Pam Valdez, who is the group’s current vice president, said they had barely started planning out events for the year when she was elected in January 2021 before things had to be canceled or postponed. “I’m thankful that we can go places again,” she said. Rachel Miranda said she’s looking forward to staying healthy in 2022 and attending more gatherings. She used to like taking the many trips the group planned but continues to enjoy the events that are closer to home.

Marian Chacon said she doesn’t usually make new year resolutions but is looking forward to things improving and getting together with the group again. “This has been our most well attended event all year,” Erica Schenk, who serves as coordinator for the Soboba Elders group, said.Ībout 60 elders participated in a recent outing to a Temecula winery for dinner and games. There were prize raffles and a photo booth to keep everyone engaged throughout the event and each guest received a 1-pound box of See’s candy. Soboba Elders and their guests were treated to a choice of chicken, roast beef or salmon accompanied by mashed potatoes, a variety of vegetables, a wide array of salads and a bottle of wine to toast the new year.

Luis “Lou” Pizarro of the television show “Operation Repo” offered comedic relief as the night’s master of ceremonies. From 3-7 p.m., about 100 guests were entertained by the rhythm and blues band Sly, Slick & Wicked, DJ Mike Nevarez and Aalon, a soul group formed by lead singer and guitarist Aalon Butler. SAN JACINTO – The Soboba Casino Resort Event Center was full of music, laughter and good cheer as Soboba Elders were invited to ring in 2022 with a dinner party Wednesday, Dec.
