Fraternal and Service Clubs in Sacramento and the Delta

A Brief Message Our Rotary Club can Deliver for You:

Starting in mid-October I will conduct interviews and capture personal narratives and oral histories for SRDHS at the resource center at Jean Harvie and hope members will contact me to share their stories. 

About the Speaker:
