The Studio Movie Grill is now open and manager, Ryan Woods, spoke to the club about the unique experience of their newest location. Whether you come early or stay late, they'll set the mood for a great night to socialize and connect.
The Studio Movie Grill has created an immersive movie-going experience with custom luxury recliners paired with laser projection, studio extreme large format auditoriums, and Q-SYS sound systems so you can enjoy this season's biggest blockbuster, take in a family feature, or host a private event. Service buttons are placed at every seat, so your server instantly knows when you need to place your order or need assistance, and they'll deliver your order directly to your seat anytime during the show.
After the meeting, Ryan distributed free passes. One more reason to come to meetings!
Say cheese, gentleman!
We had a sweet little guest join us

International Projects for BERC
BERC has partnered with the Rotary Club of Moorpark (District 5240) on a global grant for equipment and training for the Gupta Cancer Hospital in Kolkata, India. The host Rotary Club is Victoria Kolkata Rotary Club in District 3291. This global grant has been approved by the Rotary Foundation (TRF) and the International Chair of this club (Jim Lewis) has done a number of grants with District 3291. 6 clubs in our district are cash partners, and BERC is a cash partner contributing $1,050. Once update and/or picture are available they will be shared with the club. Because we are an international partner, BERC will get credit toward our International Service Awards.
The second international project BERC is anticipating to support is the building of 320 rainwater cisterns in San Miguel de Allende in Mexico. This global grant is in partnership with the Rotary Club in Simi Sunrise (District 5240). The International Chair of this club (Chas Wilson) has asked BERC to be a cash partner. Lee Carter is the project leader with the Rotary Club of San Miguel Midday in Mexico. The global grant application has been locked and will be reviewed by The Rotary Foundation (TRF). As of today, this global grant has not been approved. 29 Rotary Clubs, 9 Rotary Districts, 15 individuals and 4 Foundations are collaborating on this project. If approved, BERC will be a cash partner contributing $1,050. Once update and/or picture are available they will be shared with the club. This would also give BERC credit toward our International Service Awards.
