In the span of a few days, Rotarians from our Club completed a service project, celebrated with one of our Club's partners, and held a tree-planting activity to honor the life and memory of the wife of Rotary Meadow founder and past president of our Club, Harold Hoogasian.
 
Service Project: The Diaper Bag Assembly for the Homeless Prenatal Program occurred on March 11, 2026. Robin Azevedo, Kayla Trunecek, and Ruth Wenzel assembled diaper bags. They were joined by Christian Hernandez and Patti Urban; both are Visiting Rotarians from Coral Gables, Florida who were in San Francisco for a wedding. Said Robin, "We enjoyed getting to know the Visiting Rotarians and swapping stories about our Clubs."
