It was great to have District Governor Hung Wei at one of our August meetings, where she shared her message of hope and inspired us to be happy Rotarians. 

On July 29th, Inner Wheel Club of San Leandro's President Monika Williams, Vice President Amy Neuman (also a Rotary Club's Board member), and IWUSA President Gloria Vasconcellos shared their joy at the San Lorenzo Family Help Center. They joined the Rotary Club of San Leandro's Day of Service at the San Lorenzo Food Pantry. Volunteer roles included checking in clients, managing the flow, handing out food, preparing and sorting food for distribution, and assisting with cleaning. The SLFHC's mission is to provide food to low-income residents on a non-discriminatory basis. "We rise by lifting others."

Recently, we supported the 9^th Annual New Shoes for Schools Drive with Lee Thomas, our fellow 'Drotarian,' by volunteering, donating, and purchasing over 30 GrilleeQ BBQ meals on Saturday, July 22nd. We are helping to ensure that San Leandro students not only have new shoes for school but also have a feeling of hope for their future.
