San Pablo Smiles at Peres Elementary School | Rotarians at Work

Richmond CA Rotary Posted on by

Richmond Rotarian Josh Rosales and the Peres Clinic team had a fantastic time at Peres Elementary’s annual Back to School Fair on Saturday, Aug 17th! We raffled off several back-to-school care packages and introduced ourselves to parents and students.
