Thank you to everyone who attended our first off-site meeting of the Rotary year at the Boys & Girls Club.

It was inspiring to hear from Patrick Mullin about our club's long history of supporting the Boys & Girls Club and to see firsthand the impact of that partnership, including the new scoreboards that now serve local youth. It was a powerful reminder that creating lasting impact is not always about large projects. Sometimes it is about years of consistent support, relationships, and investment in young people.

I also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Erin Antrem and Alexis Minie for their warm hospitality and for welcoming our club to the Boys & Girls Club. We are grateful for the opportunity to learn more about the incredible work their team is doing every day to support the wellbeing, growth, and success of local youth and families. The Boys & Girls Club serves as a powerful reminder that when organizations invest in young people, they are investing in the future of our entire community. Thank you for your leadership and for the lasting impact you continue to create.

Rotary allows us to plant seeds whose impact we may never fully see. Whether we are supporting youth, addressing community needs, or strengthening local organizations, our collective efforts continue to make Ventura County a better place to live, work, and grow.

Thank you for being part of a club that continues to turn generosity into lasting community impact.
