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.

I hope you enjoyed the Club assembly last week. I am sure we accomplished many goals to get ourselves even more engaged in the community and the world.

Thank you so much to Ken Kagan who volunteered to pass out dinners last Thursday night.

Remember we start the meeting with Breakout rooms of 3 or 4 for 10 minutes, if you arrive late to the meeting please wait until I place you in a room.

This week is our Zoom Game night. Ashley will be your game host for Scategories. Thank you, Ashley.
