I hope you enjoyed the program last week. I know I did! I also felt inspired that Claudia Lourido Habib adopted the Peace Baton initiative at Ventura College. How cool is that! We finished the week with Love Ventura and helped the Ronald McDonald room. The Ventura Rotaract Club repainted the Ventura V sign and many other people participated in community service projects around the city. This week Jim Lewis with Polio Plus joins us. World Polio Day is October 24th.
In service,
