She has contributed to key initiatives, including Mayor Karen Bass’s “Inside Safe” program in collaboration with Harbor Interfaith Services, which has helped house hundreds of individuals previously living in encampments. Kristinia holds an MBA from Marymount California University, a Manager Certification from Torrance Memorial Medical Center, and a Grant Writing Certification from The Center for Nonprofit Management.

Richard Foss will join the club to share his work at Collage: A Place for Art and Culture and the instrument donation program there that gives musical instruments to local high school students. Rotary has supported his non-profit in the past and we look forward to hearing how things are going. This should be a great program and one not to miss. 

Frank and Dorothy sent off on a round-the-world adventure and we are going to catch up to them in Japan! Come hear from one of our own club members as they share their recent adventures. This will be a Zoom meeting with Frank and Dorothy who are calling in from Japan. Not to be missed!!
