Larry Booth joined our Club on September 14, 2021. He is a mechanical engineer and contractor and feels fortunate to be part of a 109-year-old California firm, doing business in the Sacramento and Bay Area commercial and institutional building markets. He currently works out of his South San Francisco office.

 

Larry is married with two children and three grandchildren. As a family, they enjoy cooking meals together with everyone participating. For hobbies, Larry likes to fish, cycle, and attend car shows.

 

 

Rotarians and guests met on September 30, 2021 to tour the Mission District murals hosted by the Precita Eyes Muralists Association (the Association). The Association was founded in 1977, originally as a community muralist workshop. It now supports nearly 100 murals in the Mission, many of which are in Balmy Alley. Balmy Alley homeowners have allowed muralists to beautify the privately owned passageway, and murals are occasionally refurbished and refreshed in collaboration with the original artist(s) and homeowner. The Association's mission is to support Chicano muralism’s original objective: to create public art that authentically represents a community’s history and culture.
