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.

Cal Magro

Greetings fellow Rotarians and friends of The Rotary Club of Ventura East. Last weeks meeting I am sure was very informative for all. I am sorry that I missed the presentation. Just think, I have been running away from those bees all my life and there was no reason to.

My vacation is almost over and you are ready for a great meeting this week. Bruce McGee has volunteered to run this week’s meeting, and the program is The 4 Way Test. I always enjoy the High School Students at our meetings. Our future is in their hands, and they always prove to be very good hands.

Another reminder to bring your donation of White Sport Socks so that Sharon Daly can bring them with her on her upcoming trip to planning another trip to Africa where they are so desperately in need of them. Thank you in advance for your generous donations.

Please remember to mark your calendar for our “Step-Down” Thursday evening June 23^rd. The date is fast approaching, and it promises to be a sellout. The evening will be held at The Four Brix Winery, located at 2290 Eastman Ave. Margarida will give you more details as they become available. Plans are being made for an unforgettable evening.
