THROWBACK
Bring on summer
Memorial Day weekend officially kicks off tourist season in Carpinteria, and a packed State Beach Park can be counted on between now and Labor Day. As pictured back in 1925, a portion of today’s state park was the Fish Auto Camp, and much like today, campers from the hot interior of the state flocked to the campground in search of cooler temperatures and, of course, the World’s Safest Beach. The summer edition of Carpinteria Magazine hits the streets this week. Featured are a collection of never-before published images of Carpinteria State Beach Park‘s yesteryears. Pick up a copy of the magazine at most CVN distribution locations. To learn more about Carpinteria history, visit the Carpinteria Valley Museum of History’s website carpinteriahistoricalmuseum.org to access more articles on local history.

Girls Inc. of Carpinteria continues to put an importance on sports in girls’ lives, and to “break down stereotypes and inspire girls to pursue these historically male-dominated roles,” Jamie Collins, executive director of Girls Inc. of Carpinteria, said.

Assistant City Manager Michael Ramirez dropped by the Rotary Club of Carpinteria Morning earlier this month to introduce himself and discuss his background with city management. Ramirez, who was hired with the city of Carpinteria in December 2021, discussed his background working in Moorpark and Oxnard, and his 23 years of public service. “I am very enthusiastic about working with the Carpinteria management team and the (residents) of Carpinteria to develop projects together. (Resident) input is critical in getting the best projects possible,” he told the group. The club also recently launched a mentoring program for high school students in the area, offering students interviews with Rotarians who give advice from their respective fields. “Student participants gain rare access to professionals that are considered experts in their fields – from CEOs of global corporations to small-business owners and startup entrepreneurs,” Club member Art Fisher said. The mentoring program is coordinated by Rotary members Mary Layman and Steve Gerteis. Learn more at mentorscarpamrotary@gmail.com or by calling (805) 941-0624.
