Cal Magro

Hello Rotarians and friends of The Rotary Club of Ventura East. Last week we had our club’s charitable project with Foodshare in Oxnard. For those of you that missed it, it is obvious that the need is still out there, as we continue to see supermarket prices rise to unprecedented rates.

Just a reminder that as we prepare for the Easter holiday, this is both a joyful, and a stressful time for most of us. This is the perfect tome to tell our loved ones how much we care for them, and also to show a little more patience for those around us that might be having a difficult time.

Margarida Eidson passed out information cards as to how to help with donations for the Ukraine. Please send checks to:

ROTARY INTERNATIONAL DISTRICT 5240
