Dan Burbach - The End of the World

Posted by Ryan Mills on Nov 27, 2018

The speaker tonight was our very own, Dan Burbach. Dan is a Past President of our club and a Wealth Management Professional. He has a passion for science and gave us a "TED Talk" on how and when the last human might vanish from planet earth. It was quite intriguing and might I say one of the more interesting speakers we've had this year. Be on the lookout for exploding stars and possible aliens!

Thanks Dan!

YES!

Posted by Ryan Mills on Nov 03, 2018

YES! (Youth Empowerment Summit), is organized by the three Rotary Clubs in Simi Valley and was created to help empower young people to gain a greater understanding of issues, both personal and school related, through interaction and problem solving with peers and adult leaders. YES! hopes to create life-changers in our youth by developing effective leadership, communication, decision-making skills and strong values.

We had quite a few members from our club help to organize, facilitate, and secure the event. It's unbelievable how much these kids change in one day!

Geoff Dean, Ventura County Sheriff

Posted by Ryan Mills on Oct 23, 2018

Tonight's speaker was Geoff Dean, Ventura County Sheriff, who shared with us all the great ways the Sheriff's Department is protecting it's community. Sheriff Dean is the 19th Sheriff of Ventura County and a 40-year veteran of the Ventura County Sheriff's Office. He is a lifetime resident of California, born in Los Angeles and raised in Simi Valley. Geoff and his family are residents of Camarillo. He has been the Sheriff for the past seven years.

What he spoke about most was how technology is changing the way he runs his operations. Specifically he mentioned drones with infrared and heat cameras to catch criminals and find lost hikers, body-cams that "aid both sides of the badge," and mobile apps with facial recognition. He also made mention that if homeowners have installed Ring Doorbell (a doorbell with a camera that captures live feeds), they can utilize the footage, with permission, to help with investigations.

He later mentioned that Thousand Oaks and Simi Valley have always been the safest places to live in the county.
