After new Hayward Rotary Club President Francisco Zermeno "wrapped up" leading his first meeting
July 7, he discovered that he'd have to unwrap his car.
Several men and women in the Hayward Rotary Club will share their most meaningful experiences as members at the organization's next noon meeting Monday, July 14, at 1074 B St. The club installed 2025-26 president Francisco Zermeno at its July 7 meeting and now will move ahead toward a full program year addressing the needs of Hayward, abiding by the Rotary International motto of "service above self." The club is coming off a record fundraising year for its charitable efforts, including $51,000 that went to grants for 17 local nonprofit organizations to address issues such as homelessness, hunger and literacy.
