Rotary District 5150 stretches across Marin, San Francisco and San Mateo counties of the San Francisco Bay area. Our Rotary club members are people of action and inspired individuals who translate their passions into relevant social causes to change lives in communities, both locally and globally. Rotary International forms a global network of business, professional, and community leaders who volunteer their time and talents to serve communities and form strong, lasting friendships in the process.
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.
Here at home, we are more polarized than we’ve been since the Civil War, with a level of political division . . .Rotary District 5150 is proud to honor Larry Booth of the Rotary Club of San Francisco as the Rotarian of the Month for October 2024*!
Larry Booth has been a dedicated Rotarian since 1986 and joined the Rotary Club of San Francisco in September 2021. He brought with him a wealth of experience and a deep commitment to service.
