PAUL'S MAGIC SHOW HAS A NEW HOME
Our former member Paul Dwork was legendary as the creator of our annual "Rotary Creates Magic" show that presented world-class magicians from the Magic Castle and benefited our club foundation. Paul moved to Encinitas, CA a while ago to be closer to family, and joined Encinitas Rotary. Now, he and that club will be presenting the show on March 4, 2023 at the Carlsbad Arts Center Theater. Paul asked us to pass the word in case some of you might be interested in attending. Here is a direct link for buying tickets: Rotary Creates Magic / Encinitas You can also reach Paul at paul@magicmagicmagic.com

As part of the team of local health care providers who comprise the Ventura County Community Health Improvement Collaborative, George will expound on their findings. Also scheduled: a Craft Talk from Becky Spring.
11/9 Emily Halpin
Everyone deserves a place to call home. It is a human right and the first step towards recovery after a disaster.

ShelterBox delivers the essentials families need to begin rebuilding their lives after disaster. Also scheduled: a Craft Talk from Larry Lerner.

11/30 Emily Fairfax
Dam! Join us to hear Assistant Professor of Environmental Science and Resource Management at CSUCI, Emily Fairfax speak about her favorite topic--beavers! Beavers build dams, dig channels, and change small streams into broad wetland areas.
