The Board of the Rotary Club of San Francisco met on July 30, 2019; a quorum was present. In addition to the Board, Club members Terry Pickering and Stephanie Schmautz were present.
The Board reviewed upcoming events for August 2019. Rhonda Poppen announced that the community-based Rotaract Club is looking for speakers, and she had agreed to be a speaker. Dan Joraanstad said that he would invite San Francisco State University, one of our Club's corporate members, to participate in the Rotary Meadow clean-up on September 7.
We live in a time of fake news, political polarization, targeted social media, climate disputes, increasing job automation, and biased artificial intelligence. Dr. Iris Oved, Founder and Executive Director of The Paradox Lab, will be sharing her work to nurture the cognitive and social skills in youth and give you an opportunity to participate in a short demo lesson. The original speaker for today had to cancel due to a conflict.
Get a little muddy and help Sutro Stewards weed and restore Rotary Meadow - a garden of native plants our Club planted at the summit of Mount Sutro in 2004. Friends and family (including children ten and older) are welcome. After all the work is done, we'll enjoy pizza, beer, and fellowship.
Leila Zia, Principal Research Scientist and Head of the Research team at the Wikimedia Foundation, will define the role of Wikipedia today and describe it not only in terms of what it directly brings to its users and editors on site, but also in terms of the technological advancements it has made possible to an array of non-profit and for-profit organizations.
