Our speaker tonight was Elena Brokaw, Exexutive Director at the Museum of Ventura County. The Museum, through its collections, exhibits, educational programs and publications, celebrates the history, art, and culture of Ventura County and the Channel Islands. Elena came to speak about how the museum almost closed its doors for good and how they've overcome many obstacles to remain open. She mentioned several exhibits and the Museum's 5 year Reinvention plan. For more information about the Museum, visit: https://venturamuseum.org
Our speaker tonight was Chad Cook, Assistant Chief at Ventura County Fire Department. Chad came to speak about the recent fires in the area but ended up cutting out his presentation to talk about many different things: Hurricane relief in Puerto Rico, random fire stories, silly things that people call 911 for, and how the young crowd thinks mobile apps can open garage doors in a power outage. The discussion was VERY entertaining and we would gladly have him come back for more.

Tonight's speaker was Thomas Herdering, Director of Community Outreach for 99.1 The Ranch. As a non-profit community radio station, 99.1 The Ranch, has a goal to connect the people of Simi Valley to each other through music, local events, artists, business, and government while building citywide relationships and participation. Thomas, a Simi Valley resident for over 30 years is proud to have been with The Ranch since the beginning. Even before the FCC granted the broadcast license, Thomas has been hard at work as The Ranch’s Director of Community Outreach developing business relationships and sponsorships. Tonight he spoke on the happenings at The Ranch, how it's been gaining traction, and continuing to grow. He mentioned several partnerships, sponsors, and programs that get involved. One particular program that they are working very hard on is The Ranch Friday Night Lights -- a broadcast of all the Simi Valley/Moorpark High School Football Games. Of course, their are many ways for businesses and brands to get involved with sponsorships with this program.

Tonight we took a trip right down the road to the Iceoplex. The Iceoplex is the training center for our various hockey organizations (Mariners Youth Hockey, LA Kings High School League, Titans AAA, CSUN and Cal Lutheran college hockey). With world class trainers and coaches on staff they offer instruction in hockey, figure skating, off-ice strength training and agility, curling, speed skating, synchronized skating, and ice theater on two sheets of ice (NHL and Olympic). And it's all right here in SIMI! We got the grand tour this evening including visits to the bar, party room, gym, storage rooms, machine rooms (how the ice stays cold, etc.), and up close to the Zambonis. We learned a few things about how the ice is treated and how they keep it cold. At the end we got to skate (or at least try to skate) on the Olympic rink. Thanks Pat and Iceoplex for a great eventing.
