The Rotary Club of Puerto Peñasco Sea of Cortez was just formed in June with 20 local business leaders as the original members, yet they are already on a fast start to raise funds to help schools and the medical community in several vital areas of need.
When Jon Sharp, a computer network engineer, and his wife, Mary, a nurse at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Phoenix came down for the 2013 Super Bowl, they returned with a special momento of our little slice of paradise by the sea. While most visitors are satisfied with silver, serapes or straw hats, Jon and Mary came back with the ownership papers to a fully operational restaurant and bar business! And not just any restaurant and bar, mind you. This was the iconic two-story thatched roof establishment known at the time as Mexico Beach Bum, which had spent time under the name of Wrecked at the Reef and before that it was the La Palapa…
Jerry Cáñez was born with a passion for quality and service and knew his career was to be in the food and beverage business from an early age. Even though his love of the service industry came naturally, Jerry worked hard to earn his expertise in the culinary arts, restaurant management and organization, as well as the specialized fields of banquets and weddings. In fact, if you attended the Sonoran Resorts 3rd Annual Las Vegas Night for Charity on July 5th of this year, you’re already familiar with Jerry’s ability to put on a delicious buffet as he catered that affair…
Last year’s successful diaper and wipes drive, affectionately labeled as the Tea Party and held at Giuseppi’s Espresso Cafe on Fremont Boulevard in June netted 5896 diapers and 5488 wipes, nearly a year’s supply for the children of the Amores de Peñasco shelter—quite a feat for a first year effort. It was also a testament to the breadth of kindness by the foreign residents and loyal visitors of our little slice of paradise by the sea…
Right at 300 good hearted folks seemed to find a great excuse to come out and play on Saturday night, July 5th. It’s probably hard to find a better excuse to have fun than getting to play your favorite casino games knowing that win or lose you’re helping the city’s chief charity, DIF, the 38 year old Office of Integral Family Development…
Sometimes so much is going on in our little slice of paradise by the sea that we can’t address the many short subjects with proper attention in our blog. To handle the hodgepodge of dangling subject matter, we invented the Potpourri Page to appear on our blog site and in Jim’s monthly newsletter to cover those short subjects that deserve updates, follow-ups and reminders and keep you out of trouble, make you 46% smarter, and 11% more likely to lead the conversation in a social gathering.

There are no wrong reasons to grab a buddy or significant other and mosey on down to your favorite little slice of paradise by the sea for a weekend of fireworks, fun and friends, both new and old, a scrumptious five entrée Mexican buffet with all the trimmings in a comfortable yet classy Las Vegas style atmosphere of the beautiful Los Volcanes ballroom in the luxurious Sonoran Sky beachfront condominium resort…well, except space is limited to 300 people and the big night is this coming Saturday!
When efforts are 110% altruistic, only great goodness can result. Yes, we know that 100% is a mathematical maximum in most uses. However, the Rotary Interact Youth Groups who come to Puerto Peñasco to build houses with Families Helping Families are an exception to this otherwise hard mathematical fact.
Everyone, especially our leader, Jim Ringquist, is working diligently to organize the greatest night ever for all our supporters who participate in helping us raise money for Puerto Peñasco Charity, DIF, the 37 year old Municipal Family Assistant Fund that helps children, families and individuals with everything from medical services to rehabilitation to food boxes, student breakfasts and so much more…
