One of the suspects is a prior murderer and another was arrested for murder in the second degree of a police officer.

DECEMBER/JANUARY MIXER by SF Rotary Webmaster December and January divisions joined forces to sponsor a wine and munchies reception at the penthouse office of The Ruben Law Firm. The "birthday mixer" was well attended, including a Clayton Valley Rotarian and

his wife who is interested in joining our club, who enjoyed the complimentary collation. The highlight of the night was the changing twilight view of Market Street from the "Denny Crane" balcony.
