We are excited to announce that we are having two in-person events at the Homeless Prenatal Program (HPP) in June! Maybe you’ve heard about our support of HPP in the past, but you haven’t had a chance to get involved due to COVID. These are your opportunities!

On Tuesday, June 7, 2022, we will gather at HPP located at 2500 18th Street in San Francisco at 5:30 PM to organize diaper bags for mothers-to-be. We have a limit of 12 attendees to make 50 bags of baby clothes, towels, health kits, hats, and other items. Afterwards, we will enjoy a brief tour of the facility so that Rotarians can better understand HPP’s services. Street parking is available near HPP.

 

President Mary Liu (Real Estate: Sales | JM Real Estate Group) began the Zoom-only meeting at 12:15 PM. Past President Scott Plakun (Management Consulting | The Plakun Group) managed the meeting on Zoom and welcomed everyone as they joined.

 

Today's special guest was Christina Koetteritz, president of the USF Rotaract Club sponsored by both our Club and the Rotary Club of San Francisco Chinatown. Also online was today's speaker, Dr. Diane Birnbaumer.

Janet Kessler presents the Citizen Coyotes of San Francisco. Known throughout San Francisco as “the Coyote Lady”, she is a self-taught naturalist who is into her 15th year of daily field research, documenting our urban coyote behavior and family life and including their behavior at encounters with people and pets. More recently she has delved into their population dynamics, mapping their territories and some of their dispersals here in San Francisco without the use of tags or radio collars.

Join us for a conversation with Barry Posner – professor at Santa Clara University and co-author of the bestselling book The Leadership Challenge – about what people are doing when they are at their personal-best as leaders. Learn about ‘The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership,’ often described as "an operating system for leadership that offers universal applications for every leader.” This approach has been validated by youth, adults, and working professionals and forms the conceptual basis for RYLA and ALPS.
