Bernadette is one of those rare individuals lucky enough to have spent much of her life in San Francisco. Bernadette’s impulse to join Rotary was inspired by her brother-in-law from the Berkeley Club as well as friends from the Windsor Club. She is looking to balance her life with a new focus on giving back and felt that Rotary Club #2 was a great fit. She has a desire to serve, but she also looks forward to enjoying the opportunity for friendships which Rotary provides as well as getting to know leaders in the community. Connections to Community Relations
The Membership Committee continues to be interested in your connections to anyone who has a job in the area of community relations in downtown San Francisco. Corporate citizens realize the positive characteristics of having their employees involved in the City where they work and live. It seems a natural fit to bring the programs of Rotary Club #2 to the attention of companies wanting to connect their employees to worthy causes. If you have any thoughts or connections in this area, please see Cullen Wong, Parker Austin, or Dan Joraanstad, the Committee working on this initiative.

New Faces, New Energy
Change is upon us in the Club. As our membership grows by about two new members a month, the Club is changing substantially with many new faces. Please make an effort to introduce yourself if you’re a new member to those you don’t know. And if you're an established member, please introduce the new folks to those around you. New energy, new ideas, new leadership…!
