It was with a mixture of appreciation and sadness that the members of our Club recognized Mark von Hoetzendorff as The Rotarian of the Year for 2023-24. Mark passed away last May and left a remarkable legacy exemplifying Rotary's 4 Way Test.
Mark was known for his unwavering commitment to volunteering in local and international Rotary clubs for over 40 years. He dedicated himself to serving through various Rotary clubs, including Chico and San Ramon, CA, ending his service after co-founding the Rotary Club of Sedona Village in Arizona. He was president of the Rotary Club of San Ramon in 1994-95 and served as District 5160 Governor in 2002-03.
Mark von Hoetzendorff's memory will live on in the hearts of his family, friends, and the hundreds of lives he touched. His legacy will be remembered by his dedication to making a positive impact in the world, his optimistic outlook and love for family and friends.
