"Dear Campers,
 
Camp Big West Rotary, where leadership meets laughter and fellowship sparkles by the firelight.
 
From that very first handshake at check-in to the final toast under the stars at Saturday’s Gala, Camp Big West Zone Institute is where Rotary’s best and brightest come together to grow, connect, and celebrate.
 
Our days are packed with Trailblazer Sessions and Leadership Paths — hands-on adventures that challenge, inspire, and fill your camp notebook with new ideas. And when the sun dips low over the desert? That’s when the real magic begins — shared meals, campfire conversations, and stories that remind us why we serve.
 
The Wigwam’s sun-washed courtyards and glowing pathways set the scene for a week of learning, laughter, and lifelong friendships.
 
Can’t wait to see you around the campfire,

Your Camp Big West Crew"

The Rotary Club of Grover Beach-Five Cities welcomes its Rotary District 5240 Past District Governor (PDG) Deepa Willingham who is PACE Universal's Founder/CEO.

She is the Past President of the Rotary Club of Santa Ynez Valley, being named the Rotarian-of-the-Year during her year as President and has been the winner of many humanitarian awards including the winner of Santa Barbara’s ‘Gutsy Gals You Inspire Me Award’ in 2013; one of the “Women of Action” Honoree at the White House in 2014; Time Now – Global Amazing Indian awardee from the Times of India in 2015; one of three Inspiring Women of Action at World Bank’s celebration of International Women’s Day in Washington DC, 2016; and the recipient of the 2018 United Nations Association (UNA) Peace Prize.

Over the past twenty-three years, a great deal of Deepa’ s time and personal resources have been dedicated to the founding and developing of the PACE Learning Centre (PLC) outside of Kolkata, India to counter-act child trafficking, through education of the girl child and empowerment of women. Her dedicated work at PLC, which she developed through an US non-profit organization (PACE Universal – www.paceuniversal.org) she founded, is resulting in the creation of a sustainable village rehabilitation model supported by PACE and a $330,000 Health, Hunger and Humanity Grant from The Rotary Foundation. With this grant money and with the help of local Rotarians, who have become her partners, she is completely rehabilitating the village of Piyali Junction by bringing literacy (to children and adults), health and dental care, clean water, sanitation, vocational training, banking/micro- lending to help the change the face of trafficking and poverty in that corner of the world. PLC is now poised to serve a model for duplication. She will share more with our club about PACE Universal's work.

"Rotary President-Elect Learning Seminars (PELS) are essential events for incoming Rotary Club Presidents to prepare for their year of service. As club presidents-elect prepare to lead and guide their club, PETS provides an incredible opportunity to learn their role and work with others to set goals.

PELS is more than leadership training. It’s an experience – and for many Rotarians, it’s one of the most memorable and inspiring experiences of their Rotary careers! You’ll have the opportunity to meet Rotary International leadership, hear from great speakers and celebrate your district’s efforts to change our world!

Southwest PELS is a partnership of 11 Rotary districts encompassing five states. The first multi-district PETS established in the United States, today it has the distinction of being one of the largest multi-district PETS in the country!

This inspiring and informative seminar exposes Presidents-Elect to the latest trends and techniques in the operation of a Rotary Club. The PETS experience is also a wonderful opportunity for great fellowship and networking with over 600 Presidents-Elect from throughout the Western United States!

This website will assist in your preparation for PELS and can also be used as a resource at any time.

Building Future Rotary Leaders!"
