The annual summer adult party is tonight at the traditional location in Jolley’s Ranch in Hobble Creek Canyon. For many this is the favorite party of the year in the beautiful canyon setting. No reservations are necessary. There will be steak and salmon for everyone. Feel free to bring a guest who might enjoy Rotary membership.
Wednesday, September 8, is the annual United Way Day of Caring service event. Provo Rotarians are invited to join others from around the community for breakfast at 7:30 at LaVell Edwards Stadium followed by 4-hours of service.
President Steve Tolley presented a tie to Gary Wiest for being caught wearing a Rotary tie clasp in public recently.
Jeff Alexnader served as sergeant while raising money for the club’s charitable foundation.
Today’s speaker was Coach Dave Rose of BYU Basketball. He spoke about how much he enjoys his job, doing every day what he loves to do. He feels good after a bout with cancer last year. He spoke about the sorts of players he recruits, those with talent (competitive drive), commitment (loyalty), work ethic and discipline. He is always looking for “team” players who will sacrifice for each other in order to make the team successful.
This year will be a test for Jimmer Fredette because of all the attention he’ll receive as a returning all-American. He thinks the most improved player he ever coached was Rafael Araujo. He will miss Chris Miles, BYU’s all-time highest scoring 3-point shooter. Two of his favorite players over the years were Travis Hansen and Lee Cummard because they would do anything for the team without needing personal attention.
