New and Prospective Members’ Gathering
On May 16, 2018, we have a gathering designed for our new and prospective members. Join leaders from the Rotary Club of San Francisco at the home of membership chair Dan Joraanstad from 6 PM-8:30 PM. The address will be provided to each person who registers for this gathering. At this casual, after-work mixer, we will enjoy appetizers, drinks, conversation, and a short program focused on serving the community and projects. New opportunities and programs, new people, and places to go. Please RSVP here so we can plan.
Welcome to our Newest Members
In April, three fine, new members were inducted into the Club.
John Dean was sponsored by his wife, Susan Dean, who had just joined in March, an excellent progression in membership! John has been an attorney for much of his career, working for UC Hastings College of the Law. John and Susan travel annually to Antigua, Guatemala to help infants and toddlers who are beset by malnutrition. In our Club, John has jumped in right away and participated in the Bike Build as well as other events.
J
ohn Rigoli met his wife 50 years ago in San Francisco. After her passing, he returned to the City by the Bay two years ago. He has four sons, one of whom resides in San Rafael. His career has been diverse with time spent in the Navy during the Vietnam Conflict, at IBM in San Jose, and other entrepreneurial work. He has three books to his credit dealing with the women of the Ancient Christian Church who have been left unsung for centuries. John is currently a member of the Commonwealth Club, Jewish Community Center, and the First Unitarian Universalist among others.
Bebo White has expertise that overshadows his long and distinguished career as a physicist and computer scientist at Stanford University’s Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC). He is an internationally known expert in cryptocurrency and in much demand on the speaking circuit. Bebo will soon be speaking to a Rotary Club in France on this subject. His goals in our Club are to work on projects involving technology for social change and to support the technology requirements for efficient management of our Club. Bebo has lived in San Francisco for 43 years with his wife, Nancy; they have two adult sons.
In closing, dear reader, I would like to reiterate a policy newly instituted in the past year…if two people are in a committed relationship, the second to join (as in the case of the Deans) is granted a 75% discount to dues. The theory is that two together are stronger and will magnify their contribution to our Club by both being involved. Bring your spouse or "significant other" to the Club and enjoy 75% off.
