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.

Great presentation from the Ventura Botanical Gardens.

This week we will see a presentation from Gary Needham about Polio.

This Saturday we will be celebrating Halloween by hosting a Halloween drive through at the Poinsettia Pavilion Saturday from 3 to 5pm. We have lots of candy to give away and great decorations to make it a fun event.

Ventura Rotary East has 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.
