Unity Home will soon receive a much-needed van, thanks to the incredible generosity of the community that made the 21st Soirée the most successful event in its 21-year history. The event was filled with laughter, fun, and excitement. Attendees from across the Morongo Basin savored delicious handmade desserts crafted by Rotarian baker Vickie Bridenstine and her team.

Miss Yucca Valley and court assisted with the Gift Card Mania and live auction, where auctioneer Glen Harris entertained the crowd auctioning off fantastic prizes, including a Holland America Cruise, unique artworks, murder mystery experiences, a meat smoker package, golf experiences and delightful cakes.

Event Coordinator Donna Davies announced that the Soirée made just shy of $40,000.00. That is an increase of over 30% from last year’s fun-raising effort. Donna said that their goal was to upgrade the auction items to more experiences with a mixture of quality items for the home. The Deal or No Deal case prizes were also upgraded.

Yucca Valley Sunset Rotary allocated $2,000.00 to the Miss Yucca Valley Scholarship pagent, and $3,000.00 to repair the stage used for Rotary events.
