THE OPPORTUNITY & SUPPORT OF ROTARY OF SALT LAKE CITY IN OUR COMMUNITYMore than 120 youth “age out” of foster care in Utah every year (the majority of which are in the Salt Lake Region), meaning they are no longer in state custody. These young adults and other similarly at-risk populations, such as refugee orphans and those rescued from trafficking, are at high-risk for homelessness, substance abuse, and various other societal ills. The Salt Lake County Youth Services Milestone Living Program (MLP) assists in ending the cycle of homelessness and dependency by helping young adults become self-sufficient through access to safe housing, stable employment and connections to ongoing support and resources. Milestone Living Program currently serves up to 19 young adults at a time ages 18 to 21 who are experiencing homelessness in Salt Lake County. Since opening Milestone in 2012, 250 young adults have benefited. Salt Lake Rotary stepped up to raise funds to purchase a property to house an additional 18 individuals a year. The idea for the housing facility began more than four years ago, according to Spencer Ferguson, the president-elect of the Salt Lake Rotary Club, which partnered with the county to make it happen. Each unit includes three separate bedrooms and two shared bathrooms as well as a kitchen and living room. As residents move out of the facility, they will be given kits of basic items including dishes and utensils, bath linens, hygiene kids, bedding and cleaning supplies donated by community partners.

As third generation with the company, Paul and Jeff Young presented the beginnings of the company in Ogden Utah in 1920 as a single location by their grandfather Thomas Young Sr. and the growth through the years. .png)
They had Thomas Young Sr’s rotary badge. Tom was born in 1895 and passed away in 1971. His son Thomas Young Jr. is a member of our club. Thomas Young Sr. had to wait 20 years to join the Rotary Club in Salt Lake after having been a member in Ogden. .png)
They enjoyed the tour of YESCO’s 104,000 square foot facility on 16th South and Bangerter Highway and particularly enjoyed the time in the neon shop watching Dave Corey “blow” and create a neon tube over the neon ribbon fire. .png)

Steve Warner and his neighbors provided and served dinner at the VOA Homeless Youth Center on Wednesday March 13, 2019. They provided and served a full course meal that included shoyu chicken on rice, broccoli, green salad and brownies with vanilla ice cream, fruit juice and milk. The 47 teens they served devoured everything. The kids really look forward to Rotarian dinner night. They know our teams always provide a fabulous meal. Steve and his neighbors love doing this Rotary project and are looking forward to doing it again.

On January 9th, our Rotaract Club, with team captain Randi Jackson, served our January Meal to the Homeless Teen Center. We served approximately 60 clients. We served Pork Loin Roast, Cheesy potatoes (cooked by Randi’s Husband Tom), Vegetables, apple sauce, salad and mixed vegetables. One of the Rotaractors, Madison Putich, cooked home-made cookies for dessert. There was plenty of food and several of the kids came back for seconds. The Rotaractors all enjoyed the volunteer event and some indicated that it was the most enjoyable one they have done so far this year.

Salt Lake Rotarians Judy Fang, Amelia Larsen, Karmeen Kulkarni, Kyle Muir, Linda Kruse, Brian Berkelbach, Mark McCashland, and Teri Jensen had a great time serving dinner for the Lied Boys and Girls Club Holiday dinner. This is our 4th year serving the holiday meal. Teri's friends Corrine and Tony joined the group. Mark's wife Trudy came too. Thanks to Trudy's culinary skills, we served a fabulous gravy with turkey and mashed potatoes. Amelia also brought her friend Brandon Mendoza. When you volunteer for Rotary service projects it is nice to include friends. It gives others the opportunity to serve, and it helps spread the word about the work our club does. This dinner is always chaotic, and it is always fun. A few of us joined in with the dancing game. You might know it, when the music stops, FREEZE. Check out Kyle's dance moves. He was the last Rotarian standing. The Boys and Girls Club presented a brand new pair of shoes to all of the children. It was fun to watch the kids receive this special holiday gift. Amelia, Karmeen, and Kyle presented a check to SL Boys and Girls Club for $1000 on behalf of SL Rotary. Amelia took a few minutes to tell the Rotary story. The kids know this money goes directly back into their club and they responded with enthusiastic applause. Remember, SL Rotarians staff the Kids' Café on the third Wednesday of every month. We like to have three or four volunteers attend each dinner service. We have open slots for February and March. Please contact Teri Jensen at tjensen@upbslc.com if you'd like to sign up. A few Rotarians have asked about bringing kids to the volunteer events. This monthly dinner service is kid friendly.

Energetic Rotarians Judy Fang, John Eberhardt, Duane Hill, Bry Davis, Amelia Larsen, Jan Stucki, Bob Huefner, and Teri Jensen had a great time with the YWCA Domestic Violence Shelter preschool play group. This was our first time in the gym - it was definitely a work out. We wish we could show you pictures of these precious children. Their hugs and smiles are worth so much. Keep in mind these children are in the shelter with mothers who have run for their lives to escape domestic violence. One of our newest Rotarians, Amelia Larson, presented a check for $1000 to the shelter on behalf of Club #24.

served. Large portions were provided to all participants as they went through the line. One recipient said, "This is the best gravy I've had in ten years, but don't tell my mom." Rotarians who participated where Mark McCashland, John Ashby, Ross Youngberg who were also supported by their wives. Others Rotarians who participated were Joshua Creer, Mike Gregory and two colleagues of Mark's - Lynn Erekson and Richard Hair who helped peel potatoes before they had to leave.

Thanks for all those who planned and participated in this event. If you haven't participated in this activity yet, talk with Terri Jensen and find out when you can join other Rotarians in this fun event.

Lindsey Welker, Thomas Welker, Corrinne Horton, Rhonda Day, Jay McMillan,
and Lacey Poulsen for our club's monthly dinner service. This time we
were invited provide and prepare a fancy dinner for the VOA Homeless Youth

non-profit group provided formal wear, make overs, and a photo booth.
This was an exceptional night. I've never seen this group of young adults
have so much fun.

About 50 homeless teens were served dinner on September 12 at the Volunteers of America Teen Shelter. The teens, from across the country but now living in Utah, were most appreciative. Honey-baked hams, potatoes au gratin, broccoli, green salad, milk and cookies were the fare of the day. They seemed to love it because most came back for more...especially the potatoes. Those who served were Steve and Deb Whipple, Ray and Anne Price, Rich and Sylvia Mucha, Morris Linton, Rich and Teresa McIntosh, and Steve and Liz Warner. A fabulous time was had by all. The kitchen is so well equipped that it is a pleasure to serve meals at the VOA facility. The young people were polite and freely expressed gratitude for the meal. One young man yelled 'God Bless You Volunteers' as he waved goodbye.

Club 24 member, past Club 24 President, and District Governor 2018-2019 Scott Leckman was recently acknowledged by his Utah peers in their monthly publication, “Utah Physician”.
A 2-page article in the Dec/Jan publication compliments Scott for his volunteer work with Rotary International highlighting the time and financial contributions he has made towards the eradication of polio throughout the world.
Many in our club have travelled to India with Scott and experienced the joy of helping to eliminate polio in the lives of the young citizens of the country. Thank you to our soon-to-be, “Governor Scott” for all you do!!

The Youth in Crisis Committee received tremendous club wide support for
the annual Lied Boys' and Girls' Club Holiday Dinner. Rotarians Jim
Schwing, Teri Jensen, Devin Thorpe, Brett Sutherland, Randi Jackson, Brian
Berkelbach, Raymond Tymas-Jones, and Mark McCashland were joined by
Mark's wife Trudy, Brett's wife Tina, Randi's husband Tom, and Teri's
coworker Mike Salazar. We served a delicious holiday dinner to the kids
and their families. Marv Marcus showed us the way a few years ago. We
channeled our "inner Marv" and provided table service. This event is
chaotic and noisy, so full of holiday joy. I am not certain how many
people we actually served this year. I'm guessing 100, but it is only a
guess.
Club President Brett Sutherland, Mark McCashland, and Teri Jensen
presented a $1000 donation to Boys' and Girls' Clubs on behalf of SL
Rotary Foundation. We had a lot of fun and can't wait until next year.
Thank you to Club #24 Rotarians who've stepped up to fill so many
volunteer slots with the YIC Committee. Our club is really about service.

Third District Juvenile Court’s Village Project, Boy Scouts of America and SL Rotary Club recently teamed up to provide youth with the opportunity to attend a four-week course intended to introduce them to different career options. The Career Exploring Program operates under the umbrella of the BSA’s Learning for Life’s Career Explorer Education. The course was tailored specifically for youth in the Third District Juvenile Court who receive referrals, transportation to and from career site visits and credit toward community service hours. SL Rotary is the charter partner which helps with providing volunteers and financial and educational resources. Rotarian Mark McCashland was one of the career presenters in September and talked with them about resume’s and being prepared to talk about themselves. Other post site visits included: Aviation, food services, media and communications, metallurgical testing and health services. Explorers were also taught how to access their high school technology programs and how to apply for free education programs at SLCC. The feedback from the Exploring post members is very good. These youth are seeing new opportunities that can make their lives so much better. If you are interested in helping our Exploring Post or being a presenter please contact member of the SL Rotary Youth in Crisis committee.

On September 28, 2017 Jim Schwing and Bry Davis presented Jennifer Nuttall, Executive Director of the Neighborhood House a Rotary club gift of $1,000.00. The partnership has been going now for many years. The Neighborhood House provides support to low-income families who need quality, affordable day care services. The Club's gift helps provide fee assistance to the Children's programs and Adult Day services especially to those who are need, regardless of their ability to pay. In 2016, Neighborhood House provided 55,963 days of care to 551 children and adults. 93% of families in the children's program are low-income, with an average household income of less than $25,750 for a family of four. Many are also single parent households. Our many thanks to the board and staff at the Neighborhood House for providing a quality program to many families in need. A special thanks to all SL Rotarians who help over 10,000 lives in our community.

Youth in Crisis Committee members Bob Huefner, Randi Jackson, Jim Schwing, and Teri Jensen were joined by fellow Rotarian Devin Thorpe for a fun filled hour of play at the YWCA Domestic Violence Shelter Preschool. Bob, who inspired our committee's involvement with the YWCA, presented a $1000 check on behalf of the SL Rotary Foundation. Teri's coworker, Amanda Kiisel, joined the fun. She's volunteered for several of our service events over the past year. This has led her to an internship with the Domestic Violence shelter. She'll start in January working in their before and after school program as she completes her degree. We can't show you faces, but believe us when we tell you how much love these kids give. Although it wasn't Bob's birthday one child insisted on giving him a party complete with a play dough cake and, of course, the Happy Birthday song. I'm surprised Devin and Jim can still walk after all of the piggy back rides. I lost count. These two make fabulous horses. Our next play group is scheduled for November 16th. It is a great way to spend your lunch hour. If you would like to volunteer, please contact Teri at tjensen@upbslc.com.

One of the best things about being a Rotarian is having the opportunity to serve others. The Youth in Crisis committee has three recurring projects: Homeless Youth Resource Center dinner service, Lied Boys and Girls Club dinner service, and YWCA domestic violence pre-school play group. We've had tremendous club wide support for all of these projects. We've also taken the opportunity to invite non-Rotarians to join us. We've had friends, co-workers, religious groups, and students join with us to serve the youth in our city. This month UPB employees Jacob Slone, Lindsey Welker, James Blundell, Leigh Wright, and Leigh's husband, Bobby, joined Rotarian Teri Jensen for Club #24's monthly homeless teen dinner. The team provided, prepared, and served a fabulous baked chicken dinner. It is always such a fun night. If you'd like to volunteer for one of these recurring projects, please contact Teri Jensen at tjensen@upbslc.com. Club #24 provides and serves dinner for the Homeless Teen Resource Center on the second Wednesday of every month. We also serve dinner for the Lied Boys and Girls Club on the third Wednesday of every month. The YWCA lunch hour play group is schedule for every other month. If you want to invite friends or family to join us, please do. Service improves lives.

In 1994 the Batwa were evicted from the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest when it was made a World Heritage Site to protect the endangered mountain gorillas. The Batwa were given no land or other compensation and became conservation refugees. Initial studies
indicated a life expectancy was only to the age of 28 and an annual income of $25. Over the years, thanks to the generosity of Rotary International, a 130 bed award winning hospital has been constructed, 130 homes built, a water and sanitation project
completed and now the first nurses have graduated from the school of nursing. Rotary International’s involvement at the Bwindi has improved the lives of tens of thousands of individuals and given them a life of dignity.

As the cost of higher education significantly outstrips inflation, Universities strive to maintain access for talented students from all backgrounds, and ensure that those who begin college are able to stay in school through degree completion. The U focuses on offering high value – the intersection of quality and affordability – in the student experience. We will highlight national trends and the ways in which the U is outperforming many peer institutions in advancing quality while maintaining affordability. Video from today's presentation:
