Westminster Free Clinic (WFC) in Thousand Oaks would like to thank the following high school seniors for their volunteer service, as part of our medical team, serving the low-income, uninsured people of East Ventura County for the past two or more years.

They have volunteered a minimum of 300 hours, with some providing more than 1,000 hours of service. Students volunteering the most hours from this graduating class were Nathali Patlani from Newbury Park High and Nadia Safaeinili from Thousand Oaks High School.

WFC's 27 high school graduates are all attending great colleges and universities in the fall, such as UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC San Diego, Duke, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and many others.

The board, staff and volunteers of WFC wish them well in all they pursue. They believe the students' long-term commitment to the clinic and its patients is just the beginning of the great things these young people will do for their community as adults.

This year's graduates are from the following high schools: Thousand Oaks, Newbury Park, Westlake, Oak Park, Oaks Christian, Simi Valley, Royal and El Camino.

The students are: Christian Aviles, Nicole Cummings, Andrea Delgadillo, Angela Forster, Alexandra Garcia, Yesenia Lucio, Samantha McSweeney, Maria Palomino, Fatima Pantoja, Nadia Safaeinili, Rosemarie Sherbetjian, Daniel Zamora, Andrea Barragan, Erin Dixon, Aneliesse Ochoa, Fanny Sanchez, Wesley Wong, Da Young (Diana) Kim, Nathali Patlani, Mateen Saffarian, Sara Veliz, Erin Walker, Emilce Rivera, Shant Hagop, Bill Allison, Ana Castillo and Angela Garcia-Morales.
