40% of US GHG emissions come from five basic household activities we do every day: electricity use, home heating, transportation, food and waste. There are solutions for all five where you can take action, reduce your impact on the environment, and even save money.  Join us in April to understand more about your carbon footprint and how you, and your club, can use this platform to uncover solutions that will impact the climate crisis. 

Lisa Altieri is founder and CEO of Climate Solutions Net and creator of the extremely successful WeRenew.net carbon footprint assessment platform.  CSN’s web application makes it simple, easy and fun to learn about solutions and take actions including resources and progress tracking, and then connects users to work together and share ideas and resources. Think “Fitbit” meets “Nextdoor” for climate solutions.

Lisa’s background is a unique blend of experience including data analytics, business management and grassroots organizing. She has designed custom strategic data reporting and analysis tools for Silicon Valley companies as a consultant and organized over 5,000 volunteers in under 18 months as volunteer Regional Field Organizer for the Obama Campaign in 2012. Lisa has a B.S. and M.S. in Environment & Development Economics from UC Berkeley.

Lisa will be joined by Patrick Jurney, the City Program Manager with Community Climate Solutions, working with 30+ different cities, counties, and nonprofits to help engage residents on climate solutions. Patrick has custom-developed climate solutions programs for the Girl Scouts, Sierra Club, and dozens of local organizations - from the Kiwanis to local churches. Patrick comes to the role with a deep understanding of nonprofit development and community organizing. He founded the nonprofit Colorado Springs Food Rescue, taking an idea and creating a group that redistributes over one million pounds of food each year, and then went on to pass environmental and civic engagement policies in the state of California.

Please join the Rotary Climate Action Teams (RCAT) Network for this informative view of the climate crisis. To find out more about RCAT, the Network, and the Speakers Forum, go here. 

Rotarians, we need your help packing essential items for the homeless! You will be stuffing backpacks with snacks and hygiene items for a Catholic Charities project sponsored by the San Francisco Rotary Foundation. 

On April 17, there are two shifts:  shift 1 from 9 AM to 11 AM and shift 2 from 10 AM to 1 PM.

We will be working both inside and outside. The inside space is huge and well-ventilated, and the outside area has a cushioned surface for comfort. Masks, sanitizer, hand washing facilities, snack, and of course, fellowship will be plentiful.

There are two leadership positions available, but plenty of openings for those who just want to put the kits together. We will be assembling separate individual zip-lock bags of snacks and hygiene items and then stuffing them into Rotary branded backpacks. 

There is lots of free parking. $6 toll coming from the East Bay; no toll coming from SF and South Bay. Register now and then contact Carol Laughlin to select a shift.

Hand delivery of meals must occur between 4 PM and 5:30 PM in advance of the Monday Night Dinner Club with Friends Like Me via Zoom to be held on the first and third Monday of each month.

Carnaval San Francisco (CSF) curates educational platforms and creates artistic spaces of revelry that heal, strengthen, and unite disenfranchised communities of color through the power of art and culture. CSF has served the Mission and the greater San Francisco community since 1978 through the production of a year-round calendar of cultural and civic events. In response to COVID-19, CSF co-founded and has taken an active leadership role in the San Francisco Latino Task Force, a collaboration of community-based organizations in the Mission, who are working to meet the needs of the Latino community in crisis.

Rodrigo E. Durán is the son of Mexican immigrants, a San Francisco native, and an advocate for Latinx cultural preservation. He earned a Bachelor’s degree from UC San Diego in Communications and a Master’s degree from San Francisco State University in Public Administration, with an emphasis in Nonprofit Management. As CSF’s Festival Director since 2016, he has created safe spaces for the Latinx community to celebrate their cultures and languages. Since the beginning of the pandemic, his role has evolved to include the management of the Mission Food Hub’s operations, which provides 7,000 families with culturally relevant groceries every week. From 2018 to 2021, he served as the Marketing Coordinator for the Calle 24 Latino Cultural District, where he was instrumental in advocating and promoting the Latino cultural assets in the Mission District. In 2020, he had the honor of serving as the Master of Ceremony for the annual City & County of San Francisco Latino Heritage Month Celebration, hosted by Mayor London N. Breed.

Christopher Pollock, Historian-in-Residence for the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department and author, shares with us the history and features of our beloved Golden Gate Park as well as the Park's recent 150th anniversary.

With the 150ᵗʰ anniversary of Golden Gate Park in 2020, he launched the latest version of his book, first published in 2001, San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park: A Thousand and Seventeen Acres of Stories. The publication by Norfolk Press is a hybrid of a history and tour guide of the park’s many features. This was preceeded by another publication, Reel San Francisco Stories: An Annotated Filmography of the Bay Area, published in 2013, which is about the some 650 movies filmed in the Bay Area since the beginning of talkies.

Chris started his career as a designer specializing in interior architecture. With this experience, he changed gears to focus on historic preservation, specializing in historic research. A native of Connecticut, Chris has resided in San Francisco since 1979.

In March 2021, we gathered to organize baby wipes for the Homeless Prenatal Program, but we only got 1/3 of the job done. So, please join us for round #2! We still have 28 cases of baby wipes to separate into baggies for HPP. We do this work, because HPP does not have the resources to give out entire packages of wipes to its clients.

We need 12-15 people to help with this effort! We will meet at Hoogasian Flowers, an open-air warehouse, to sort and bag the wipes at a social distance. Limit: 15 people. Masks are required. Double masks are preferred.

The annual District Conference where clubs in the District come together to celebrate the year's accomplishments under the leadership of District Governor Mary Bates will be held on May 15, 2021. This year's District Conference will be virtual. In the morning will be a special keynote speaker, PDG Deepa Biswas, Founder of Pace Universal School, Piyali Junction, India. The evening portion will feature Rotary Club Excellence awards and the traditional Governors’ “Passing of the Pick”! 

First 200 registrants get a gift box.
