Centre for Art and Talk

Centre for Art and Talk To provide the perfect space for everyone to meet, speak, share thoughts or ideas, network their business and make new friends for a full hour. Ages 15-99 Also!

Ventura’s New “Vaquero Y Mar” will provide a space for people to gather together and share their ideas via monologues. We can network in person, in an inspiring environment. The venue is intimate, ideally with 6 people at (post COVID up to 6 tables) one table, each table having its own separate topic. We take turns talking for up to 5 minutes and asking a question of other speakers per hour...with

out interruption (supported by a facilitator) to complete an hour. Half hour discussions can naturally follow each hour session. This can either be done inside/outside on our patio or over a “Vaquero Y Mar” meal & drink...or at a local business venue. At the CAT, participants listen to the person speaking (wearing a mask) until it's their turn, similar in concept to an exchange of the Talking Stick from past generations. We will open the doors at noon November 19, Thursday by appointment (subject to change) and sessions will be going on onward as scheduled. Live music will play indoor/outdoor (subject to change)

Guest speakers will be regular occurrence with local and world topics. All this will take place in an art gallery setting (to be announced). We will feature several artist paintings and other art for sale and sometimes live art displays. we have an event room that sits comfortably up to 40 people for small networking seminars, art showings and community gatherings (to be announced)

Please join us for this 21st century social experience at the Centre for Art and Talk.

The one and only best choice…Think win!

Announcement of Candidacy for Reelection to the Port Hueneme City Council.

I am honored to announce my candidacy for reelection to the Port Hueneme City Council.

Serving the residents of Port Hueneme has been a privilege and a responsibility that I have approached with dedication, integrity, and a commitment to public service. During my time on the Council, I have had the opportunity to work alongside residents, community organizations, businesses, city staff, regional partners, and my fellow Council-members on issues important to the future of our community.

My decision to seek reelection reflects my continued interest in serving Port Hueneme and contributing to the work of our City Council. As we look toward to the future, I believe it is important to remain focused on responsible governance, community engagement, economic opportunity, public safety, infrastructure, and the continued vitality of our city.

I look forward to sharing more about my record of service, the issues facing Port Hueneme, and my vision and commitment to the next chapter of our community.

The High Tea experience…at The Pierpont Inn…ageless fashion.

There is a right way to spend a Sunday afternoon, and this is it. Tea & Trumpets is back at the Pierpont Inn with a full afternoon tea and a spirited brass quintet playing everything from classical to jazz standards. It kicks off our October series, and it sells out for a reason. Sunday, October 11.
