The State of Utah is Rotary District 5420 which con-tains 46 clubs statewide. The purpose of it all is to provide community and international service. The Rotary Foundation facilitates this service. Each club encourages each member to donate to The Rotary Foundation and 50 percent of the money donated by the clubs in a district is returned to the district after three years. This money is used by the district for matching grants for local and international service projects. The Pleasant Grove Club meets weekly at 1 p.m. on Thursdays at Little Acorn. They invite any to come join them for lunch. "OldWIiite Church" continued from page 1 as possible. Their theme of Honor the Past, Enrich the Present, Inspire the Future, is a testimony to the simple faith of a hard-worki- group of saints who sacrificed to create a worthy place of wor-ship and learning. Instead of a homecom- - ing, it is hoped the current residents, as well as former ward members will feel they are "coming home" and will find joy and a sense of be-longing when they enter the building. The Open House will be held August 26 and 27 and all who have memo-ries of the Manila Ward are encouraged to write them down for future generations. For more information on the many services offered by Stone Gate, contact Jennie Johnson, Director at the south wall to be torn down. A bolt-lik- e object proved to be a time capsule sealed in the wall during the 60's renova-tion and will be opened for the public at the Open House on August 26. The oldest living original member of the Ma-nila Ward, Alex Wadley, will have the honor of opening the capsule. He will turn 100 in October and well remembers all of the changes made on the building. As each story unfolds, it becomes a part of the what makes Stone Gate unique and endearing. As lathe and plas-ter were pulled off the walls, they found brick instead of the usual wood studs. Through research Vickie un-covered the history of the school ward members had purchased and found they had taken the building apart, brick by brick, cleaned each one and used them to give more strength to the walls. These bricks have once again been cleaned and restored and were used to create the gift shop inside the front foy-er. The Utah Baroque En-semble will make its home at Stone Gate, having recog-nized the great acoustics cre-ated when the Bott's decided to angle the doors coming into the "Great Room", the former newer chapel. They unknowingly constructed a curved wall, which makes sound reverberate and is a sought after quality for musi-cal groups. These and numerous other tales are why the Bott's feel so passionate about pre-serving as much of the his-tory of the Old White Church rrfftff ::. PG Council Discusses UVU Day, Promenade by Mary Burgin Council Member Kim Robinson told the Mayor and Council that August 11, 2011 would be declared UVU Day in Pleasant Grove. She told them that the city, in conjunction with Maceys, would be supporting UVU and the students in Pleas-ant Grove that attend the univer-sity. A steak fry was held at the local Maceys to raise monies for scholarships. In the proclamation declar-ing August 2 Utah Valley Uni-versity Day, it told that 5,661 students from Pleasant Grove currently attend the school. Six hundred and two of those are on scholarships.

The university offers undergraduate degrees, as well as several Master Degree programs. Gary De Vincent's request for a two-l- ot subdivision at 2000 West State was approved by the city council. Mr. De Vincent plans to allow Techna Glass, which is currently just to the north of this location, to move into one of the lots now created. There are no definite plans for the adjoining lot as yet.

Lindon City To Conduct "Drill Down For Safety" by Cody Cullimore Lindon City Police Chief On September 12, 2011 Lindon City, in partnership with the Federal Emergency Man-agement Agency and the Safe America Foundation, will again participate in a nationwide ef-fort of partner communities to hold a city-wid- e emergency pre-paredness drill. Termed the "911 Drill Down for Safety" this event is scheduled near the anniversary of the terror events of 91 1 with the intent of raising awareness and agency ability in the areas of emergency management and emergency preparedness. As the smallest national partner last year, Lindon City won the top prize in 2009 with 78 percent of our citizens partic-ipating in our drill. Residents' efforts earned the city a small cash award which has been used to help purchase emergency HAM Radio gear for the city's emergency operations center. The city was in competi-tion with some heavyweight ju-risdictions in the nation, such as Chicago, Illinois, Atlanta, Geor gia, Dallas, Texas, Boca Raton, Florida, York County, Maine, San Diego County, California, Salt Lake County and Sandy City, Utah. Lindon's winning drill has been used as an example to them all in National Conferences in Chicago, Washington DC, and Philadelphia. Not bad for a little city out west. ...somewhere! FEMA Director Craig Fugate has made citizen pre-paredness a priority. Director Fugate said, "Personal disaster preparedness is and must be a national priority," and while FEMA can and is making im-provements to how to plan, or-ganize, and respond in a cata-strophic disaster, there remains one area of improvement that still needs considerable national attention: personal prepared-ness. Studies continue to indicate that far too many households do not have personal disaster plans that include provisions for as-suring the of their households for up to 72 hours following a disaster. A family should also think through personal preparedness plans in case of a catastrophic event that devastates their city. Mayor Dain and Lindon City officials also wish for all of you to be prepared. Lindon City has again ac-cepted the challenge to par-ticipate in this nationwide effort to drill with our commu-nity focus on communications. The community will again uti-lize the LDS Church's organi-zational structure of ward and stake boundaries in conjunc-tion with the city's pro-gram utilizing block captains to account for all residents of Lindon City. We would like to em-phasize that this exercise is a "community" drill, not an LDS church drill. The city is simply utilizing the structure which is already in place in the community. Please plan to participate with the communi-ty, regardless of your religious affiliation. This year the event will again include trained CERT members and will again drill all of the schools. As citizens of Lindon, residents will be reporting the number of indi viduals accounted or missing from each block. Watch for twists and complications to be introduced, just as would hap-pen in a real world emergency. The primary goal is to account ' for the whereabouts of each individual in the city. Testing the effectiveness of our meth-ods of communications is crit-ical for emergency response. Lindon City will continue to lead in the effort of personal preparedness and as a city is dedicated to promoting safety and emergency preparedness efforts among residents. Residents can watch for further information regarding the events planned for Septem-ber 12 and plan to participate and take this opportunity to make the community and the nation a safer place. A training meeting will be held on Thursday, August 25, 2011 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Lindon Community Center. Training items will in-clude information for Pre-paredness Specialists, Block Captains, Lindon Ham Radio Operators, and Lindon CERT members.
