Activities:

LWV at No Kings II in Ventura on 10/18/25

On October 18th we joined the crowds at the spectacularly successful No Kings Day II, held at the Ventura County Government Center. 

Many thanks to our volunteers: Barbara Doyle, Doris Simmelink, Betti Mentzer, Cathy Trevino, and Karen Savitt, who distributed information about the League and opportunities for action.

 

LWVVC at Thousand Oaks Rotary Street Fair 10.19.25

On October 19th, we participated for the first time in the Thousand Oaks Rotary Street Fair. It was an all-day event and required many volunteers. Special thanks to Lillian and Gary Zelinski for overseeing our presence at the event. 

Volunteers included Pam Cwiklo, Marla Donley, Merrill Berge, Cathy Travino, Carol Lindberg, and Matty Park. You made the day a success. Thank you!

Saturday, November 8, 2025, 12:00-3:00pm - the Conejo Valley Community Action Fair at Conejo Creek North Park, 1379 E Janss Rd Thousand Oaks, CA 91362. This event is new to us.
