President's Message

Hello Fellow Rotarians,

I hope you’ve had a good Veteran’s Day weekend, reflecting on those who have served to protect our freedom, as well as the freedoms of other countries less fortunate than our own.
 
Thank you to Matt Friedlander, who provided a very thorough presentation of HomeAid IE for us last Tuesday. I think we all learned more about what this organization does and the impact it can have on individuals and families in the Inland Empire.
 
Next week, our keynote speaker is Jeff Kraus, Public Information Officer for the City of San Bernardino. If you want new info on what is happening in San Bernardino, you won’t want to miss Jeff’s presentation.
 
NOTE: Board Members, don’t forget we have a meeting immediately following this luncheon meeting. I’m planning on this not lasting more than an hour.
 
See you all there!
 

President, David Hahn 2022-2023
Rotary Club of Downtown San Bernardino
