.
• Shining a light on great leaders: Egor Shulman, Lola Beatlebrox, and Jim and Karen Charnholm received heartfelt acknowledgments (4.48).
• Governor’s remarks: Both inspiring and informative, earning a powerful 4.30.
• Entertainment that lifted spirits: The FUSE band kept the energy high with a rating of 4.13.
• Worth every penny: Attendees found the cost of the event to be reasonable (4.26).

Beyond the numbers, the energy in the room was electric, filled with laughter, connection, and a shared commitment to making a difference. Some of the glowing attendee feedback included:

• “Great food and a great night!”
• “I love doing the pledge, prayer, and 4-Way Test.”
• “Great event! We had 13 from our club there, which says a lot.”
• “The band was awesome!”

Of course, in the spirit of growth and refinement, a few suggestions surfaced:

• Some wished the band’s volume was a bit lower to allow for easier conversation.
• A few felt printed materials could include more details on classifications.
• A happy hour beforehand could allow for extra mingling before the official start.

To everyone who attended—you made this night extraordinary. Your presence, enthusiasm, and dedication ensured this gala was a resounding success. Thank you for showing up, celebrating, and carrying forward the legacy of Rotary’s impact.

Here’s to another unforgettable year ahead!

Some special Rotarians were honored at the All-Clubs Gala May 10th

Egor Shulman was awarded the Citation of Meritorious Service, in recognition of his service to the Foundation through its committees, grants, programs and Peace Fellows. Egor’s commitment, enthusiasm & passion is evident in both his word and deed.

Lola Beatlebrox has been an incredible newsletter editor for #UtahRotary for a number of years. She is a joy to work with and a delight to be around. Lola’s exceptional creativity, service, and attention to detail produces an outstanding newsletter month after month.

Jim and Karen Charnholm were recognized for going Above and Beyond. Their passion for Rotary extends beyond their local community, as they actively participate in international projects as well. Jim and Karen generously give of their time and money in their continuing commitment to make a positive impact wherever they can.

They're Back! Rotary License Plates!

Announcing the best news ever – Rotary Humanitarian License Plates are available and YOU can have one – or TWO for both your vehicles. Not to mention RVs and commercial vehicles, too!

Money raised from Rotary license plate sales directly supports Rotary Youth programs – RYLA, Youth Exchange, Interact and Rotaract. Moreover, the legislature supports fundraising programs like ours by requiring (by law) that Rotary Humanitarian License Plates demonstrate their popularity by generating at least 500 participating donors.

We already have about 200 Rotary License Plate owners who pay $25 annually to support Rotary Youth. We need 300 more proud Rotary license plates cruising around the glorious state of Utah within the next seven months.

If every Rotarian orders a Humanitarian license plate now – we’ll achieve our goal!

To order yours, get the last four digits of your VIN number, your current license plate number, and your credit card, then click here https://dmv.utah.gov/plates/license-plates/humanitarian/

A picture of the Rotary plate should pop up. The DMV will assign you a new license number. If you want, you can choose to customize the plate with your own 5 letter/number “message.” If it’s already taken, you’ll be prompted to submit a different message. For either choice, you'll be charged $25 and regular DMV fees the first time.

There’s a lot of pent-up demand in our district for Humanitarian Rotary License Plates! So hurry. Get yours today!

When you go touring this summer, check out these Rotary parks, monuments, town entrances, and landmarks.

Cherie and I travel a lot. We see Rotary parks, peace poles, monuments celebrating 100 years of Rotary, monuments at the entrances of smaller towns created by the Rotary club for their town. Bountiful's recent Veterans Park is an example.

Park City’s three clubs have created a lushly green park with a pavilion for barbecues and weddings that anyone can use, not just Park City's three Rotary clubs. Park City Sunrise Rotary installed a Geological Park which elementary and high school students visit to learn about geological evolution of the area.

Quite a number of Utah clubs have done similar things. Here’s the story of the Murray Rotary Club’s brand new Rotary Corner.

How Murray's city center corner became the town's "Rotary Corner"

Bruce Parsons was the Murray Rotary Club’s first president in 1957. He was district governor in 1984-1985. He attended Rotary routinely until he died.

Before he passed, he donated $25,000 to help our club do something of value on the new Murray City Center block. Murray City suggested the Murray Rotary Club create a Rotary Corner, as they called it, with a tall pole clock and two benches.

Clock and benches were installed in time for the dedication of the Murray Museum on the corner of the City Center block. On the base of the clock are four plaques — a tribute to Murray citizen extraordinaire Bruce Parsons, a tribute to Murray Rotary, the 4-Way Test, and Service Above Self.

West Jordan Rotary Field of Dreams 

Each year, the West Jordan Rotary Club pours heart and effort into an incredible mission: ensuring that the Field of Dreams baseball facility remains a safe and welcoming place for children with disabilities to experience the joy of America's pastime.

This annual service project has become a beacon of hope, uniting volunteers and communities in a shared commitment to inclusion and opportunity. 

Located in West Jordan City Park, also known as Veteran Park, at 1985 W 7800 S, West Jordan, this field serves as a powerful reminder that sports can transcend barriers and bring people together. 



Families from across Utah — stretching from Logan in the north to Spanish Fork and Payson in the south — gather at the SME Steel Field to participate in league play under Salt Lake County Recreation’s Miracle League, an inspiring program dedicated to making baseball accessible to all.

St. George International Service Project in Guatamala

This Memorial Day, 18 members and friends of the St. George Rotary Club traveled to Guatemala to build 120 cinderblock stoves in Maya villages. These simple, vented, stoves prevent premature death from burns and smoke inhalation due to open fires in village homes.

Last year, our Guatemala Stoves Project was recognized as District 5420’s “Best Club Service Project of the Year.” Started 18-years ago, St. George Rotary Club’s project has installed 3,300 stoves to date at the cost of about $200 each.

St. George Rotary used to receive Global Grants from Rotary International, but since the Foundation discontinued funding stoves, funds must be raised by the club. Many thanks to the Cedar City Rotary Club and the Rotary Club of Oxford, Ohio, for their funding of this year’s project along with the generosity of St. George club members and community friends.

Giving their time and necessities

The suitcases of our club members and friends were packed school supplies, vitamins donated by new St. George members, toys from the Cedar City Happy Factory, knit caps from St. George area residents and hundreds of pounds of dry beans to share with Maya villagers.

Are you or your club willing to fund one … or ten … or 100 stoves to save countless lives, especially of women and children? Please help us out. We're going again next year. You are also invited to join us next year in this “incredibly beautiful and incredibly poor” part of Central America. We have a wonderful time. For more information, go to stgeorgerotary.org.

Musings and Actions

Memories & a tribute to Brent Parkin

WOW! Forty years ago this month my neighbor invited me to a Rotary meeting. I was surrounded by people I knew and respected.

Joining Rotary has changed my life, brought new friendships, increased my knowledge, given me opportunities to serve that I did not know existed, and through the Rotary Foundation, literally helped hundreds.

I have met and worked with Rotarians from dozens of countries, I believe this has made a significant difference.

This coming Rotary year we will see many examples of what a difference one can make. In our District there are lots of Rotarians actively making a difference. One is Brent Parkin. A goal of our District Governor this year has been to increase membership. He has encouraged each of us to bring in one new member.

Brent is an amazing Rotarian. Talk about the POWER OF ONE!  Brent has brought in 44 new members into Rotary over the years. With two more this year and FIVE more in the works, can you imagine the good that his efforts make! Amazing!

I have fulfilled my commitment to bring one new member into Rotary this year. I'm excited to see how he will change my club and the world! Not quite the same as Brent, but I have also contributed generously to the Rotary Foundation and I know what is being done with those funds.

We each have talents and abilities. Will you be the one to make a difference with yours?

District Foundation Chair

Democracy in Action

Every three years, Rotarians elected to represent their Rotary District gather in Chicago to review and vote on legislation proposed by clubs for governing Rotary International (RI). This global assembly of representatives is known as the Council on Legislation—the legislative body of RI.

To amend the RI Constitution, a two-thirds majority vote of the Council is required, while all other proposed changes need only a simple majority to pass.

At this year’s Council, representatives from 511 of the 530 Rotary Districts participated. Serving on the Council requires having previously held the role of District Governor. I was honored to serve, having been elected by the same selection committee responsible for selecting the Governor-elect Nominee.

For a full list of legislation presented at the April 2025 Council—including proposals submitted by Clubs and my votes on behalf of #UtahRotary District 5420—please click here.

It was a privilege to represent and serve you.

Time is running out for End-of-Year Giving

Double down on giving to the Rotary Foundation before June 15! 

Many clubs set annual goals for giving as does the district. As of May 21, our total annual fund giving is $244,756. But in the past, our district has averaged contributions of $300,000 plus the last 3-4 years. We can do better. I am optimistic that as a district we can reach $400,000 or higher this year!

The importance of the Paul Harris Society (PHS)

Paul Harris Society members make up nearly half of all contributions to the Rotary Foundation every year. As of now, we have 248 PHS members but only116 have met their annual commitment of giving at least $1,000.

If you are a Paul Harris Society member and have not made your $1,000 contribution, please do so by June 15.

If you are not a member, please consider joining or at least contributing $100 to the annual fund. Our goal is Every Rotarian a Sustaining Member!

To all clubs and members who have already given this year, THANK YOU!

If you’re still planning on giving, please make contributions by June 15 to ensure they’re credited this year.

Finally, if you’ve not yet signed up for Rotary Direct, it’s an easy way to make recurring donations without having to think about it. https://my.rotary.org/en/rotary-direct

Thanks for all you do!

Polio Plus donations - Needed more than ever

We, as Rotarians, have been focused on the eradication of Polio since 1978, and our work is not over. We have two countries left that we cannot declare “Polio free.” Until those words are said, we fight on. 



Polio left Isiaku Musa Maaji disabled with few ways to make a living. At age 24, he learned to build hand-operated tricycles designed to provide mobility for disabled adults and children, and later started his own business assembling them.

His first break came, he says, when a local government placed a trial order. The government was impressed with his product and the orders continued. Rotary’s Nigeria PolioPlus Committee recently ordered 150 tricycles from Isiaku Musa Maaji to distribute to polio survivors and others with mobility problems.

The relationship he has built with local Rotarians has motivated him to take part in door-to-door polio vaccination campaigns. “It is not easy to be physically challenged,” he says. “I go out to educate other people on the importance of polio vaccine because I don’t want any other person to fall victim to polio.”

Recent articles are surfacing about probable US budget cuts to our partners UNICEF and USAID. We as Rotarians must make sure our contributions will be there if those cuts happen.

Youth Exchange students experience Brigham City.

This month our youth exchange students were hosted by the Brigham City Club for a weekend of adventure. They got to join in the club’s birding activities at the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge and learn about the interesting birds that stop in Utah or call Utah home.

We also took them to Golden Spike National Historical Park where they learned about the completion of the trans-continental railroad. It just so happened it was the 158th anniversary of the event, so there were a lot of festivities.

Then we went out to the Spiral Jetty at the Great Salt Lake. We were surprised to see that the lake was pink, due to algae blooms. It made the experience even more interesting. The kids enjoyed running around in the salt water and tasting it. Unfortunately, we didn’t bring swimming suits and no one wanted to attempt floating without them. But it was amazing to see how stiff our clothes got, simply from splashing in the salt water.

 Lastly, we took them to the Northrop Grumman Rocket Garden. A big thanks to Randy Christensen and the Brigham City club for organizing these activities.
