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.

As the end of August fast approaches let’s not forget about the Taste of Ventura on August 29^th. This event, for which our Club is a sponsor, will be held at the Museum of Ventura County, beginning at 5:30pm. The Taste is one of Ventura Chamber’s most popular events. The Chamber along with local restaurants, wineries, breweries, and bakeries/confectioners, will present us with the very best food and drink our City has to offer, in a festive, casual atmosphere. Don’t forget the live music too. At $25.00 each, a greatly reduced price for Club members, the tickets are sure to go fast, so see Ashley to get signed up while they’re still available.

This Thursday’s program we’ll have Karen Hall, who will be discussing mediation skills to help in your business and perhaps other aspects of your life as well. You don’t want to miss it!! Bring a business acquaintance!!

I will be out of town this Thursday and would like to thank Margarida for running the meeting for me. – Thank you!!

“The New Frontier of which I speak is not a set of promises – it is a set of challenges. It sums up not what I intend to offer the American people, but what I intend to ask of them.”
