As Sons of Utah Pioneers we truly stand on the shoulders of others who have built communities before us. A most successful 2023 year in our chapter saw us hosting the National Encampment convention. We volunteered service hours then attended the rededication of the St. George Temple as part of that noteworthy event. In 2024 we will focus on the word “Dedication” in memory of the first pioneers who settled this valley with faith, hope and sacrifice.
We invite you to join us as we rededicate to be pioneers in our time and build the next generation of pioneers to honor our heritage.
Roy Taylor,
2024 Chapter President
The organizing meeting of the current chapter was held October 3, 1989 in the historic Washington County Courthouse. Verdell Hinton presided and conducted. There were 13 prospective members in attendance. They unanimously selected the name of "Cotton Mission" for the Chapter. Recruiting assignments were made. During the process of forming the Chapter, Verdell Hinton wrote a letter dated December 8, 1989 to invite prospective members to what was the second meeting, which was scheduled for December 14, 1989. At that meeting, Alan Ragozzine was elected president and Bart Anderson was elected vice-president with other offers to be chosen later.
