E-MEETING: International Trade and Trade Policy during the Pandemic
Mar 02, 2021 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM

The pandemic has disrupted world trade. International trade played a role first in spreading the virus. As the virus surged, international trade became part of the solution by distributing PPE and now vaccines. The pandemic has also turned the global economy upside down. Dr. Alan V. Deardorff will discuss the pandemic's effect on economies and international trade and analyze the policies that the US and other countries used, some positively but often negatively, to deal with the damage.

Dr. Deardorff is the John W. Sweetland Professor of International Economics and a professor of public policy at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. His research focuses on international trade. With Bob Stern, he developed the Michigan Model of World Production and Trade, which has been used to estimate the effects of trade agreements. Deardorff is also doing theoretical work in international trade and trade policy. He has served as a consultant to international organizations including the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and the World Bank. Deardorff received his Ph.D. from Cornell University.

This is a regular membership meeting of The Rotary Club of San Francisco, open to all Rotarians, visiting Rotarians, prospective members, and guests.

SERVICE PROJECT: Rotary Meadow
Mar 06, 2021 9:15 AM - 11:30 AM

Come and enjoy nature, fresh air, and fellowship as we do some gardening and weeding 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 8 people (Rotarians plus guests). Children ages 10 and above of the participating 8 Rotarians are welcome.
  • All volunteers must bring and wear a face covering over both the nose and the mouth.
  • Wear closed-toe shoes.
  • If you want, bring your own water and snack.
  • Ample social distancing is available with this outside work project.

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.

E-MEETING: Global Fund for Women: How Philanthropy & Politics Impact Gender Justice
Mar 09, 2021 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM

In honor of International Women’s Day, we will be joined by two impressive members of the Global Fund for Women (GFW) team - Cinthia Carvajal and Ammarah Maqsood - to learn more about what current politics and movements mean for women (in the U.S. and abroad), and how power and privilege can be shifted to women via feminist philanthropy. Join us to learn more about what we can all do to support gender justice and help create meaningful and lasting change for women and girls around the world.

Originally from Bolivia, Cinthia Carvajal learned from her mother’s experience as a Latin-American immigrant woman living in the U.S. She focused on social justice and equality with an emphasis on intersectionality, social movements, gender, immigration, and artivism. She began work as a sociocultural anthropologist, seeking to understand community-led strategies. She completed graduate studies in Switzerland and has worked with Planned Parenthood, Thousand Currents, and GFW. Cinthia focuses on promoting and supporting the advancement of human rights of immigrant women, gender equality, and economic and reproductive justice locally and globally. As part of GFW, she supports their Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights Program, their Feminist Crisis Fund, and their Women’s Funds work.

Ammarah Maqsood has a deep-rooted passion for social justice, especially human rights and equity for women and girls. She enjoys connecting with donors through authentic storytelling and leading them to the frontlines of gender justice movements. She has been in nonprofit work for eight years and comes from a diverse background with experiences in programs and development at both local and international nonprofits. She holds a BA in Political Science and Economics and a Master's in Public Administration (MPA). She applies her knowledge and expertise to be an effective organizational leader and approach philanthropy through a feminist lens. She is currently the Development Officer (West), connecting with donors on the West Coast and managing the GFW's young professionals' group, Spark.
