The Rotary Club of San Francisco had strong representation at last weekend's District Assembly. First, we celebrated incoming Club President Bob Hermann and cheered with bells and horns as he walked through the Presentation of 2024-2025 Club Presidents.

At the Project Fair, I found:

Thank you, all, for the new ideas and energy!
