Rotarian Terry Wilson from the Rotary Club of San Carlos will share his new book written about the Maasai Mara

Earned a degree in English with Journalism Major, courtesy of the GI Bill.  While in college I became a reporter and photographer. Following year taught English at Canada College; and next year took over the journalism department while my professor/good friend wrote his third book.  Manager editor of two local weekly's following two years; but joined an S&L as publicist in 1988 when the CEO offered to triple my salary.  Was publicist, then public information officer for the 43-branch S&L. Produced a four-color 24-page quarterly magazine, writing the stories, taking the photographs, and designing the publication. Later was marketing manager for a Squaw Valley timeshare. Sold out in one year; job ended; and I was offered a job as a loan agent where I have spent the past 35 years.  Served as Rotary newsletter editor countless times; served on the BOD; Endowment Board; and as Club President.  Travelled most of the world with my loving wife until she passed away in 2021 from pancreatic cancer surgery complications.   After being together over 50 years, the devastating loss of my wife still weighs heavily on my heart and soul.  Have always--since about aged eight--written poetry and short stories until my three trips to Africa on water installation projects.  As a result of these trips, I wrote my first book, Miracle in the Mara that was just published.  Have my mother, two adult sons, daughter-in-law with three grandsons, three sisters, and a cousin with his wife and four grand nephews.  Life has been good, exciting, and taken very different paths to get to this point in my life.

International Women's Day is celebrated each year on March 8 to recognize women’s achievements, to raise awareness, and to reflect on gender equality worldwide. The celebration of this day began in New York City on March 8, 1857, by textile workers who called for shorter workdays and improved wages. In 1975, the United Nations General Assembly began celebrating March 8 as International Women’s Day, and it has since become a movement to honor women across the globe.

As March 8, 2023 approaches, we cordially invite you to join us in this in-person celebration at the Auto Museum of the Academy of Art University, which is home to over 200 classic cars and one of the best museums in the Bay Area. This is a wonderful opportunity to network, to hear women's inspiring and thought-provoking stories firsthand, to participate in assembling comfort care kits for local women in need, and to discover ways to empower each other worldwide. Everyone is welcome to attend either the VIP Reception (beginning at 3:30 PM) or the General Reception (beginning at 4 PM).

The PROGRAM will be held from 5 PM to 6 PM:

• Welcome from Emcees: Johwell Saint-Cillien of the Rotary Club for Global Action Member and Past Rotary District 5150 Governor Mary Bates of the Rotary Club of Foster City 
• Welcome Address: Dr. Elisa Stephens, President, Academy of Art University and Honorary Member of the Rotary Club of San Francisco
