“I have known Harbir for years now through the Santa Clara Rotary Club. She embodies the Rotary philosophy, “service above self” in all that she does. We have worked together on many programs for Rotary like Steps for Success, new shoes and socks for kids, Christmas for Kids, a holiday celebration, gifts, new winter jackets, and a photo with me, Santa Claus, and recently, Harbir is Ms. Claus. Outside of Rotary, she is heavily involved in the community to help residents, seniors, youth and the vulnerable. She is always coming up with creative solutions by bringing people, organizations, and businesses together to address problems and community needs. Like she did with COVID relief effort this year by launching Santa Clara Community Coalition. She got people together and they made tens of thousands of masks, made jobs for the unemployed to build face shields, served 1000s of people with groceries and supplies during shelter in place, and made online story time and cooking time with kids since the start of shelter in place.
She is collaborative, innovative, genuine, smart, experienced and for the community. I highly encourage you to vote for Harbir K Bhatia for Santa Clara District 1.”
