Amy Corneau, Director of Member Relations for the Simi Valley Chamber of Commerce joined us yesterday to update us on all things new at the Chamber and how they are handling COVID. They've updated their website and have valuable information about what businesses and restaurants are open during the pandemic.

 

Dr. Jason Peplinski is the Superintendent for the Simi Valley Unified School District. He came to talk to us about the school year 2020-2021 during the pandemic. This was a very important meeting to attend for so many of our club members that have children or family members attending school. Dr. Peplinksi and his staff are working very hard to answer many parents' concerns over how they will continue schooling. So far they have several options that they are weighing. With changes in regulations happening every day, it seems Dr. Peplinski and his staff are always on top of communications to families with new updates. Thank you Dr. Peplinksi for all you are doing!

 

Robert Brill, Deputy Chief at Simi Valley Police Department came to educate us on the precautions that the Simi police are using to keep both the public and the officers safe during the COVID 19 pandemic. He also informed us about the local protests and rallies that have peacefully occurred here with the cooperation of the attendees and the police.

 

We had a great turnout for one of the best meetings of the year... Our Allocations Meeting!

By the end of the Rotary Year (June 30th), our club donates all the funds we have raised from our events to local organizations and charities. This is what Simi Sunset is about--giving back to our community. We invite representatives from each organization that will receive our donation to present a small speech about what their organization does and how our donation helps.

Some of the organizations that we donated to this year:

BACA (Biker's Against Child Abuse)
Free Clinic of Simi Valley
Moorpark College foundation
Royal High School Wrestling Team
Moorpark College Athletics
