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.

When I think of Cuba I think of good rum and fine cigars, but I know there’s so much more to the small island ninety miles off Key West, Fl.  This is where our very own Adonis Campillo will fill-in the blanks.  This Thursday Adonis will provide us with a look into what Cuba has to offer visitors, all from his own life experiences from having lived in Cuba.  I know I am looking forward to hearing more about life in Cuba, from work to play, and everything in between.  You don’t want to miss this program and remember – Bring a potential member.
 
Our Club’s Thirty-Second Annual Poinsettia Plant Sales has begun.  You can pick-up flyers at our weekly meetings or contact Judy Hoag for information.  Thank you, Judy for your continued leadership and guidance on this very important event.   Free delivery is scheduled for Thursday December 5th.
