August 2026 Newsletter

We will NOT have a Chapter meeting in August for the Salt Lake City Chapter, so enjoy what summer is left and we will see you in September.

Trust you enjoyed the July activities provided by The Sons of Utah Pioneers International, and by other organizations such as the Days of '47 Parade, the Pioneer Day Celebration, and the many other activities that were available and that August has been and will be devoted to those last minute family activities before school starts, which we've just learned is in a couple of weeks for some.

National Society of Sons of Utah Pioneers

There are about 45 chapters nationwide, most of them in the intermountain west.

The mission of the society is to come to know our fathers and turn our hearts to them, preserve their memory and heritage, honor present-day pioneers worldwide, and teach these qualities to the rising generation.

We honor the Utah Pioneers for their faith in God, devotion to family, loyalty to church and country, hard work and service to others, courage in adversity, personal integrity, and unyielding determination.

 

Membership in the society is open to all good men of every age and circumstance who have an interest in the early Utah Pioneers and wish to honor them, perpetuate their memory and preserve their heritage for posterity.

 

Join Now and affiliate with a chapter.
