On Tuesday June 26th seven local residents met at the Hacienda Restaurant in the Plaza Inn to discuss the re-formation of a Rotary Club in Puerto Peñasco. It was the San Luis Club that sponsored the original Rocky Point Rotary Club back in 1978. It was disbanded about five years ago, but the three tenured San Luis Rotarians with obvious experience is such matters were visibly enthusiastic about assisting the resurrection of a new club.
Luis Garrido of Outta Town Productions fame came to town over the weekend with his new wife, Karen to put together the logistics for their InSANDity! Ultimate Challenge to take place on the beach in front of the Sonoran Spa and Sonoran Sea Resorts on October 6 and 7, 2012. The InSANDity concept is taken from the wildly popular team building obstacle and challenge courses being attended by thousands of Americans every week throughout the U.S. Luis’ concept is unique because the course will be built entirely on the beach and will suitably challenge a family or group of friends of varying degrees of fitness.
After being lured away for two and a half years to Mazatlán, Bobbie recently returned to her beloved Puerto Peñasco and has found her “dream job”, calling Director of Sales and Marketing, Jim Ringquist, “the best manager I have ever worked with.” She’s also quick to add that the quality of the Sonoran Resort Condominiums is “something we are all proud to represent.”
Families Helping Families and 180 Youth from Utah Rotary Club Build Three Homes—In Four Days! The first summer 20 kids raised enough money to pay for their trip and donate towards the expense of building a home. The second year the number of young service-oriented Rotarians totaled 70 motivated participants. By this year, the third year of the program, through mostly word of mouth among the youth organizations the number of youngsters more than doubled to 180, plus group leaders, chaperones and parents for a total of 240 people.
The group, ranging in age from 13 to 20, arrived on Sunday the 10th of June and on Monday went to the site that consisted only of stacks of block, bags of concrete, tools and three concrete foundations. Ralph and Jared had previously contracted to have the supplies and foundations ready for the group so they could begin immediately on the miraculous job of completing three 1,000 square foot homes, including the roofs, window and interior framing by the following Thursday— that’s four days!.
When Roger Clyne brings his musical clan to Rocky Point for the annual Circus Mexicus concert and three day celebration of life, rock and roll and good times on the beach, it is also a time when the goodness of his fans is clearly defined with charitable action that includes fundraising and donations to help the needy children and families of our beloved beach side paradise.
If you were near Sandy Beach on Saturday June 2nd, you couldn’t have missed the veritable crowd of people all decked out in sea blue T-shirts with a row of flowers surrounding the words “Reay 2012”. The “clan” has been coming to Puerto Peñasco for 40 years and holding their family reunions on Sandy Beach for 20 of those years. As the family grew, about six years ago they all—all 47 of them—decided to fix the date of the first weekend in June for the festivity.
On Sunday May 27th, our good friends, Mark and Barb Olszewski of the Adopt-a-Classroom (http://www.rockypointclassroom.com/ ) local Puerto Peñasco charity organization, took 20 generous contributors 27 miles southeast of Puerto Peñasco to Isla San Jorge (known locally as Bird Island) for some snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking, bird and sea lion watching.
Where else can you get $300 in chips for one $30 ticket (or $600 in chips for $50 and two tickets) and a chance to compound the value by winning at Black Jack, Roulette, or Texas Hold ‘em? Then, let the fun begin because at the end of this wonderful night of games, food and a cash bar, you’ll be able to bid on dozens of great prizes that have been cheerfully donated by our many generous businesses here in Rocky Point.
If you’re a RCPM fan, it’s a good bet that you still remember the details of your first encounter with this group of Rocky Point Rock ‘n’ Roll Royalty because they do know how to throw a party!
