Hello! It’s fall, and once again, it’s that time of year . . . EREY is back!! EREY stands for Every Rotarian Every Year. This fundraising campaign raises Annual Fund-SHARE and such funds get split between World Fund (international projects) and District Designated Funds (local projects) as well as a small allocation that’s set aside for light but necessary administration.
Please read on for the details, but keep in mind that you also might receive some funds as a prize too . . . up to $2,000!
How It Works
For every $25 donation to the TRF Annual Fund-SHARE, you’ll receive one entry into a drawing. Donate $250 or more to receive 10 entries. Donations of all amounts are welcome and appreciated!
There are no physical tickets. All entries will be logged on an EREY inventory worksheet (through October 30, 2026), and a random number generator will be used to select winners.
President Ozan Yasavur (Technical Consulting | Brown and Caldwell) called the meeting to order and welcomed all on Zoom and in person to the October 6, 2026 luncheon.

Join us for a compelling presentation by Norman Wong, who will share his family’s connection to one of the most important citizenship cases in American history — United States v. Wong Kim Ark that established birthright citizenship in the United States for nearly all born on U.S. soil. On June 30, 2026, the Supreme Court relied on the Wong Kim Ark decision in Trump v. Barbara, reaffirming constitutional birthright citizenship.
The YMCA and the Rotary Club of San Francisco will work together to help children keep their bicycles safe, working, and ready to ride!
