Sunny Singh joined the Rotary Club of San Francisco in 2017 on the recommendation of an older work colleague who advised him “to surround myself with successful and well-rounded people.”
“I enjoy the aspect that we have so many members involved in long-lasting nonprofit projects,” he says. “That makes it easier to get involved in projects that the Club is already doing. There are so many projects in different categories, so it’s easy to find something you’re passionate about.” And he jumped right in, volunteering for such Club projects as the Bike Build, Alzheimer’s Walk, stuffing diaper bags for the Homeless Prenatal Program, and attending several Club social events. On July 1, he joined the Club Board as Vice President of Vocational Service, replacing Mary Liu, who became President-Elect.
