"A Walk in the Park"
Members of the
Rotary Ojai-West club invited their neighbors, friends, and supporters to a
celebration of a job well done.
The evening began with a reception and speeches at nearby Ojai Ford. The firm had been a major supporter of the project by matching financial donations from other citizens in the closing months of the park fund drive. Click on any of the thumbnails below to see a larger image...
Ojai West President Jack McClenahan thanked those who helped to carry the project from an idea to a beautiful reality. It was long list that included our partners in government, the club members who contributed their time and sweat and technical knowledge, and local artists.
Rotary West Member and champion fundraiser Dr. Jim Halverson thanked others who contributed funds to the project. Thanks to his relentless work and their generosity, he was able to add the last missing piece to the contribution wheel. The Rotary Community Park project was accomplished entirely through private donations and gifts-in-kind.
President McClenahan then invited attendees to Walk in the Park, and hear more remarks at the park shelter.
Former Mayor/City Council Member Joe Vito spoke to the crowd gathered at the park shelter. He gave a history of the park, and acknowledged CalTrans support for the Intermodal Transportation Project, and the Ojai Rotary clubs for their community service.
