Hello Rotarians and friends of The Rotary Club of Ventura East. Anyone who missed last Thursday’s meeting missed the fun of being Irish. That one will be tough to top. Our regularly scheduled Board meeting was Monday March 21, however, we didn’t have enough present for a quorum. Although no business could be voted on, we will have a short Board meeting immediately following this Thursday’s meeting. This week’s meeting will be filled with lots going on so don’t be late. With 2 programs scheduled, Joe Strohman will be introducing us to the Student of The Quarter, followed by Shawna Morris, CEO of Casa Pacifica. We will also be collecting “Sports Socks” at this week’s meeting as Sharon Daly will be sending them to Africa for The Mossy Foot Project. Please be generous as always.
As the war in the Ukraine is continuing to intensify, the need for basic necessities grows even stronger. The Ukraine is in a fight for its life. So many of its citizens have been displaced, and fighting for their lives as they want to remain a free country. I can’t imagine what it would be like if another country tried to take away our freedom. With limited food weapons, and supplies, many Americans are asking how they can help. As Rotarians, we know that Rotary is always going to lend a hand. Anyone interested in making a contribution may send a check to International and on the “subject”’ line, write UKRAINE. If you would prefer to have our club forward the check for you, we will be happy to.
A Celebration of Life for Midge Stork will be held at The Poinsettia Pavilion On Saturday March 26th at 2pm, for all of you that can make it.
