When did you become a member of the Rotary Family?
January 2005. Became a Rotary member when the Club was chartered in June 2005.

What is your favorite part about Rotary or what would like to accomplish as a Rotarian?I have worked in the Wells Fargo Building (downtown) since moving to Sacramento in October 1989. I live in the West Sacramento (since 1994) and my kids go to school and play sports in West Sacramento so I have a “vested interest” in the welfare of the community. I want to give back to my local community and be able to be involved in projects where I can see the effects of Rotary’s work.

My favorite part about Rotary is the fellowship and camaraderie of our club. Since our club is (still) small that has allowed us the chance (at the ground level) to really get to know each one of our members.

What advice would you give someone who is new to Rotary?

It is a wonderful way to meet people of your community and will also allow your family to get involved with you.
