Rotary Club of Ventura-East

Elevator Speech

We are a nonpolitical, nonsectarian social organization comprising local business, civic and professional leaders. We meet regularly to get to know each other, form friendships and through that we are able to solve community and global problems with service projects. 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 medical project in Ethiopia 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. Use your professional skills and talents to make a difference.

Happy New Year!!

As I sit down to write my first President’s Message, I want you all to know how honored I am to be your President for the first quarter of this Rotary year. I follow in the footsteps of many wonderful Past-Presidents, most recently Cal Magro, who will be a hard act to follow. Wonderful Job Cal!!

If you missed this year’s Pushem Pullem Parade, well you missed a great one!! I couldn’t believe my eyes as the kids just kept arriving – I am told by the City this was the largest crowd in years. I can’t think of a better way to start the new year then with family and friends at a parade 😊

Let me warn you, you better sit down and hold on, we have some wonderful things in store for our Club, beginning with yesterday’s Pushem Pullem, Fall fundraiser event (more to come on that later), and interesting and educational programs. So much that it’s going to take 4 Presidents to make it all happen. Let the excitement begin!

I ask that you join me this Thursday as we welcome Robbin Paggi as our program. Robbin will be providing insight on Managing Generation Z.

Once Again, I am honored and look forward to serving you as Club President Q1 2022-23. Together we will inspire each other and our community.
