On behalf of the Rotary Club, thank you everyone for their generous support of our Annual Rotary Golf Tournament held on May 30, 2026. This community's support played an important role in making this event a success, and Rotary is truly grateful for your commitment to our community service organization and the Fallon community. Rotary hopes to have your continued support for next year's golf tournament on June 5, 2027.
This year Rotary's event sponsors were the City of Fallon, Stockman's Casino, Mackedon, deBraga & Rowe Law, Depot Casino, Synectic Solutions, and Tedford Tire. The 18-hole sponsors were Financial Horizons, Huck Salt, A&K Earth Movers, Banner Health, Lixo Photo, Lane Mills, Joe and Chelsea Sanford, Charlie and Carol Arciniega, City Council person Karla Kent, CC Communications, Dr. Stu Richardson, Hampton Young, Tim Mayo, Berney Realty LTD, Darrell Hook, Steve and Dana Endacott, John Hill, and Ted Williams. Rotary also received raffle items from Courtyard Cafe, Dandelion Express, Ambiance Salon, Kent's Supply Center, Drs. Robertson and Koenig, Fallon Paiute Shoshone Tribe, Tedford Tire, Frey Ranch, and many more community supporters.
The winning golf team this year was from Tedford Tire with golfers Sharp, Henke, Fillmore, and Gelineau. The second-place team was from Churchill Sheriff's Office with golfers Sheriff Orozco, Sweeney, Kufalk, and Pasqual. The Women's closest to the pin was Jamie Davis and Men's closest to the pin was Eli Jones. The Men's longest drive was Eddie Gelineau and the Women's longest drive was Dawn Clark.
This year's golf tournament raised approximately $8,000.00. Proceeds from the tournament directly support many of Rotary’s signature community service projects and educational initiatives. Through the generosity of community supporters, Rotary was able to provide four $1,500 merit-based higher education scholarships each year, distribute free dictionaries to every third-grade student in Churchill County, serve as the charter organization for Cub Scout Pack 38 and Boy Scout Troop 1776, and award two scholarships annually for local high school students to attend the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) leadership camp.
The generosity of community supporter also helps fund student competitions in music and public speaking, our Senior Christmas Drive that provides thousands of essential items to homebound seniors, Rotary’s annual Rotarians at Work Day dedicated to improving local public spaces, and special community projects such as installing a shade structure at the Cottage School and providing new soccer goals for local AYSO fields.
The success of these programs depends on the partnership and generosity of community-minded supporters. The golfers and sponsors who participated in the golf tournament fundraiser helps Rotary continue its mission of service above self and enables us to make a meaningful difference in the lives of our neighbors.
Thank you again for helping Rotary strengthen our community. Rotary sincerely appreciates your support and looks forward to partnering with you again in the future.
With gratitude,
\The Rotary Club
