2022-2023 Vice President of Vocational Service
Sunny Singh becomes President-Elect of the Rotary Club of San Francisco on July 1, 2022 and will vacate the position of Vice President of Vocational Service. The Board heard from Wendy Shew who is interested in filling this vacancy. Wendy has a strong dedication to service and is passionate about self-development. She wants to promote vocational development within our Club and District and bring in the right professionals to help us learn and grow. As this is not an elected position at this time, but rather an appointment to complete a term, President Mary exercised her authority and appointed Wendy to be Vice President of Vocational Service from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023. 
 
Grant Review Committee Update
President-Elect Christopher Wiseman gave an update on the Grant Review Committee. 

A Discussion on Club Dues
The Board discussed the amounts for Club dues for the 2022-23 Rotary year. Dues have not been increased in many years, but it may be necessary to increase them this upcoming year. Christopher noted that our dues are still lower than the amounts charged by many clubs our size. He is hoping to have some events next year, such as dinner, hybrid meetings to increase the value of membership. 
 
Club Business
Ad for 2022 District Conference Program: President Mary recapped the motion to approve $250 to place a half page ad in the 2022 District Conference Program to thank District Governor Danielle Lallement for her work. The Board had approved this motion via email. 
Audit: The Board discussed whether our financial records should be audited each year and then, informally voted to not perform an audit at this time given the expense.
