A large crowd and more than 70 exhibitors turned out on Saturday, August 25, 2012 for our Second Annual ALIVE Healthcare Festival, possibly the largest health and fitness "happening" ever held in Ventura County, according to event chair Jay Berger. Thanks to the 20+ Camarillo Rotary members and spouses for volunteering at this event, which raised more than $9,000 (almost double its goal) to benefit Rotary International's End Polio Now campaign and local health care causes through our club foundation. | | Posted by Ken Eastman on Jun 05, 2012

Hundreds of kids and their parents, representing more than a dozen local elementary and middle schools, enjoyed our Hap Rapp Memorial Track Meet on Saturday, May 19th at Camarillo High School. The annual event began in 1959, and is the Camarillo Rotary Club's oldest community service project. Seven of the ten trophy winners (most points in his or her class) are shown in the photo. The Guy Craig award (a cash donation to the winning school) for best preparedness, participation and sportsmanship was won by Santa Rosa Technology Magnet School. Congratulations to Dave Drumright for chairing the event again this year, and thanks to all club members who showed up to help! | | Posted by Ken Eastman
Our 20th Annual Care for Kids Golf Classic on Monday, July 16, 2012 at Spanish Hills Golf & Country Club was a big success, as a full field of golfers teed off in perfect weather and later enjoyed a tournament dinner featuring this year's special honoree Dr. Steve Elson, CEO of Casa Pacifica Centers for Children & Families. Over the past 19 years, the Rotary Clubs of Camarillo have raised more than $1.4 million for Casa Pacifica and local charities through this great tournament. | | Posted by Ken Eastman
