The concept of divisions or gathering Club members together according to their birth months began over 30 years ago. The only remaining active division is the February Division, and hosts Allan Herzog and Anita Stangl have been hosting Rotarians from the Rotary Club of San Francisco born in the month of February for the last 30 years: Allan in the summer for a spectacular barbeque and Anita for an annual get-together at Christmas.
On July 14, 2025, the February Division met for its semi-annual party at the beautiful home of Allan Herzog. Everyone in attendance shared food and camaraderie. Thank you, Allan, for keeping a great Club tradition alive!
