Membership Co Chair Jeff Moe

I joined Rotary in 2016 after long admiring what our club does. I studied Computer Engineering at U of M (Go Blue!) - now a retired Aerospace Systems Engineer. I'm also active in the Cupertino-Toyokawa sister cities program and in 4H (bee keeping). I enjoy the wide variety of activities our club has to offer, especially World Community Services,. The magnitude of each project enabled by a TRF grant is astounding, and our opportunities to travel are truly unique because we connect with people in other countries in ways beyond being traditional tourists.

er retiring from a career in Human Resources, I joined Cupertino Rotary in 2023. I relish the camaraderie, friendliness and can-do spirit of my fellow Rotarians. I am active on several Rotary committees and especially enjoy being involved in and enhancing both the local and the global impact of Rotary. Everyone shares a common focus on helping others. This world-wide network of support and dedication to making a difference is what draws me in and fosters both personal growth and the opportunity to contribute to transformative projects.

Community Service Co-chair, Bill Allen

I joined Rotary at the end of 2017. I had been looking for a while to find a great group of people and a way to make the world a little better place and I found it in the Cupertino Rotary Club. Community Service allows me to give back locally and utilize the a variety of skills that I enjoy using.

I joined Rotary in 2020 during the Pandemic. I was and continue to be amazed at the breadth of impact through Rotary service and love being a member. I am currently employed by a software company. Rotary has become an integral part of my life as I strive to make meaningful contributions to the betterment of our community. I have actively participated in numerous service projects, and created an affinity group "Knots and Needles". I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to lead projects within Work Force Development aiming to introduce innovative programs that enable our members to make significant contributions and provide meaningful service.

Youth Service Co-chair, Debbie Textor

I joined the Rotary Club of Cupertino in 2016 after being inspired by their work in the local schools, community and the world. I worked in public education for 34 years (27 in the Cupertino Union School District) as a teacher, principal, Director of Special Education and Executive Director of Pupil Services. In the 23-24 and 24-25 Rotary years, I served as the Youth Services Co-Chair. In 2023, I traveled to Cambodia and Thailand with a wonderful group of Rotarians to visit Rotary projects and support a local school in Siem Reap. I value the opportunity for service, connection and fun that Rotary provides.

I first attended Rotary as a Boy Scout. I was impressed and thought I might join someday. In 1990, I joined the South San Francisco Club and was active until I was transferred to San Jose. In 2014, I joined the Cupertino club, as my wife and I own a ski shop in Cupertino. We’ve been married 44 years and have three grown sons and four grandchildren. I’m a retired commercial property and sustainability manager for Oracle. I’m a volunteer in Scouting and enjoy hiking, traveling, genealogy, and restoring my ‘63 Porsche.

Club Service Co-chair, Helene Davis

I’ve been a member of the Rotary Club of Cupertino for 14 years and served in many different capacities. The committee I am most involved in is World Community Services and I have been on nine international service trips and a champion of three global grants.

I am a life long resident of Cupertino, In my Rotary off-hours I enjoy hiking, biking and travel, most likely doing all three with my fellow Rotarians!

Membership Co-chair, Judy Wilson

I joined Rotary 15 years ago after raising 4 children and working as a Human Resource executive. Rotary introduced me to a whole new world of opportunity and friendships. I was the President of the club in 2016-17 and my theme was all about our Partnerships. My Rotary passion now is working with Membership, both finding new members, but more importantly making membership meaningful. I have also taken a leadership position with the District and I will be “Chief of Staff” for Savita Vaidyanathan for the year 2022-23

World Community Service Co-Chair Dana Stern

I want to live in a community that cares about each other. This statement is what has always propelled me to volunteer. After becoming an “empty nester”, I joined Cupertino Rotary in 2014, serving as secretary and participating on various committees. I am native to Northern California, attending local schools and San Jose State University. After staying home with my children, I re-started my career in Health Education at Kaiser Hospital, where I retired in 2021. Rotary offers me opportunities to participate in the community and world while building new friendships both here and abroad. Belonging to Rotary also provides unparalleled travel experiences which I have enjoyed immensely. My other interested are gardening, cooking and entertaining, traveling and spend time at the beach with my family and pug, Otis.

Program Co-Chair Chair Rod Sinks

I joined Cupertino Rotary in 2011 and value the opportunities for inspiration, fellowship and service. At the end of 2020, I will finish nine years of service in local government on the city council, the Air District, Silicon Valley Clean Energy and the Cities Association. Next year, I look forward to focusing my energy and passion on our club.
