Cal Lutheran University Installs Large New LED Video Display to Stadium

Kingsmen fans, players and coaches will experience a new addition to game day when they head to events at William Rolland Stadium as Daktronics (NASDAQ-DAKT) of Brookings, South Dakota, has designed, manufactured and installed a new LED video display system for California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks, California.
 
The display is the largest football display in the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) and one of the largest displays in all of Division III football at 400 square feet. It will also be used for men’s and women’s soccer games as well as special events such as commencement.
 
Located in the end zone of the field, the video display measures approximately 16 feet high by 25 feet wide and features a 15HD pixel layout to provide excellent image clarity and contrast with wide angle visibility to appeal to every seat in the stadium.
 
The display is capable of variable content zoning which allows it to show one large image or to be divided into multiple windows to show any combination of live video, instant replays, game information and statistics, graphics and animations, and sponsorship messages.
 
The project was funded by donor William Rolland and Cal Lutheran.
 
Daktronics LED video and messaging display technology feature industry-leading environmental protection for a long lifetime with consistent performance and low power consumption, providing value and excitement for years to come.

Center for Nonprofit Leadership to Re-Launch at California Lutheran University

More than 200 representatives from nonprofit organizations, government agencies and businesses will attend a reception marking the official re-launch of the Center for Nonprofit Leadership at California Lutheran University from 5:30-7:30PM on Wednesday, September 7th.

The formal program featuring presentations by Cal Lutheran President Chris Kimball, center Director Dena Jenson and center Advisory Committee member Doug Green will run from 6 to 6:30 p.m.

The event will take place at the Lundring Events Center, which is inside the Gilbert Sports and Fitness on the north side of Olsen Road between Campus Drive and Mountclef Boulevard. The university’s address is 60 W. Olsen Road, Thousand Oaks.

The Ventura County Community Foundation (VCCF) ran the Center for Nonprofit Leadership for 24 years, serving more than 800 organizations annually before indefinitely suspending it a year ago. Cal Lutheran re-opened the center to again provide the training needed by the region’s charities. Jenson, who had led the VCCF center for a decade, was hired as the director.

Nonprofits constitute a vital segment of the community. In Ventura County alone, there are more than 3,300 registered nonprofits ranging from all-volunteer efforts to large organizations such as hospitals and universities. They account for $2.6 billion in annual revenue and $5 billion in assets.

The center’s primary focus will be affordable professional development workshops for nonprofit board members, staff and volunteers. More than a dozen sessions on leadership, grant writing, marketing, fundraising and board governance are already scheduled for the next few months at Cal Lutheran’s Oxnard Center. They include “Onboarding Your Board,” “Perfecting Your Pitch” and “Executive Director Essentials: What’s Keeping You Up at Night?” In addition to hands-on training, the workshops provide opportunities to network and collaborate with peers. Jenson and volunteers who are respected leaders in their fields will run the workshops.

The center provides additional resources for members online.

Funding comes from participation fees, memberships, corporate sponsorships, grants and donations.

Newbury Park Starbucks to Relocate to a New Drive Thru Location on July 14th

The Starbucks at 587 N. Ventura Park Road in Newbury Park (in the Ralphs plaza) will be closing on July 10th but will be re-opening across the street at 540 N. Ventu Park Road in the Thousand Oaks Marketplace, where Walgreens and Walmart Neighborhood Market reside on July 14th.

The new Starbucks drive thru will be opening on July 14th. Start your engines.

For those that can't go a day without their Starbucks, the sign on the door tells customers to visit the nearby location at Newbury & Kelly (in the Kohl's Plaza).

It seems like just yesterday that the Starbucks near Home Depot in Newbury Park moved across the parking lot at The Village at Newbury Park to a drive thru location. That actually took place on January 18, 2013, nearly 3 1/2 years ago!

The other Newbury Park Starbucks locations are at Reino and Kimber and at Target. www.starbucks.com/store-locator/search/location/91320

What will take the place of the vacated Starbucks? No idea at this point.
