Scott smith has his red badge
Tony Villanueva introduced Dr. Scott Smith and presented Scott with his red badge at a recent club meeting. Scott decided he wanted to become a Rotarian and so set about finding a match for his interests, visiting five different clubs. Happily, the Rotary Club of San Mateo was the perfect match! Scott is an Infectious Disease Consultant, rides a unicycle, and is a beekeeper. As you see him at meetings, be sure to introduce yourself and extend a warm welcome.
