Master of Ceremonies, Mark Curtis of KTVU

Although Curtis officially joined KTVU in January 1999, he's been appearing on Fox 2 since 1993, as Capitol Correspondent in our bureau in Washington, D.C. Now, Curtis co-anchors The KTVU Morning News and provides reports for other KTVU newscasts as well.

He's originally from Milwaukee, where he graduated with a degree in Broadcast Communication from Marquette University in 1981. While there, he received a Distinguished Student Service Award for his work as Program Director at WMUR Radio. In 1986, he received a Masters Degree from the University of Florida in Gainesville.

He's received numerous awards for his work, including the Florida Motion Picture & Television Association's "1989 Best Documentary" award in 1989 for a report on sightings of Unidentified Flying Objects. And the Florida Associated Press Broadcasters Association honored him with three awards including "Outstanding Spot News Coverage" in 1990 and 1992, and "Outstanding Enterprise/Investigative Report" in 1991. When asked about his new position at KTVU, Curtis responded enthusiastically, "It's great driving to work at 2 a.m. No rush-hour commute!"

Keynote Speaker, Mike Kutsuris

Mike Kutsuris calls Hayward South Rotary Club his home club.   District Governor of (then) District 517, Rotary Director 1981-83,  served on the International Executive Committee 1982-82, led a GSE Team to Brazil, Chartered 3 Rotary Clubs and 2 provisional clubs, was Chair of the 1998 Rotary International Convention in Indianapolis (he did get to go around the Indy track in a pace car, which must have been pretty cool.) 

Mike has received the Rotary Service Above Self Award  and a Meritorious Service Award from RI. Mike knows....there are opportunities available to each and every one of us in Rotary.  It is never too late to get involved.  Mike says....of course being involved in Rotary at an international level is very important, however...we can not forget about the needs of our own community.

Mike will share with us some great stories about his experiences in Rotary -experiences that we all can share!
