“Service Above Self” is not just a motto; it’s a day-to-day practice for Rotarians. When each of us joined Rotary, we joined to contribute to the lives of others and enrich our relationships with others. Below is a list of current positions open in the Rotary Club of San Francisco that call for leadership and service:
On a stormy night, eight Rotarians gathered to plate dictionaries to be distributed in the San Francisco Unified School District. Present were Harold Hoogasian, Mark Calender, David Dye, Dora Dye, Bob Hermann, Dan Joraanstad, Kevin Leong, and Kathryn McCall. Steve Lindstrom, a guest, joined us as well.
Rotary Club of San Francisco members Dr. Lily Muldoon, Skip Brewster and Ryan Wilson celebrated World AIDS Day 2019 in Kenya with fellow Rotarians from Africa and the Rotary Club of Boulder Valley, CO.

They also toured several Rotary agriculture, sanitation and water projects; met with local leaders and activists to exchange ideas; and helped with matching grant reporting.
The Super Bowl Pool is our Club’s annual drive to raise funds for The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International (TRF), whose mission is to enable Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty.
