We had our monthly meeting for the Ronald McDonald Family Room Walk and the committee is starting to take shape  and plans are starting to be firmed up. We should know very soon the exact date and location for the walk. It was very exciting to see so many Rotarians in the room eager to volunteer their time for this project and we even had a representative from the Junior Charity League with us! This project will surely be a huge community effort. Thank you to Bruce McGee for leading the charge and getting everyone organized!

 

Our program this week will be a craft talk with Bill Hicks interviewing Steve Harbison. Steve had a long career in the legal field and is now retired and living in Ventura. One of the things I wanted to do this year was for all of us to learn more about each other. That is the reason for the craft talks. Also, the Sip & Sees are a way for us to get to know each other in a more informal setting. While you may not want to put together a succulent pumpkin or do spice ornaments I encourage you to come out and just "Hang Out" and get to know other members of the club. We are working on a social for the last Thursday in January which will be painting on wine glasses. That should be pretty cool, but again, if painting isn't your thing just come out and socialize with us! I can tell you, I am the world's worst painter, but it's fun!

 

The Rotary Club of Ventura-East is your club so if there is something you would like to see us doing, please let me or a member of your board of directors know! The more input and the more ideas given to us the better it is for all of us.
