Welcome to Burlingame Rotary Club

Established 1925

Supports the Rotary Club of Burlingame Scholarship Programs

August 8 Recap

Our next meeting is a lunch meeting at 12:15pm at Poplar Creek on August 15. Our speaker will be Kevin Gardiner, Burlingame Community Development Manager, who will report on new developments in Burlingame including the old Drive-In office building development and the Post Office development.

I know these meetings in August are in the middle of the "Dog Days" of summer and many of you are out of town. However, if you are not out of town I hope you will attend this meeting. We have made a modest attendance guaranty (significantly less than half of the club's membership) to Poplar Creek. However, we are having trouble meeting it. So if you can be there, it would greatly appreciated.

July 25th Recap

Our next meeting is a lunch meeting at 12:15pm at Poplar Creek on August 1. We will receive an update from two of our Burlingame High School scholarship recipients and we will be joined by their families. Our program will consist of Fritz Brauner and Bob Doerr making a video presentation. Additionally, I will not be at the meeting (many of you might consider this a good reason to attend) and Cheri Delacy Carr, our President-Elect, will have her first opportunity to run a Burlingame Rotary meeting. Come out and support her.

Debunking June 20, 2018

Posted by Marc Friedman on Jun 24, 2018

A Message From Incoming President Marc:

Dear Fellow Burlingame Rotarians,

This is the first of regular messages to that I plan to write you to update you on the activities of our club. It is my honor to become the president of our club and to work with you to make our club one of the finest Rotary clubs in the Bay Area.

Let’s Review What Happened Last Week:

We “thanked” outgoing President Mike Horwitz or is it Horowitz with a hilarious debunking revolving around President Mike trying to sell our club’s number one profit maker, the Rotary Arms Motel. Many thanks to all involved in the debunking including our debunking producer Mark Johnson, Chuck Voltz our emcee, Rabbi Jay Miller who gave the invocation, Jerry Winges with a newscast that was particularly difficult this debunking as apparently almost all pictures of Mike were burned prior to the debunking, Dennis Zell for another creative script and, of course, the cast of our production – Lage Andersen, Cheri Delacy Carr, John Delany, Cary Koh, Marilyn Orr and in a special appearance Father Michael Mahoney.
