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.

President's Message
Jeff Burgh

It’s with a heavy heart that I must inform you of the passing of our Rotarian Brother  John Borneman.  John passed on Saturday and as of this morning I don’t have much in the way of details, more information will be provided as it is received.  John always had a song in his heart and a bird in his eye and was willing to share both.  He will be missed.  Please keep John’s family in your thoughts and prayers.
 
As I write this week’s newsletter, I am struck by the fact that we probably will not be meeting “face-to-face” as it were until long after my Rotary year has ended.  Sad to think about, as I miss seeing each of you in person every Thursday.  That said, I am so glad that we are continuing to meet via Zoom, to carry on with our meetings.  I am also glad that we continue to impact our community by providing scholarships and donations to support other non-profit activities.  We may not be meeting “face-to-face”, but our work continues.  Keep the faith, we’ll be together again soon, and it will be even better.
 
Don’t forget dinner Thursday night – Get your meal count to me by noon Thursday, for your 5-6pm pick-up.  I know my wife and I can’t wait.  😊
 
And, please remember:
Stay in Place – Don’t go out unless for essential activity
Maintain Your Space  - If it’s necessary to go out stay 6 feet apart
Cover Your Face – At all times when outside your house
For additional information, please visit www.VCEmergency.com
 
Looking forward to seeing you this Thursday- via Zoom.  Until then - stay safe.

Happy $’s: Margarida Eidson, Ashley Pope,
 
President Jeff updated us on the county policy on masks. Dr. Levin recommends everyone wear a mask regardless if you are healthy or not. You should wear a cloth mask and not a medical grade mask. So the policy is that masks in Ventura County are not mandatory.
 
Bruce Mcgee said that John Borneman is not mobile at this time. Please keep John in your thoughts and prayers
