Thank you to everyone who attended the Boot Scootin' For A Cause and made this special evening so meaningful. Your support reminds us of the power of community coming together for a great cause.
A special thank you to our event sponsor, Candy Camarena and Camarena Law, for his continued generosity and commitment to community events. We are also deeply grateful to Rotarian Anand for graciously providing the venue, making this event possible.
Thank you to DJ Carlos for volunteering his time and keeping the energy high all evening, and to Dave Mariville for leading line dancing and entertaining guests with his banjo and harmonica. A special shout-out to Debbie Nidiffer, who was a star on the dance floor.
The food was outstanding. Chef Lucy prepared delicious hamburgers, potato salad, and fruit cups, while Chef Vijay and Chef Rita Noronha generously donated and prepared flavorful Indian cuisine enjoyed by all.
We were honored to welcome Assistant Governor Annette, members of the Rotary Clubs of San Luis Frontera, Sunrise, Fort Yuma, Yuma Crossing, Yuma Territorial, and San Luis Rio Colorado del Desierto, friends from across the border and many members of the Yuma community.
Special thanks to our hardworking committee members—Rita Noronha, Jane Mendoza, Thelma Jeanette, Ruth Brockington, and Fatima Smith, for their dedication and countless volunteer hours. We also appreciate Lupita Ortega and Rita Rivera for warmly greeting guests and managing registration, and President-Elect Binh for capturing memorable photographs of the evening.
We gratefully acknowledge the generous support of Ruben Walshe (La Bodega Restaurant), Javier Campa (Asadero Campas Restaurant), Mike Suba, Ruth Brockington, Rita Noronha, Jane Mendoza, Mike Lundy, and Lamont & Pilar Thompson. Their contributions helped make this event possible.
Finally, thank you to all the Rotarians who worked throughout the evening and stayed afterward to help clean up. Your commitment to Rotary’s motto, “Service Above Self,” was evident in everything you did.
Here are the photos from the event for all.
