Parker Rotarians were well represented at the second annual Charity Pickleball Tournament, held on Saturday, January 31, 2026, an energetic and fast-growing event that brought Rotarians together from across the district for a day of friendly competition, connection, and service.
Fueling the day’s energy was Parker Rotarian Zoe Romero, owner of Cencalli Taqueria, who provided delicious food for all participants. Her contribution was a highlight of the event, keeping players well fed and reminding everyone that service takes many forms, both on and off the court.
Parker Rotarians Kevin Roth and Bob Forbes took to the courts as players, joining 28 teams from Rotary clubs throughout the district.

It was a gorgeous day on December 13 for Rotarians to help at Affinity Ranch's Holiday with Horses. We helped guide people to parking places and then to the events around the ranch. As you can see, the horses were in on the holiday spirit as well! Click here for a slide show of the event.
