President's Message

Started in 2020 to address a need within our community, Unity to Spark Change has come a long way in a short time and is helping to bring all sectors of our community together.  Partnering with Ventura County Deputy Sheriff Association and other Community Based Organizations has provided Mike Wing, Executive Director,  with an opportunity to get the word out about ending social bias in our local community.  Bringing people from all walks of life together is what Unity to Spark Change is all about – Once you get to know your neighbor you get to grow with your neighbor.  Together we can end the bias.  What a wonderful presentation!
 
We have another very interesting program for you this week as well.  Robotics is what it’s all about as we learn how robots will soon take over the world, no wait that was a movie I saw last night.  However, our program will be just as interesting, you don’t want to miss it and remember to bring a guest.
 
See you this Thursday
 
Thank you
Jeff
