A big thank you to everyone who attended our March In-Person Meeting! It was a remarkable evening where we had the privilege of honoring five members of our club. Congratulations to Angelica Macen (President), Patrick Rankin (President-Elect), Robert Rosenberg (Former President), Ben Suber (Treasurer), and Allison Vu (Director of Public Image) for receiving the prestigious Paul Harris Fellow awards. They were all nominated based on the 4-way test and their enthusiastic and consistent dedication to our club and community.
We were also graced with insightful words from our guest speaker, Greg Powell, and enjoyed the presence of special guests from District 5240: Governor Sherry Peckhoon Sim, District Governor Elect Mike Dutra, and Past Governor Savi Bhim.
Your presence and support make all the difference. Thank you once again for your engagement and for making our community stronger!
