We are a leadership organization comprising of local business, civic and professional leaders.
 
We are a nonpolitical, nonsectarian service club.
 
We meet regularly to get to know each other, form friendships and through that we are able to get things done in this community. Like:
  • Scholarships at 5 local high schools,
  • Interact Clubs at 3 local schools.
  • Support the YMCA, City Center, Ventura Botanical Gardens
  • Promote literacy and career guidance in schools
 
Internationally we support a huge project our club started called GoCare in Nicaragua and contribute to eliminating Polio worldwide.
 
The Rotary Club of  Ventura-East meets Thursday noon to 1:30 at the Poinsettia Pavilion in Ventura. Come and learn more about Rotary's humanitarian service, high ethical standards in all vocations and help build good will in this community.

President's Message
Jeff Burgh

Well, I am back in beautiful Ventura, and I’d like to thank Margarida for taking the lead last Thursday.  I am sure everyone enjoyed the update on law enforcement in Ventura County, presented by Sheriff Ayub.  This week we have something maybe less informative, but I am sure you’d agree, more fun.
 
This week is our first “Third Thursday Night” at Rincon Brewery (6:30pm) – I can’t wait!!  Please don’t forget to bring you spouse, significant other, friend, business acquaintance and/or potential member.  All are Welcome.  Remember the night will begin with a short business meeting to be followed by Food, Drink, and Fun.
 
Additionally, this Wednesday night (September18th) Rotaract is holding a fundraiser for their annual Mexico Build.  $10 will buy you all the pizza you can eat, with the proceeds going to help fund the build.  So, please join Rotaract this Wednesday, September 18th from 5:30pm – 8pm at Domino’s Pizza at 9410 Telephone Road, Ventura. 
 
See you Thursday Night!!
 
On World One Rotary
