President's Message
Tim Hughes
member photo
Thanks to Margarida Eidson for arranging the wonderful social at Rumfish y Vino. So many of us turned out that we all couldn’t fit in the room. Our apologies to those who couldn’t join us in the main room.
 
We are dark this Thursday due to Thanksgiving Day. This day is an annual reminder to pause and be grateful for all that we have. Our culture bombards us with messages that we should have more, do more, and be more. This is why it’s so important to incorporate gratitude into our lives during the holidays-and everyday throughout the year.
 
Personally, I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of Rotary and Rotary Ventura East. I wish you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving.
 
We will be back together on Thursday, December 1st.
 
 
 
Thank you
Tim
President 2022-23
Rotary Club Ventura – East
