Shahir and I attended our first ever Rotary Club meeting and it was a great time. Larry Kramer invited us to be the featured speakers at the meeting. The San Juan Capistrano Rotary members are a fun fun bunch. We really enjoyed meeting this community and learning about the important service that their community organizes. Shahir gave a 30 minute talk, answered some really interesting questions, and shared some great conversations after the meeting concluded. The opportunity to speak to the Rotary Club is very special, as Rotary is not a climate focused organization, and offers a diverse audience with a range of knowledge about the issue of climate change. From our conversations, it seemed to be a mixed audience of conservatives and progressives, some of whom were less acquainted with the issue of climate change. Its always nice to reach new people! We hope this is the first of many events with Rotary!
