Welcome to the Rotary Club of Millcreek

Our Rotary club is service and friendship minded, and we have planned a great year of service and fellowship activities. We are casual, down to earth, and fun loving. We serve our community while enjoying each other’s company. One of our goals is to respect each other’s time, with each member doing what they can, when they can.

Rotary William Penn afterschool party
In December of 2024, we had a fantastic holiday party for the Asian Association afterschool program at William Penn Elementary. City Academy students and teacher Lillian Scoville did a great job with the activities. Our club members provided gift bags and winter clothing that was distributed to parents after the festivities were over.
 
Our club provided $50 Walmart gift cards to each of the families and Holbrook HVAC bought 40+ coats for various family members.
 
We did a good thing with this party, making the season bright! Give yourselves a big hug for being great human beings.
House of Hope - Mothers Day Lunch
 
 
 
House of Hope, makes it their goal to serve as many women and children as they possibly can. They believe recovery is possible for anyone who wants it, regardless of the obstacles that may stand in the way. They help women to realize their potential and instill hope in them that they can recover.
 
This year, our House of Hope Mother’s Day project was a huge success!  We enjoyed great support from a number of club members.  We purchased and packaged special gifts for all of the mothers.  The House of Hope choir then honored us by singing two beautiful songs in thanks.  We were awed by the recovery story of one mother who shared her story of recovery and now works with the clients who are on their journey to recovery.  This is the eighth year we have done this project.

Community Resource Fair
In April 2024, the Millcreek Rotary Club supported the annual community resource fair at the Bud Bailey Apartment complex.  It was a collaborative effort of Millcreek Promise and Utah Housing Connect, along with many other community organizations.  Our team of 6 served chicken sandwiches with all the fixings and chips, which were supplied by the Millcreek Promise team.

Join us for a unique and festive evening on Thursday, November 16, 2023. Here's the scoop on what we've planned: 
 
Where the Fun Begins: We kick off at YouthLinc at 5:30 PM sharp. Let's mingle and savor some tasty bites for 15 minutes before we get down to business .
 
Agenda Highlights: Post-snacks, we'll swiftly move through our standard '4-way test' and key announcements. Judy Zone will then facilitate a final planning discussion about the essentials of our Holiday service project on December 6th 🎁.
 
The Main Event: Post-meeting, we're off to witness a landmark moment – the grand opening of the new Millcreek City Hall and UPD Millcreek Precinct 🎉. We'll wrap up early at YouthLinc to join the festivities.
 
Getting There: You're free to enjoy a leisurely walk from YouthLinc to City Hall if the weather smiles upon us . Alternatively, you can drive and park at Harmons Grocery Store's ample lot, or even better, team up for a carpool ride .
 
Celebration Timeline: The grand ceremony runs from 7:00 PM to 7:30 PM, capping off with a fabulous fireworks display 🎆. It's also a proud moment to support our very own Francis (Frank) Lilly, the man behind our strong alliance with the City.
 
This event isn't just a celebration; it's a symbol of our solidarity and community spirit. Your presence will make it all the more special 🤝.
