CALP Dedication: In the Memory of John Mathers 1946 – 2023
John Mathers was larger than life. He had a joie de vivre and love of life that was infectious. When he was with you, you knew he was listening and hearing you. He enjoyed learning from others and would do whatever was necessary to help them succeed. He thoroughly enjoyed his Hospice volunteer work, his storytelling to youth at the Asian Art Museum, the Golden Gate Breakfast Club gatherings, and above all, his work with the Climate Change Youth Program through Rotary International. He was particularly proud of the young people he met around the world who were committed to trying to reverse climate change. John was a very active member of Rotary International, becoming President of the San Francisco chapter and coordinator of their world-wide Climate Change activities. John’s work is carried on through the love of his family, professional and friend circles and also through CALP!
