Public Registration Rotary Meadow Special Event — Honoring the Legacy of Nikki Hoogasian

Join us for a special morning of fellowship, nature, and service as we tend to Rotary Meadow in the heart of Sutro Forest. This event is especially meaningful as we will gather for a memorial tree-planting activity to honor the life and memory of Nikki Hoogasian, wife of Rotary Meadow founder and past president of our Club, Harold Hoogasian.

Rotary Meadow is a testament to the vision of the Hoogasian family and the generosity of the Rotary Club of San Francisco. By planting new life in Nikki’s honor, we continue the mission of restoration and beauty that she and Harold championed for our City.

A Place for Everyone
Everyone is welcome to participate in this event, regardless of physical ability or gardening experience.

Whether you are ready to dig deep or prefer low-lift activities like light weeding, debris clearing, or simply handing out water and sharing in the fellowship, there is a meaningful way for you to contribute. This morning is about presence and community as much as it is about gardening, so if you can be there with a smile, you are doing enough.

This event is open to members and non-members, so bring your friends!
