Social distancing was not a barrier to Dave Pitcher, Pleasanton North Rotary president-elect, as he presented a $5,000 donation to Vicki Gordillo, president of the nonprofit Assistance League of Amador Valley. Funds will support the league’s Operation School Bell, which in 2019 sponsored shopping trips that enabled 325 disadvantaged children from Pleasanton, Livermore and Dublin to buy new school clothes.
