Events

Wishing you a happy Memorial Day holiday weekend. There is NO Rotary luncheon this week.

We invite you to attend any of these celebrations to honor our veterans. See here for details.

This is an opportunity to give back to the incredible need of homeless or housing insecure families in San Francisco. Please help us stuff diaper bags and organize diapers for giveaway at HPP. We will meet at Hoogasian Flowers, an open-air warehouse, where we will stuff bags and organize goods.

Come and enjoy nature, fresh air, and fellowship as we do some gardening and seeding to improve and enhance Rotary Meadow in the heart of Sutro Forest. Rotary Meadow features a garden of native plants and a view of the 61-acre forest below. The Meadow was developed by Sutro Stewards volunteers to restore the native plant population as identified in the 2001 Sutro Plan. The Rotary Club of San Francisco provided the financing to bring this restoraton to fruition in 2004. Everyone who walks the trails of Mount Sutro owes their nature-walk-in-the-city to the Stewards volunteers, who have logged thousands of hours clearing the trails.

Before you register, please review these important guidelines:

• Arrive by 9:15 AM for registration and signing of release form.
• Attend an orientation. Each participant will receive training, gloves, and tools from the Sutro Steward leaders. If you can, bring your own gardening gloves.
• The total limit is 20 people (Rotarians plus guests). Children ages 10 and above of the participating 20 Rotarians are welcome.
• Wear closed-toe shoes.
• If you want, bring your own water.
• Pizza and beverages will be provided after the event. Please register so that we can order enough for everyone.

Rotarians Over Age 60 
Sutro Stewards has an option for Rotarians over 60+ and/ or with underlying health conditions (anyone considered to be in a high risk category). This is an adaptation made to Sutro Stewards' regular program to help volunteers feel more at ease. If you wish to volunteer in this category, please contact kelly@sutrostewards.org

Parking
On-site parking is free during the program located above the nursery at 476 Johnstone Dr. in red spaces marked “Aldea Center Parking Only.” Additional street parking can be found nearby on Clarendon Avenue and Christopher Drive.

San Francisco Mayor London Breed joins us to talk about San Francisco's many issues and take your questions. We do expect a large audience and encourage you to register early.

London Breed is the 45th mayor of the City and County of San Francisco and the first African American, female Mayor in San Francisco’s history. Mayor Breed led the City through the COVID-19 pandemic, during which San Francisco had the lowest death rate of any major city in the country.

Her experiences growing up in Plaza East Public Housing and living in neighborhoods impacted by redevelopment have led to her commitment to create opportunities for all San Franciscans to live and thrive. During her administration, she has prioritized policies and programs to address some of the most crucial issues facing the City, including public safety, economic recovery, housing and homelessness, workforce development, transportation, and climate change. To read more about the Mayor's priorities, visit: https://sf.gov/mayoral-priorities

Prior to serving in public office, Mayor Breed served as Executive Director of the African American Art & Culture Complex, San Francisco Redevelopment Agency Commissioner, and San Francisco Fire Commissioner. Mayor Breed then served for six years on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, including three years as President of the Board.

Born and raised in San Francisco, Mayor Breed graduated from Galileo High School and attended the University of California, Davis, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science/Public Service. She went on to earn a Master’s degree in Public Administration from the University of San Francisco.
