Rotary Club of Ventura-East

Elevator Speech

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.

What a wonderful and inspirational meeting we had last week with the 100^th birthday celebration of Dr. Rafael Canton. Such a happy, easy, and knowledgeable man. It was a pleasure hearing his thought on life and it was wonderful to see so many past Rotarians present to help us celebrate.

This week we will have the presentation of the Rotary Four-Way Test essays from our student winners. It should be another very inspirational luncheon.

We will be live from the Poinsettia Pavilion main ballroom (Ventura Room) but we are still running Zoom for any member that cannot attend in person for any reason.

The invitations for the 57^th Annual Service-Above-Self Recognition Banquet are in your email inbox, and I am looking for your RSVP.

Party will be on the 26^th at the Poinsettia Pavilion. Starting with cocktails and social time at 5pm and ending with live music from a local band “Mid Life Crisis”.

Looking forward to seeing you at our future programs and events coming up:

June 21^st – Board Meeting
June 24^th - DARK
June 26^th – 57^th Annual Service Above Self Recognition Banquet
July 1^st – Cal Magro
July 8^th – Nurses Scholarships
July 15^th – Social on the Rotary Plaza at the Ventura Botanical Gardens
July 22^nd – Jeff Moorhouse – Angel Flight

I hope you join me at our regular meetings every Thursday at noon live at the Poinsettia Pavilion or via Zoom.

Serving with a smile
