Cathedral City Police
and Fire Receive Donations
The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians gave donations
to both The Cathedral City Fire and Police Departments. The Fire department
received a $100,000 donation – the largest single donation awarded this
year. The donation has been earmarked to replace self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) throughout the department. The department will purchase 40
SCBA units that include Pak Tracker firefighter tracking locators, Talk
Around communication systems, three Rapid Intervention Paks and three Pak
Tracker locator handheld receivers – one for each front line engine.
Purchasing these new SCBA’s will ensure each firefighter has updated safety
equipment, replacing aging models.
The Police Department received donations totaling
$52,000: $5,000 for the Citizens on Patrol program, $5,000 for the K-9
program, $2,500 for the Explorer Post, $5,000 for the Reserve Officers
program, $5,000 for off-road vehicle enforcement, $10,000 for the SWAT team,
and $ 20,000 for the department’s Character Counts program – a youth
oriented character education program that is based on basic values, called
the Six Pillars of Character: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility,
fairness, caring and citizenship.
Both departments extend their gratitude to the Agua
Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians for its generous gifts.
SPLASH to Perform at
Fountainworks
Cathedral City’s signature event, Fountainworks, will be
held July 3rd in Town Square – not all that far in the future. The Marketing
Committee selected SPLASH to be the main entertainment for the event. The
group is made up of 10 musicians including three female and one male
vocalist. Billed as glitzy, high energy entertainment the group has been
featured at the Mirage Casino in Las Vegas and played for the official
Academy Awards, Grammy and Super Bowl parties. They are also a Disney
favorite. SPLASH performs a variety of styles of music that will appeal to a
broad audience.
The Marketing Committee is looking for Fountainworks
sponsors that will both let local businesses be recognized at this positive
event and help defray the cost of the event. Sponsor levels are $500,
$1,000, and $2,000 all with significant acknowledgement. There is also a
$7,500 key sponsorship level. If you know of any businesses who might like
to sponsor Fountainworks please contact Allen Howe at 770-0396.
Also the City is looking for beverage, food, ice cream
and other vendors for the event. Contact Lynn Mallotto for a vendor
application at 770-0346.
