On Saturday, November 9, 2019, members of the Rotary Club of San Francisco, family, friends, and Interactors from Lowell High School participated in a walk at Pier 27 on The Embarcadero to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer's care, support, and research. Our group joined thousands of other walkers, and together we raised over $1,014,000 to fight this disease; our Club alone contributed $1,215 to the $1,014,000. The weather was also in our favor, and we all supported a good cause on a wonderful day.
President Casey Blair (Financial Service: Private Trading | Feis Options), wearing a golfing outfit in honor of today's guest speaker Barry Deach, Championship Director of the 2020 PGA Championship, called the meeting to order. As the theme of the day was golf, president Casey presented an award to Clif Thomas (Accounting | Clifton S. Thomas CPA) for being the winner of the 2019 Rotary Twilight Golf Tournament. Twilight Golf has concluded for the season.
Casey welcomed past president Jimmy Jeffery; he also welcomed Count Hans Schimmelmann, a visiting Rotarian and a real count from Spain, and exchanged club flags with him.
