 Five business professionals and a Rotarian from South Korea recently visited Camarillo as part of the Rotary Foundation's Group Study Exchange (GSE) Program. The exchange is an opportunity for young professionals who are not Rotarians to travel to another country so they can learn how their vocation works in that country and also act as goodwill ambassadors.
In addition to attending a meeting of the Camarillo Rotary Club, the group's local activities included visits to the Camarillo Premium Outlets shopping center, the Commemorative Air Force exhibit at Camarillo Airport (see photo), and other Ventura County attractions, as well as other area Rotary Clubs and the Rotary District 5240 Conference in Carpinteria.

Five years ago, the Rotary Club of Camarillo pledged $25,000 to support the new Camarillo Library. That pledge has now been completed, and the final $5,000 installment was presented at a special club meeting held at the Library on August 17th.

Our 19th Annual Care for Kids Golf Classic on July 18th was one of our best tournaments ever, with great weather, good food, lots of fun and plenty of terrific silent and live auction items. Best of all, the Classic helped raise funds for an outstanding cause—the children of Casa Pacifica. The Rotary Clubs of Camarillo have made a long-term commitment to support Casa Pacifica, and have raised more than $1.3 million since the tournament began 19 years ago. Thanks to everyone who took part as a sponsor, player, or volunteer—we couldn't have done it without you!

 The Camarillo Rotary Club recently donated 6,500 pairs of reading glasses to a remote agricultural tribe of villagers living in northern Thailand. “These glasses are for (those) people who are not fully integrated into the Thai economy and don’t get a lot of services,” said Club President Max Copenhagen, who spearheaded the project. “They’re excited to get these because they can learn how to read and learn how to do other handiwork.”
The club partnered with the Chiang Mai North Rotary Club in Thailand to deliver the eyeglasses and worked with Rotary International and the Rotary Club of Fillmore to fund the project. Camarillo Rotary purchased the eyeglasses as kits through Vision Quest, a project started by the Rotary Club of Iola, Kan. The $250 kits include all that is needed to assemble 314 pairs of reading glasses.
The kits are sent to Rotary members throughout the world. Each Rotarian will train an individual from the village being helped to make the glasses. The goal is to create jobs and income for small, rural villages such as those in northern Thailand. | | Posted by Ken Eastman on Jun 22, 2011
