Mardi Gras Fundraiser!
RECORD BREAKING SUCCESS WITH ROTARY VENTURA SOUTH
Pleased to announce that the Mardi Gras Fundraiser sold out with record breaking attendance! Proceeds of over $50,000 were generated for Turning Point Foundation! The generous donations for the live auctions, silent auctions, from sponsors and from attendees overflowed with giving. We cannot thank Rotary Club of Ventura South enough for being our friends & partner for this epic event to succeed. Special thanks to John & Linda Zaruka for use of The Tower Club + all their incredible contributions towards both Rotary and Turning Point at this event. Special thanks also to Breanna Goodner and her team of volunteers from the Ventura College nursing program. Plus the volunteers and attendees from both Turning Point and Rotary!

With that said, the best photos we can share to sum all this up are below. This was the idea of our very own Amanda (Turning Point's HR Manager). It was painted with care for the Mardi Gras live auction by clients from our New Vision Rehabilitation Center (which provides an amazing support program to help those experiencing severe mental illness). This special wheelbarrow (restored and provided by Growing Works!) was filled with good “spirits” both inside and out. It sold during auction for $1500 to the highest bidder!

Another Bob & Mary for Us to Thank!
Thank you Bob & Mary Davis for organizing & hosting March's "First Wednesday" at Copa Cubana. Also to the sponsors and attendees! $2265 was raised thanks to everyone there.
