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.

Margarida Eidson

Thank you to Ashley for organizing another great Scategories game last Thursday. We also had a dinner out at La Parrilla, and it was delicious.

This week we will listen to a couple of Board member from the Ventura Botanical Gardens.

Many members have asked me when we will return to in-person meetings.

In order for the Board to make this decision, they would like to hear from you.

At the next meeting we will be asking you to answer a 1 question survey on how you would like to attend meetings in December.

Hybrid meeting means – A TV with all our Rotarian Zoomers joining the in-person meeting outside on the patio of the Poinsettia Pavilion.

Here are the Choices:

No, I will not attend an in-person hybrid meeting on the patio of the Poinsettia Pavilion

Yes, I will attend an in-person hybrid meeting on the patio of the Poinsettia Pavilion

I am opposed to any in-person meetings

Your zoom responses will be anonymous, if you are not available to take the survey on Thursday, please let me know what you would prefer via email Margarida@live.com or text me to 805-216-7277. Thank you for taking the time to give us your opinion.

Poinsettias Fundraiser has started, and we have joined with Cypress Point nursing home to deliver a free Poinsettia to each resident. When you are selling to your friends please consider asking if they would like to donate a plant or two for this purpose. The residents of this type of facilities have suffered the most during this pandemic with no visitors. We would love to bring some joy to them this Holiday season.
