Halloween Happy Hour at Boardner's with DG OLIVIA!

On October 26th, immediately after our "field trip" to Rich Correll's Icons of Darkness, join us at Boardner's (Boardner's website) - a Hollywood Institution since 1942! This is a very special happy hour gathering where we will welcome our 2022-23 District Governor, Olivia Patterson-Ryans, and be able to show her how very special Wilshire Rotary is! DG Olivia asked us to "think outside the box" for our Governor's meeting so what better way to introduce our esteemed DG to Wilshire Rotary than to have her at one of our amazing happy hours! 

In the spirit of Halloween - feel free to dress up - I'd say, go "Halloween Light" for easy movement and relaxed atmosphere! Food and drinks will be handled individually at the venue, but please register so we know numbers!

Olivia Patterson Ryans

Born in Chicago, the oldest of six children, I learned leadership, management, organization, accountability, and responsibility while growing up in Los Angeles, California. Attended Pepperdine University, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in math and psychology and a Masters degree in Administration and Management of Schools.

I’ve taught high school algebra and geometry before serving as a school administrator with LAUSD, a manager in the auto industry and as the Executive Director of a nonprofit agency in the real estate industry. I worked in the real estate industry for 20 years, now specializing in the commercial sector.

I’ve always strived for leadership roles as my way to be of service. As president of the Rotary Club of Inglewood, I developed interest in the business of Rotary and grew active on the district level. Attending our District’s Humanitarian Trips, I saw first-hand my Foundation donations at work across the borders. It is my belief that if we are sincere about the work we do as Rotarians through Rotary, the Rotary Foundation should be the first charity on our list for giving.

The greatest gift given to me, by Rotary, is my beloved husband. What a joy to have a life partner who shares my Rotary values and experiences. We work and play with the most unlikely folks from communities all over the world, developing friendships and partnerships, while helping those in need.

Olivia served on the board of directors of Music Mends Minds and as an ambassador for the Rose Bowl parade.
