SL Club’s International Committee / Sustainable Cambodia
Our club’s International Committee is led by Dr. Tim LaPine. Tim is neonatologist physician, specializing in treating newborns, especially those born prematurely. I’ve known Tim since grade school. He is an amazing person, friend, humanitarian, and club Rotarian. The committee is involved in many international projects in developing countries: Uganda, Morocco, South America, Nepal, and Cambodia; the list goes on.
Our club's International Committee fosters international relations and promotes self-help opportunities in developing countries in partnership with in-country Rotary clubs and other NGO's throughout the world.
During this holiday season members of the club took part in multiple meaningful and caring events that made the lives of many brighter, this holiday season.
Thanks go out to everyone who participated in the Sub for Santa, Salvation Army Bell Ringing, The Milestone Housing Project for Teens, and the Rotary Youth Exchange. The generosity and kindness of the members of Rotary Club of Salt Lake City is something we should all be proud to be a part of. Read on to hear about each of these holiday projects.
Dear Friends and Rotarians,
As I reflect on our recent meeting, I find myself filled with mixed emotions. My heart swelled with pride as Adam Rees from Sustainable Cambodia shared the profound impact our collective efforts are making in transforming lives across the globe. It is moments like these that remind us of the true power of Rotary and our commitment to service.
Yet, as I looked out at our gathering, a sense of urgency washed over me. While our club is vibrant and engaged, I couldn’t ignore the reality of our demographics, which raises concerns about the future of our beloved Club 24. 
The Acts of Kindness Program of the Rotary Club of Salt Lake City accepts one time emergency fund applications on a monthly basis.
The application requires that the Indvidual have an advocate/caseworker who can assist the applicant in completing the form and collecting the necessary documentation for the committee to review.
THE OPPORTUNITY & SUPPORT OF ROTARY OF SALT LAKE CITY IN OUR COMMUNITY
More 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.
