Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians

With more than 40 vendors offering Earth Day crafts, resources and earth-saving tips, over 600 visitors to Soboba’s 17th annual Earth Day celebration on April 20 were given much to think about.

Building on its past success with solar projects at the Soboba Indian Reservation, the Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians has partnered with Scale Microgrids for a project at its Soboba Casino Resort.

Noli Indian School on the Soboba Indian Reservation hosted its 16th annual Gathering of the People on Friday, April 7, the last day of school before spring break. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. there was bird singing, horseshoe games, raffles, dancing and lots of fun activities facilitated by members of the Associated Student Body.

The seven members of the Soboba Fire Explorers recently earned their certification for completing a 24-hour long Vehicle Extrication course, which included two 10-hour days of hands-on instruction. This is the second certification they have had the opportunity to earn since the inception of the program about a year ago.

Despite rainfall rendering the Soboba Springs Golf Course unusable for the 11th annual Soboba Charity Golf Tournament, most players who had signed up to support the event were not disappointed.
