More than a dozen Hayward Rotarians were on hand at City Hall Thursday night for the annual Volunteer Awards and Recognition Event. Since 1996, 15 club members have received Hearts of Hayward awards in various categories for volunteer service. Honorees this year included (from left): Bob Sakai with the Gail Steele Lifetime Achievement Award; Shubbie Aishida, founder of The Peace Haven nonprofit; and (far right) Tom Ferreira, co-founder of Hayward Concerned Citizens. Holding the club bell is Hayward Rotary Club President Kim Huggett, a past awardee.
