Our team was pleased to join the Norco Area Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Center this morning for their Business Breakfast Roundtable.

Attendees had the opportunity to hear from Andrew Crawford, a Compliance Specialist, who shared valuable insights. Local business leaders also exchanged updates on current initiatives, upcoming events, and opportunities impacting the Norco business community and surrounding areas.

Thank you to the Norco Area Chamber of Commerce for hosting another informative and productive morning. We appreciate all that you do to support local businesses and strengthen our community.

Our team joined ElDorado National California (ENC) in Riverside to celebrate the completion of the first bus built under the company's new ownership.

This achievement represents far more than the production of a single vehicle. It marks the beginning of a new chapter for a company with deep roots in Riverside County and a continued commitment to manufacturing excellence, innovation, and job creation right here in our region.

Strong local manufacturers like ENC play an important role in our economy, providing quality jobs and helping drive growth throughout Riverside County.

Congratulations to the entire ENC team on this significant accomplishment. I look forward to seeing your continued success in the years ahead.

Our team was pleased to join NDR Therapeutic Riding Therapy Services for their Annual BBQ in Norco and spend an evening supporting an organization that changes lives through the healing power of equine-assisted therapy. The event featured live entertainment, community fellowship, and fundraising efforts to support NDR's important mission.

NDR provides valuable therapeutic riding programs that help individuals build confidence, develop skills, and overcome challenges in a supportive environment. Their dedication to serving children, veterans, and individuals with disabilities has made a lasting impact throughout our region.

Thank you to NDR Therapeutic Riding Therapy Services for the invitation and for the incredible work you do each day. We are grateful for your commitment to improving lives and strengthening our community.

Our team was proud to join MilVet, the Lake Elsinore Storm, and community volunteers at Storm Stadium to help assemble military care packages for our deployed service members.

Events like this are a meaningful reminder that even small acts of kindness can make a big difference to those serving far from home. From packing essential items to including messages of support, each care package serves as a tangible connection to the communities and families back home who appreciate their sacrifice.

Thank you to MilVet, Thunder Cares, the Lake Elsinore Storm organization, players, staff, and all of the volunteers who came together to support our military men and women. Riverside County is home to a strong and proud military community, and it is always inspiring to see residents step up to give back to those who serve our nation.

This morning, I was honored to join community leaders, partners, and local families for the Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony of the new Lakeland Village Childcare Center.

This project represents an important investment in our community's future. By expanding access to quality early childhood education and childcare opportunities, we are helping support working families while giving our youngest residents a strong foundation for lifelong success.

The new center is part of the ongoing transformation in Lakeland Village and reflects what can be accomplished when local, county, and community partners work together toward a shared vision. I am especially grateful to First 5 Riverside County and the County of Riverside Facilities Management Department for their dedication in bringing this project to life.

I look forward to seeing the positive impact this facility will have on Lakeland Village families for generations to come.

I was pleased to join Soroptimist International of Corona as they celebrated the installation of their 2026-2027 Board of Directors.

Congratulations to incoming President Cyndi Monroe and the entire leadership team as they begin a new year of service dedicated to empowering women and girls through education, opportunity, and community support.

I also want to extend my sincere appreciation to outgoing President Terry Squires and the board for their leadership and commitment throughout the past year. The impact of organizations like Soroptimist can be seen throughout our communities as they continue to invest in and uplift others.

Wishing the new board a successful year ahead as they continue making a difference in the lives of women and girls throughout our region. Soroptimist International Corona

Our team enjoyed attending the Lake Elsinore Valley Chamber of Commerce's Morning Mixer at CJ's Sports Grill & Turf Club.
