Ventura Rotary South Participates in
Annual Veterans Stand-Down Event
On Saturday, July 30, members, spouses, and friends of Ventura Rotary South gathered at the Ventura National Guard Armory to help prepare and serve dinner to nearly 200 veterans at the Ventura County Stand-Down, an annual three-day event that provides a variety of services and assistance to veterans in need. The Club also contributed money toward the food served, which included barbecued tri-tip, baked potatoes, salad, beans, fruit, and pie.
Ventura Rotary South member Gerardo Sanchez coordinated the Club's participation in the event. Others who attended and helped with the meal included Bob Braitman, Rosanna Colin and her cousin Olga Hernandez, Dante Honorico, Nils Johnson, Diane and Ed Keay, Dennis and Jeannette Longwill, Sal Saldana, Marilyn and Don Scott, and Sandy and Anne Warren. Tim Blackwell from the Rotary Club of Ventura East was also part of the team.
