HISTORY
On 3 March 2008, a resolution was presented to the Cotton Mission Chapter of the SUP to organize a newchapter in the St. George, Utah, area. The proposed title was The Dixie Sugar Loaf Chapter. The new Dixie
Sugar Loaf Chapter would consist of new members residing in the City of St. George, including the subdivisions
of Bloomington, Bloomington Hills, Little Valley, the Knolls, SunRiver, Dixie Downs, and possibly Santa Clara and
Ivins. Current members of the Cotton Mission Chapter could continue in that chapter or individuals who live in the
areas indicated could transfer membership to the new chapter. Student essay and scholarship awards could be
distributed between the two chapters—Dixie Sugar Loaf and Cotton Mission—and relieve financial pressures,
creating more equity among the chapters.
R. Wayne Pace was assigned by the Cotton Mission Chapter on January 4, 2010 to chair activities to organize
the Dixie Sugar Loaf Chapter. In meetings with Stake Presidents and the Regional Representative for this area,
it was decided that the name Dixie Encampment Chapter would be more appropriate than the Dixie Sugar Loaf
Chapter and so that name change was accepted. The new chapter was organized during 2010 and activated at
the beginning of 2011, so as to avoid conflict with preparations for and conduct of the national convention to be
held in St. George in 2010. For details of what went on during that 2010-2011 period, click here.
