Melissa is the Past President and the current Membership Chair of the Rotary Club of Mission San Rafael.
She will speak about her involvement in Children Foundation, an organization which "helps children, mothers, and women empowerment."

Additionally discussing the Career Technical Education (CTE) school in Terra Linda.

"Not that long ago, almost all high school campuses had facilities for woodshops, metal shops, auto repair and other vocational pursuits. But, as budgets were tightened and interests like computer science gained popularity, most were shut down."

"While the result may have been good for those students looking to go to expensive four-year schools in pursuit of jobs in the high tech or business sectors, others were left out in the cold. Students who may have preferred to learn a trade and attend a two-year college (or no college at all) had little opportunity to get a leg up on a career."
