2026 Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon
ICL held its annual Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon on April 15th in the Zion Room at Utah Tech. Attendess enjoyed the warmth of camaraderie and a few good laughts as we celebrated not only our awesome instructors on the front lines, but also our selfless volunteers who work behind the scenes to keep ICL running smoothly. These include our Board and Council members, Committee Chairs, committee members, IT volunteers, office workers, and those who help with special projects, ICL exhibit booths and monthly mail prep. Our “army of volunteers” is the backbone of ICL, making it possible to offer a wide range of programs at a fraction of the cost of similar organizations. At this year's luncheon, we honored two of our outgoing leaders who have made impactful contributions to ICL:
Dr. Warren Stucki , who served as ICL President from 2024-2026, received the ICL President Extraordinaire award . His term as president ended in April and we thank him for his intrepid leadership and many contributions to ICL (and his wonderful sense of humor). As Warren passes the president's torch to Wendy King, our new President, we are grateful that he will continue to teach classes and coordinate the Mini-Med School lectures. Thank you, Warren, for your unwavering support and dedication to ICL.
Dr. Robert Kramer, who served as ICL's Executive Director for eight years, received an award for Service Beyond the Call . When he began in 2018, ICL offered 50-60 classes per semester with weak standards and was experiencing membership decline and financial strain. Under Rob's leadership, offerings grew to 70-80 classes with improved
Warren and Linda Stucki
quality, leading to a significant increase in enrollment. He also launched six new clubs and helped to keep ICL afloat during the COVID-19 pandemic. He truly did go above and beyond the call! Learn more in our special tribute to Rob Kramer on page 11.

Lee Hughes , ICL's longest serving instructor, received a well-earned award for Lifetime Achievement . He started leading Botany Field Trips in 1990 while working for the Bureau of Land Management-Arizona Strip, focusing on native plants, rare & endangered species, and restoring Ponderosa pine forests. After retiring from the BLM in 2011, Lee continued to lead ICL field trips across southern Utah, Arizona, and Nevada, sharing his vast knowledge of plants and their uses. Now, in his 36th year, Lee remains an ICL icon and we are truly grateful for him.
Lee Hughes delivered some very inspirational remarks upon receiving his Lifetime Achievement award.

IT volunteer Read Gilgen also received a Lifetime Achievement award for delivering Master Technical Support to ICL from 2020-2026. Known as the "go to guy," Read assisted instructors with classroom computer setup, provided tech support, uploaded course and instructors photos to ICL’s registration site, coordinated IT tags, created teacher instructions, and resolved equipment issues alongside Utah Tech IT. We are grateful to Read for his years of dedicated service.

Attendees enjoyed chicken salad sliders, soups, Italian pasta salad, vegetable spinach wraps, and yummy chocolate cake.
ICL’s all-volunteer faculty share their expertise through classes, workshops, clubs, and field trips. Their commitment is essential to our community. Founded in 1979, ICL offers affordable lifelong learning, social interaction and fitness opportunities. Forty-seven years later, ICL has not only survived, but thrived, due entirely to the spirit of volunteerism among its members. Without a sustained cadre of volunteers, ICL would have vanished as quickly as it was established. ICL’s success is a testament to the dedication of its volunteers, whose spirit keeps it strong year after year.
Thank you to members of the Native American Flute class for the intro music.

Class Spotlight - Water Genius Instructor Doug Bennett
This spring, some lucky ICL members became “water geniuses.” The Water Genius class was offered for the first time this semester and proved to be extremely popular. The course, taught by Doug Bennett at the Washington County Water Conservancy District (WCWCD), covered a different topic each week and culminated with a field trip to the Sand Hollow Groundwater Treatment Plant and Quail Creek Diversion Dam. The class was filled to capacity for the entire 9-week course, but Doug was not surprised by its popularity. He points to surveys showing that the two issues of greatest importance to Washington County residents are housing and water, so people have a thirst (pun intended) for knowledge about water conservation. In Water Genius, students learned about the complexities of managing water, from the law to actual water use practices, and the many competing interests surrounding water use. They also walked away with the information necessary to make good decisions about how to manage water wisely, in and outside their homes.
Doug Bennett
The Water Genius program seeks to create a community of informed citizens who understand where their water comes from, how it is managed, and how personal and collective choices affect the region’s water future. Topics included environmental issues, infrastructure, community water demands, household water use and conservation, and water reuse and purification. When asked which topic was the most popular, Doug said ICL members were "highly engaged and excited about every topic," noting people didn’t even take a bathroom break during the 90-minute sessions and often lingered afterward to discuss that day’s topic among themselves. Doug first became interested in water conservation as a Horticulturist at New Mexico State University in the 1980s. He became interested in what was then the new concept of xeriscape (optimizing water use, utilizing the right plants and irrigation) and how good practices can reduce the water footprint of landscaping. After serving as an Assistant Professor at NMSU, he accepted a position for the City of Albuquerque to run outdoor water conservation programs. In 2000, Doug left his home state of New Mexico to work for the Southern Nevada Water Authority in Las Vegas. He retired from the Water Authority after 23 years to oversee the Washington County Water Conservancy District’s conservation program. Doug said he was drawn to the job because, “St. George is at a juncture in its growth where there’s lots of work to be done with assessment and creating programs to affect change.” Doug’s entire career has been public-service oriented, and he enjoys helping the community to navigate water challenges. Doug’s values have guided both his career and personal choices. For example, when he and his wife Elizabeth moved to Utah in 2023, they chose to live in Ivins, not only because it is a small and engaging community, but also because it is the most water efficient community of its scale in the entire state. Doug even limits his shopping to stores with the smallest water footprint and once withdrew all his money from a bank that displayed an ostentatious water feature in the middle of a severe drought. He points out that his water conservation work with the WCWCD is important, not only for existing residents of Washington County, but also to protect the interests of generations to come. He emphasizes, “If we make bad decisions now, it has severe economic, health, and cultural consequences for the future. We are obligated to get it right.” On April 9th, about 30 members of the Water Genius class attended a field trip to get a behind the scenes look at the Quail Creek Diversion Dam, just outside of Virgin, Utah. The attendees were among only a small number of residents to have visited this secure facility. The dam on the river allows the water to be diverted into a 66-inch diversion pipe that travels 12 miles to Quail Creek Reservoir, which is how water is moved from the Virgin River into our water supply system.

Class Spotlight - Water Genius (Continued)
From there, the group traveled down to Sand Hollow Reservoir in Hurricane, a critical facility because it not only stores water in the lake, it is also a groundwater recharge facility. Sand Hollow is intentionally designed to leak to allow the water to push down into the Navajo sandstone underneath and filter it so it can be stored as groundwater. Sand Hollow Reservoir holds about 50,000 acre-feet of water, but the underlying sandstone extends the storage capacity of the facility to about 200,000 acre-feet. To put the volume in perspective, the region’s water demands in 2025 were 53,000 acre-feet. The two reservoirs the group visited comprise the bulk of the municipal water supply in Washington County. If you didn’t get the chance to take his class this semester, there's good news - Doug will return with Water Genius this fall. For those that did take it, don't forget to share your water knowledge!

2026 ICL Scholarship Recipients
In October 2012, an Endowment Contribution Agreement was entered into between ICL and Dixie State (now Utah Tech University) to create a scholarship endowment fund for the benefit of students attending the University. An initial amount of $50,000 was put into the endowment, which was named the Stan Plewe and Ed Groves ICL Founders Scholarship Endowment, in recognition of the
gentlemen who founded ICL in 1979. The annual scholarships awarded to Utah Tech students are needs-based for non-traditional students in increments of $1,000. We are proud to highlight our 2026 ICL Scholarship recipients.
Karyme Bibiano is a third-year nursing student at Utah Tech. Her goal is to complete her Bachelor of Science in Nursing and become a registered nurse specializing in pediatric care. Karyme is grateful for the scholarship and says it will allow her to worry less about expenses and
focus more on her clinical rotations and volunteer work. Katie Christoffersen is a third-year student who began the nursing program at Utah Tech in fall 2025 semester. After earning her Bachelor of Science in Nursing, she plans to pursue a doctorate, with the ultimate goal of becoming a Nurse Practitioner. Katie is working to pay for college and says the scholarship will greatly help with expenses.

Dr. Robert Kramer ICL Director 2018-2026
Our beloved Dr. Robert Kramer is taking a well earned retirement from his position as ICL Director. For eight years, Rob has pushed ICL to innovate, improve, and impress. His passion for education and commitment to raising standards lifted ICL to new heights and kept us steady through turbulent times. Rob will never claim sole responsibility for the many achievements ICL reached during his time, but quietly guiding others in the right direction and his gift for imagining new possibilities have always been his superpowers. These qualities made him an invaluable leader and teammate. He drove the transition from paper to online registration, embracing technology's potential to make ICL more efficient and accessible. When the COVID-19 pandemic made in-person classes impossible, Rob helped ICL pivot to Zoom, a format we still use today. He also worked with Daphne Schroth and Russ Stevenson to secure a $30,000 grant from the Sorenson Foundation. As Rob himself puts it, “It’s all about community. It’s all about becoming a

family where we share and care and grow together." Under Rob's leadership, class offerings grew from 50–60 to 70–80 per semester, while the bar for quality rose right alongside them. Rob also helped introduce clubs to ICL, including the Desert Archaeology Society and the Personalized Exercise Program (PEP Club). He guided ICL to its highest membership numbers and, when the pandemic threatened everything we had built, Rob helped us rise from the ashes. Together with partners at St. George City, Intermountain Health, the St. George Chamber of Commerce, and Utah Tech University, he co-founded the Live Long. Live Well program, bringing wellness resources directly to our community. Rob says that his greatest accomplishment is transforming ICL's organizational culture. He empowered committees to take ownership of their roles, amplified the voice of volunteers, and ensured that every corner of the organization stayed aligned with ICL's mission. Every decision, every initiative, was always rooted in the same priority: the members. Rob says that more than anything he will miss the relationships with members and volunteers. He is incredibly proud of what this organization has accomplished together. He plans to take the fall to recharge, but looks forward to staying involved by teaching and contributing to projects as opportunities arise. He will enjoy his newfound free time with his wife, free from the pull of work calls and emails. We will all miss Rob's warmth and playful spirit, but we wish him and Nancy happiness in all their adventures that lie ahead.

Club Spotlight - Table Tennis
Can the game of "ping pong" actually change your brain? According to The Athletic, studies suggest table tennis has the power to alter brain structure and function, potentially helping us live longer. While the term "Ping Pong" is a historic trademark for the game alternatively known as table tennis, the sport itself has become a serious tool for health. In February 2024, Dr. Antonio Barbera brought NeuroPong to the St. George Rec Center from Colorado where he developed it. This specialized program helps those with neurodegenerative disorders, like Parkinson’s and MS, build new neural pathways through quick decision-making and hand-eye coordination. Today, the program at the Rec Center boasts over 30 participants and 20 coaches.
Seeing these benefits, ICL established its own beginner and intermediate classes at the Rec Center. Held in the same air- conditioned auxiliary gym as NeuroPong, our classes meet at noon on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Our goal is to bring those same neurological and physical gains to the ICL community, wrapped in the social fun of singles and doubles play. Our table tennis instructors are living proof of the sport's impact. Three of our four ICL teachers also volunteer with NeuroPong. Despite facing significant health challenges—including pancreatic cancer and heart issues—they continue to play and teach at a high level. They attribute much of their resilience and health to keeping a paddle in their hands. ICL table tennis runs year-round - even through the summer! With ten tables on a professional wooden floor, it is truly one of the best places in Utah to play. We invite you to join us at noon on Tuesdays and Thursdays to experience the fun and the "brain boost" for yourself. Register at icl.utahtech.edu. Look for Table Tennis under "Annual Clubs." ICL Table Tennis runs year-round at the St. George Rec Center.

Be Someone Different This Summer By Dr. Rob Kramer
Our actions often follow how we see ourselves, and summer in Southern Utah is the perfect chance to expand your identity. Imagine yourself in a new light—just a small shift in how you describe yourself—then support it with simple actions inspired by the unique landscapes, sunshine, and energy of the region. This will help break down the rigid boundaries and fixed expectations we have set for ourselves. Step 1: Pick a one-word description of the new you. For example: • Explorer/Adventurer: Do something you wouldn’t ordinarily do - get outdoors and out of your comfort zone. • Learner: Over summer break, go beyond your ICL classes and do some additional research on your own. • Helper: Add something new to your list of what you are already doing for others. • Artist: Create something new or take a up a new artistic hobby. • Close friend: Think of one friend that you could do something special for - cultivate your relationship with friends. Step 2: Take one small action that reflects your chosen self-description. Start with baby steps - try something simple. Once you’ve taken a baby step, and if you enjoy the direction you’re heading, gradually expand your actions as summer goes on. For example: • Explorer/Adventurer: Try a new restaurant, walk a new path in your neighborhood, visit a local farmer’s market, join a ranger-guided tour in a state park, explore nearby petroglyph sites or hike a scenic trail (check out the ICL Hiking Club). • Learner: Research and observe desert plants & wildlife, read up on stars for your next night under the sky, research the history of St. George or a city you'd like to visit, take a guided bird walk, ask a ranger a question about native plants or animals. • Helper: Help a friend or neighbor in a new way, offer to water their plants or garden while they’re on vacation or to help them with yard work, volunteer at local summer events or help out at an animal shelter. • Artist: Create something inspired by Utah’s beauty—paint desert sunsets or sketch red rock formations, take photos of blooming cacti, make crafts from natural materials, take up art classes or an instrument (it's never too late to learn). • Close friend: Send a sunny, encouraging text or check in on friends you haven’t seen since class, reconnect over coffee or lunch, host a backyard cookout, organize a star-gazing expedition or a trip to see a play or concert with friends. Why this works: Changing your self-perception and expanding your identity just a bit opens a new realm of behaviors that align with your new self-perception. This approach is often more successful than setting a resolution because now it is a reflection of who you are. Try a baby challenge this week. Finish this sentence on a sticky note: "I now see myself as: ______" and do one tiny action daily that aligns with this added description of yourself. If the first step feels right, keep going! Most of all, enjoy the adventure and beauty this summer—and have fun!
