For years now Hilda Norwalk has been working at Levi's Stadium - not for herself - but to raise money for our community. She volunteers her time and coordinates other Rotarians to do the same, earning money which is donated to our Club's Foundation. Cheers to Hilda! Service Above Self! Happy Birthday!

I have accepted this club excellence award on behalf of the Mission San Jose Rotary Club, presented to me by our district governor Herb Ritter. It basically means that we not only accomplished all the goals that we set out to do as a club, but we did so excellently!

So proud of my Rotary Club. The biggest little club around, we are 22 members and growing strong.

As President of Mission San Jose Rotary and representing our Club at the RI convention in Taipei this year, I had an absolute blast.

Meeting up with fellow Rotarians, getting a chance to show people around the city I’ve come to love over the last 25 years was really fun. Taipei – what an amazing spot! Close to my heart.

As always, I learned a ton and come back refreshed, inspired, and totally exhausted 😎🎉🥵

And I am definitely looking forward to some cooler weather.

Meanwhile… Here are some pictures.

Seeing our community come together in action makes moments like this truly meaningful

This weekend, members of our club rolled up their sleeves to help renovate a new office space for One Child "Clothing the Spirit", an organization that supports underserved children and low-income families with clothing, school supplies, and essential resources.

Instead of hiring an outside renovation company, our club stepped in to help transform the donated space and save the charity thousands of dollars. From clearing out the area to working on renovations together, every helping hand made a difference.

We’re proud to continue supporting One Child and look forward to helping with the final move-in soon!

What an amazing Saturday serving our community.

Our club came together to help renovate a new office space for One Child, an organization that supports underserved children and low-income families with new clothes, school supplies, and other essential resources.

Washington Health in Fremont donated the unused space, and by stepping in to do the renovation work ourselves, we were able to help save the charity thousands of dollars.

We’re excited to continue helping with the final move-in once the space is ready!

We’ve proudly supported One Child "Clothing the Spirit" for years, and it’s always rewarding to be part of something that makes a real difference in the lives of children and families in our community.

Great conversations start where expertise meets real-world experience.

We are excited to host Rachel Stillwell, an award-winning entertainment lawyer, at our next meeting for an engaging discussion on entertainment law, copyright, and the evolving music industry.

She has been recognized on Billboard’s Top Music Lawyers List for seven consecutive years. With a practice spanning entertainment, intellectual property, and employment law, Rachel advises and negotiates on complex matters for businesses and creative professionals across the music industry.

Her work includes representing GRAMMY-winning artists, record producers, songwriters, independent labels, and leading organizations such as the musicFIRST Coalition, which brings together some of the most influential voices in the global music ecosystem.

Beyond her legal practice, Rachel plays an active role in shaping industry policy and advocacy. She has served as Co-Chair of the Recording Academy Los Angeles Chapter’s Advocacy Committee, contributes at the national level with the Songwriters of North America, and serves on the Board of Directors of the Future of Music Coalition.

Join us for a timely conversation on how law supports creativity, protects rights, and influences the future of the entertainment industry.
