Hayward Rotary Club is a non-partisan, non-political service organization. Our members are leaders in business, education, government, nonprofit, and community service. Rotarians come from many diverse walks of life, and we are united in giving back to our community. Hayward Rotary Club and Foundation have contributed millions of dollars of support to vital projects and programs that build a stronger future for Hayward and the world. Do you want to give back to the community in an organized way, in the company of distinguished community leaders? Do you have what it takes to become a Hayward Rotary Club member?

The Hayward Rotary Club's 42nd meeting of its 103rd year will be held June 23 at 1074 B St. and will be the final Monday luncheon of its program year. During the lunch meeting, president Kim Huggett will pay tribute to heroes and traditions over a record-setting 12 months.

Chabot College President Jamal Cooks will be the featured speaker at the June 16 meeting of Hayward Rotary, to be held at noon at the Masonic Hall, 1074 B St.
He was appointed by the Chabot-Las Positas Community College District Board of Trustees as Chabot's 10th president on Aug. 1, 2023, although he assumed the role on an interim basis in 2021. Chabot has an annual budget of $40 million, 400 full-time faculty and staff, and even more who work part-time.
He brings more than 20 years of teaching, research, and leadership experience to the Chabot presidency. He served as vice president of academic services at Chabot in 2022. Prior to community college administration, Dr. Cooks served as a professor at San Francisco State University, where he was also the associate director for the educational leadership doctoral program.
The June 9 meeting of the Hayward Rotary Club will start at the clubhouse cafe of the Mission Hills Golf Course, 275 Industrial Parkway, near Mission Boulevard.
After a noon lunch and a brief meeting, Rotarians will walk next door to either use the driving range and its laser-tracking system, or engage in a putting contest. There will be no charge for either activity, thanks to the Hayward Area Recreation and Park District Foundation. There will be plenty of irons available to share, but members are encouraged to bring their own drivers and putters, if they have them.
Hundreds of Rotarians from 63 District 5170 clubs gathered at San Jose State on May 28 for the annual conference preparing officer, boards of directors, and other members for a program year of service beginning July 1.
Only one of the 63 clubs had the foresight to bring its bell, which is why the Hayward club was recognized at the opening and closing of each session when President Kim clanged ours with authority. In one breakout session with grammy-nominated jazz violinist Jeremy Cohen, President Kim played a duet with him on the club bell to the bluegrass classic, "Orange Blossom Special." The same violin belonged to the MGM concert master who played for the score of Wizard of Oz, Gone With The Wind, and Singin' in the Rain.
Area Four Assistant Governor Vrushali Nanjundappa was on hand to assist with the program, Francisco Zermeno attended as our president-elect, Ivana Hubertova represented our membership and took pictures, and Sarah Lamnin helped present in the exhibit hall on the district's DEI outreach. More of Ivana's photos of the event are here and in our Facebook album here.
Whether texting, calling, emailing, using social media or just browsing the internet, vigilance is required to protect against identity theft. At the June 2 lunch meeting of the Hayward Rotary Club, Hayward Police Department investigators will discuss the ways criminals steal identity information and how to protect against it.
At an earlier meeting of the Hayward Rotary Club, when asked who had been a victim of identity theft most of those in attendance raised their hands. On June 2, Hayward police detective Victor Areliano and Capt. Dan Olsen of the investigations division will be the featured presenters on this subject. The club meets at 1074 B St.
The Hayward Rotary Club will not meet on Monday, May 26, in observance of Memorial Day. The club urges its members and those in the community to fly their flag at home and attend the Memorial Day event and free barbecue lunch at the Lone Tree Cemetery in Hayward, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The club's next meeting will be at noon on June 2 at 1074 B St.
The Hayward Rotary Club will meet next at noon on Monday, May 19, when Hayward Rotarian Steve Love and Noel Munivez of the Hayward Area Recreation and Park District, will discuss America’s fastest growing sport, pickleball. It is played in this country by 20 million people and has grown in popularity 300 percent in the last three years. Classes in the sport take up four pages in the HARD brochure.
