Activities:

The Community Outreach Team participated in two very successful events in June.  We were at the Juneteenth Celebration on June 19th and at the Oxnard Pride Festival on June 28th.  Thanks to all the volunteers who distributed information about the Electoral College, the SAVE Act, and circulated the CA Clean money Petition for fair elections.  Our volunteers were Matty Park, Kay Armstrong, Maria Teran, Pam Cwiklo, Carmen Hurd, Juli Kinchla, Betsy Patterson, Laura Hernandez, Doris Simmelink, Sylvia Cohen, Jennifer Hall, Karen Savitt, Debbie Fagen, Carol Lindberg, and Betti Mentzer.  Thank you everyone! 

In addition to that, a special thank you goes to Kathy Morgan and Barbara Doyle for staffing our table at the Good Troubles Rally on July 17th.  It was loud and it was long, but they persevered! 

There are two events coming up: 
  • August 16, 2025, 11:00am-6:00pm - Ventura Pride Festival, Plaza Park, 651 E Thompson Blvd, Ventura
  • September 6, 2025, 8:30am -1:30pm - Constitution Day, Reagan Library, 40 Presidential Drive, Simi Valley

Please look for a SignupGenius for these events soon.
