BENEFITS OF GAMING: Gaming revenues have benefited our tribe and community in various ways. Our members are able to provide for not only their immediate families, but many other family members as well. We’re able to provide medical assistance, along with educational help. We’ve seen a few of our members not only go to college, but graduate with degrees, which helped them along their life journey. Our tribe is a big believer in the community. We do our best to provide assistance to many different organizations in the east end of the Coachella Valley.
GOALS & INITIATIVES: As a tribe, we have quite a few different goals. Our members going for higher education is a big goal. We know that our youth are the future, so knowledge is vital. Our tribe is also very big on having enterprises outside of the casino. Being self-sufficient is big for our growth and our future. We are also very mindful of our employees, so providing the best job experience is key.
LEGISLATIVE: At this point, there aren’t any political issues that we’re looking at. We do our best to take it one day at a time and focus on our business.
