Like everyone else this year, COVID has thwarted a lot of planned Events/Fundraisers for Simi Sunset. But that doesn't mean we stop giving back and providing service above self. Especially during the Holiday season! It's time to regroup, rethink, and restrategize! People are still in need and our community still needs support. Take a look at the following projects our club completed in just the last month. If you find yourself wanting to participate, get in touch with our Club, our Club Service Chair, and/or our Community Service Chair. We are always looking for like-minded people and always available to support our community. www.SimiSunsetRotary.org

Or if you are unable to on this date, you may drop off food items at The Junkyard Cafe or City Printing at anytime. You may also call or text us and we will be happy to pick up (see the flyer for details).
Thank you and please share this.
We had our first ever Bar-Side Chat about a book that a number of our members got to read. The book of choice to start us off: Seed Folks by Paul Fleischman. It was a quick book about people coming together from all walks of life and making extraordinary things. Much like Rotary! It was great to hear different points of view. This "book club" discussion could be a trend at Simi Sunset. Even the bell showed up on Zoom!
