Congratulations to Judy Wilson of the Rotary Club of Tiburon-Belvedere for being selected as Rotary District 5150’s Rotarian of the Month for February 2025!
Judy is the heart and soul of the Rotary Club of Tiburon-Belvedere, a true embodiment of "Service Above Self." Her dedication, professionalism, and expertise make her an indispensable part of the Club, and without her, many would be lost. She currently serves in multiple leadership roles, including International Services Chair, Public Image Chair, interim Foundation President, and unofficial Secretary. No matter the task, Judy is always there, ensuring everything runs smoothly with grace and precision.
It’s a new year, and we always start with such high hopes—for a year filled with peace and joy.
Yet, we are confronted daily with a relentless barrage of conflict. In 2024, we had 323 school shootings—an improvement over 2023, when there were 349. Feel better now? I didn’t think so. We still face the war in Gaza, uncertainty in Syria, the horror in Sudan, the conflict in Myanmar—the list goes on.
