The speaker at our May luncheon will be Michelle LaMarche, Volunteer San Francisco City Guide.
​​​
San Francisco City Guides offers over 70 walking tours that highlight the stories and history that make San Francisco a world renowned destination. Running for over 45 years, their tours seek to preserve and perpetuate the history and folklore of San Francisco and to celebrate its rich history of cultural diversity. Michelle LaMarche has been one of hundreds of volunteer guides who lead tours every day, rain or shine, throughout the city. She will introduce us to SF City Guides walking tours with a focus on San Francisco Architecture and introduce us the stories behind the original owners, and the challenges to have them built in a city of hills, earthquakes, fire and sand.
​
Michelle retired 3 years ago from a 35+ year career in Sales both in high tech and almost 10 years at Stoneridge Creek Retirement Community . She has an MBA from Santa Clara University and a California teaching credential, having taught US History at Foothill High School in Pleasanton. She enjoys riding BART, loves SF, walks 12,000 steps every day, and is a self-described "history geek,." Volunteering as a San Francisco City Guide for almost 3 years is a perfect fit for her high energy and the early part of the retirement chapter of her life.
