On the District level, he has served as District Service Programs Chair, Assistant Governor, District TRF Annual Fund Chair, EREY/Paul Harris Society Chairs, District Chief of Staff, and is the District 5150 Governor in 2022-23.
He also lends his expertise as a member of the Health and Wellness Rotary Action Group and Polio Survivor Rotary Action Group.

For in-person attendees: Please note that once Past President Mary Liu provides the headcount to the Hotel Nikko on the Friday before our Tuesday meeting, we will be billed for that count regardless of whether you show or not. Therefore, it is important to let her know if you are unable to attend after registering, but no later than Sunday night. If you are a no-show without notifying her ahead of time, the Club will be billed the cost of the meal and will have to pass the cost down to you. We hope to not have to do this.
Parking: If you are driving to the Hotel Nikko for this meeting, please leave your car with the Hotel Nikko valet. Pick up a validation sticker available at our check-in table. The discounted parking is $17.50 for three hours.
