ROTARY LUNCHEON: John Rothmann and Election Day 2022

John Rothmann returns to speak to our Club. He will join us via Zoom and speak on Election Day 2022 which happens to be November 8, 2022. As always, John will welcome questions from the audience.  

John is a KGO 810 radio talk show host and political commentator. A frequent lecturer on American politics and the presidency, Rothmann has also been involved in a broad variety of political campaigns on the national, state and local levels. In his book Thomas E. Dewey and the Making of the Modern Republican Party, presidential scholar Richard Norton Smith calls Rothmann "a scholar of modern Republicanism". Historian Roger Morris in his biography, Richard Millhous Nixon-The Rise of An American Politician, acknowledges Rothmann "for his unique insights, and in particular for rare and crucial materials ..." 

John has been on the faculty of the Fromm Institute at the University of San Francisco since 2004. Rothmann is the co-author of Icon of Evil-Hitler's Mufti and the Rise of Radical Islam and Harold E. Stassen: The Life and Perennial Candidacy of the Progressive Republican. He was a consultant on the published books, The Jews in America, A Day in the Life of Israel and Jerusalem in the Shadow of Heaven. His personal library of 15,000 volumes is widely recognized as one of the finest libraries of American political history and biography in the United States.

A three-course lunch will be served. If you require a vegetarian, gluten free, or vegan lunch, please email Past President Mary Liu.

For Club members and visitors, there is a $45 charge for in-person attendance (which covers the cost of your lunch). NOTE: For those who wish to participate via Zoom, there is a $10 fee to attend.

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.

COVID-19 Protocol
