I’m very honored to be here today to talk about opportunities that we are here to create for our people opportunities for self-fulfillment, self-sufficiency, self-advancement and for employment. It takes all of us to build a business and to create this. And everything we do here on the board is for you. “It is and always will be for our people. “As you know, the most important aspect of the Soboba EDC is its pursuit to create a diversified business portfolio,” she said. SEDC Board Vice Chairwoman Becky Flores was overwhelmed by the strong turnout for the celebration. Castello then recognized former SEDC board member Lori VanArsdale for being instrumental in getting the project up and running as well as for her efforts over the years. The Inter-Tribal Bird Singers shared a couple of social gathering songs and were joined by several bird dancers.
“So, I pray that every visitor who comes to Roadrunner Express will be taken care of, receive their good luck and leave here happy on their trails,” she said. After a blessing by Soboba Tribal Council Secretary Monica Herrera in her Luiseño language she shared that she was always told that when you see a roadrunner, it is good luck or a blessing for your day.
