The soon-to-be-opened Mesa Farm facility in Ojai welcomed the Rotary Club of Ojai West to tour the campus and meet with the staff. 

This organization will work with youths 18-24 years of age in helping them transition from troubled childhoods into better adulthoods. The facility is initially planning to house 12 deserving young adults at a time.

Nordhoff High School Senior Aidan McPherson-Dike received the Student of the Month honor for March 2024 at a recent meeting of the Rotary Club of Ojai West. Aiden's mother Amber and his grandmother Julie McPherson attended the ceremony. Presenter Jim Halverson noted that Aiden's grandfather, Pat McPherson, was a member of our Club. Aiden was nominated for this award by his autoshop teacher Mr. Fender. Fender nominated him because he is an over achiever with so many of his courses, including coming in early to get better at welding. He also participates in basketball, and overall is very motivating and a leader in the classroom. He hopes to go to Cal Poly in Agriculture Business.
