A couple weeks ago in our weekly meeting we got to learn about Analane's Angel Apparel. We were so moved by the work of Analane and her community of helpers. They create angel gowns for lost babies out of wedding dresses for grieving parents and gift them to hospitals across the nation and the world. The package that is received includes burial clothing, a crocheted blanket and a bracelet for the baby and one for the family to have as a keepsake . This nonprofit was birthed in memory of the angel children her family has lost. There is a variety of needs if you'd like to assist in furthering this beautiful labor of love. These are the current requests/needs:

-If you are traveling and would be willing to drop donations at a hospital in the area you are visiting that would be wonderful. Everything is arranged in advance and you would just drop the items off and take a photo with the nurses if you're willing. These donations have made their way to 37 states and 10 countries so far.
-Place an angel apparel donation to Ireland (she has the place to get them to but could use help with the expense of shipping the items, international shipping is spendy)
-The non profit affiliation renewal fees for the State of Utah ($)
-Renewal of website and domain name ($)
-Create the "Legacy of Lace" video about the start and finish of making angel apparel
-Thank you gifts for dedicated volunteers
-Purchase of needed supplies; transport wagon, storage space for supply transition, printed materials, DRM system
-Donations of wedding dresses, sewing threads, ribbons and beads

If you can assist with any of these items, please reach out to them. This is such a beautiful gift to grieving families and can alleviate them trying to figure out clothing for their lost love in the midst of a difficult time.

At our meeting last week we got to hear from senator Dan McCay who represents District 18. He talked about how the tenants of Rotary apply in his life and shared about a variety of subjects. We got to pick his brain about taxes. In his words, he nerds out on that subject so we took advantage of his knowledge on the subject. We are grateful he took time to pay us a visit.

Our club is so grateful that we got to participate in a service project delivering trailers and water tanks to the Ojata Chapter of the Navajo Nation on April 8th. This delivery and the fundraising was a collaboration among many Utah rotary clubs from Utah Rotary District 5420 including the Bountiful, St. George, Washington City, Midvalley, Cedar City, St. George Sunrise, Monticello, Blanding, Park City Noon, Orem, Puerto Penasco MX clubs and many individual rotarians. We provided 15 trailers ($1500 each) and 30 tanks that hold 275 gallons of water ($325 each). Big thanks to everyone who donated and participated for such a worthy cause! Here's a link to read more of the story.

Imagine if — in 2026 America — your family home had no running water, requiring someone to travel 15-20 miles several times a week to bring this precious resource back
