CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE By: Jeff Fishbein Chairman of the La Quinta Chamber of Commerce

As we welcome a new year, January is a time of fresh beginnings, renewed energy, and reflection on what makes La Quinta such a special place to live, work, and do business. The start of the year brings a noticeable sense of momentum throughout our city. Seasonal residents have returned, our local businesses are bustling, and our community calendar is already filling with events, activities, and opportunities to connect. This vibrant energy is a direct reflection of the entrepreneurs, small business owners, home-based businesses, and professionals who work every day to keep La Quinta thriving. La Quinta’s business landscape continues to evolve and diversify, blending well-known national brands with exciting locally owned concepts, particularly along the Highway 111 corridor. In 2025 alone, we have welcomed new businesses such as Chick-fil-A, Daiso, The Golf Bar, Kitchen Ten Eleven, Dunkin’, Quick Quack Car Wash, Five Below, and PGA TOUR Superstore, just to name a few. These additions enhance our local economy, create jobs, and provide residents and visitors with even more reasons to shop, dine, and spend time in our city. Looking ahead, our signature events continue to showcase La Quinta on a regional and international stage. The upcoming The American Express PGA Golf Tournament brings global attention, visitors, and significant economic impact to our valley, while the La Quinta Car Show in February highlights our community’s unique character and creativity, drawing residents and visitors together near Old Town for a truly special experience. Events like these not only celebrate our lifestyle but also provide meaningful opportunities for local businesses to shine. One of our goals as a Chamber in the coming year is to continue strengthening connections across our business community. Whether you operate a storefront, a service business, or work from home, each of you plays an important role in our local economy. Supporting one another, collaborating, and keeping business local helps ensure long-term success for everyone. January also reminds us of the importance of planning and progress. The Chamber will continue advocating for a strong business climate, supporting community events, and working closely with city leadership to ensure La Quinta remains a place where businesses can grow and families can flourish. From networking mixers to educational programs and community initiatives, we are committed to delivering value to our members throughout the year. Jeff Fishbein is an International Diamond Society award-winning REALTOR® with Coldwell Banker Realty, the desert’s leading real estate firm. Renowned for representing both buyers and sellers with precision and care, Jeff has earned a 5-Star Zillow rating through exceptional service and proven results.

Mini Pizzas, Big Smiles: Culinary Kids Cook Up Fun at La Quinta Library Story by: Sherry Barkas/City of La Quinta “Who likes pizza?” “Me! Me,” the six girls, ages 5 to 7, in black aprons shouted back as they shot their hands into the air. Then they chatted and giggled with each other as they created mini-pizzas during the Culinary Kids program at the La Quinta Library with step-by-step help from Sarah Lawson, library associate, who leads the program. “It’s super fun,” said Lawson, a mother of two daughters ages 10 and 11 years old, who enjoys her job and the kids that attend the programs. In the December 1 class, the students made mini-pizzas using English muffins for the crust, spooning on sauce and sprinkling with cheese then choosing toppings they like including pepperoni, a variety of bell peppers, sliced olives and pineapple. “My favorite thing is them getting messy with it,” Lawson said. 8

The Culinary Kids classes for 8- to 12-year-olds often include different recipes or they may create the same thing but with some changes. For example, rather than use English muffins, the older students made pizza dough.

“We teach them about working as a team in the kitchen and having fun with it. If they spill something or make a mess, it’s like don’t worry about it, don’t rush to clean it up but enjoy your cooking time and we’ll clean it up later,” she said.

“With the 8- to 12-year-olds we try to keep it the same topic. Last month we did a pastry for both of them but the one we did for the (younger) kids was like an instant pudding mix and they made their own mini-banana cream pies,” Lawson said.

She also teaches kitchen safety.

“That took only 20 minutes and I knew the older kids would want something more advanced, so we ended up doing colored Rice Krispies treats and they got to do all the marshmallow melting themselves and the whole thing,” she said. Some recipes are a team effort. “With the banana cream pie, one packet (of pudding) makes so many servings so we had them pick who pours the milk and who does the powder – we try to split it up so everyone has something to do,” Lawson said.

Usually at the end of the class, kids will pitch in and help wipe things down, she said. “My first and foremost (message) is cooking should be fun,” Lawson said. Bringing Kids Together Students can eat their creations in the class or take them home for later, she said. When it came to the pizzas, they couldn’t wait to eat what they made. Five-year-old Paige Siani enjoys cooking with her mother, Heather Siani of Indio, and loves pizza. So, it was a great morning when she and her good friend, Kenzley With, attended their first Culinary Kids


A Side Lesson with Avocados Culinary Kids was started about two years ago, when parents who are homeschooling their children asked the library staff about creating some youth programs during the school day rather than after-school or on weekends. The homeschool parents were looking for something they could include in the kids’ curriculums, said Sara DeLaCruz, library branch manager. cooking class and made pizzas. The girls know each other from church and hugged when they saw each other. “We cook at home together all the time,” Janelle With said of daughter Kenzley, 5. Heather Siani learned of the program through a homeschoolers group and shared the information with Janelle With. Seated around a table creating their pizzas, the six girls chatted and giggled as if they’d all known each other for years. Each class is up to an hour long and usually has a 50-50 mix of girls and boys though on December 1 the students were all girls. Bianca Delgado brought daughters, Mia, 6, and Jimena, 5, to their second Culinary Kids class. The first time, they made small pies. “They loved it and were asking, ‘When’s the next class,’” Delgado said, adding they like to help her at home in making sourdough breads and cakes. They live in Thermal and visit the La Quinta Library often and Delgado said she learned of the program when she saw it on the calendar of events.

“It’s been a popular program,” she said. Culinary Kids crosses into other programs as well through the use of produce grown using the library’s hydroponic Flex Farm and sustainability through the library’s vermicomposting of organic waste. Vermicomposting uses red wiggler worms to turn food scraps and organic waste into compost that is used in the library’s garden. While the pizzas were cooking, Lawson taught the students about avocados – how to tell if they are ripe, the proper way to cut them using a butter knife and how to easily remove the pit by pressing the back of the avocado their thumbs. Students had a great time with the avocados, digging them out of the skins with their hands. Culinary Kids classes currently offered are for homeschooled kids but the library is planning to do a monthly class on Saturdays that will be open to ages 5 to 12. That is tentatively scheduled to start at the end of February – check the Library’s Facebook page or events calendar for dates.

“I did have a lot of kids at an outreach at Truman Elementary who mentioned they really wanted to learn cooking,” Lawson said. Program Registration Culinary Kids is one of dozens of programs offered by the library for free, including book clubs, monthly birthday parties, a Chess Club for all levels, a writing club, and more. There are programs for all age groups and skill levels with new ones routinely being added. The library offers two Culinary Kids programs, one for ages 5 to 7 years and another for ages 8 to 12, on alternating Mondays at 11 a.m. Each Culinary Kids class can hold up to 12 students. For upcoming classes, check the library’s event calendar at www.playinlaquinta. com or www.facebook.com/laquintapl/events. Preregistration is required and can be done by visiting the library or calling 760564-4767. Find a full calendar of events and more on the library’s various programs at www. playinlaquinta.com.

CITY MANAGER’S MESSAGE By: Jon McMillen, La Quinta City Manager

ears for law enforcement, helping us identify trends early and respond more effectively.” Happy New Year! I, the City Council and staff wish you all a year filled with happiness and good health. One thing I would like to encourage our residents to do this year is get involved with Neighborhood Watch, if you aren’t already. While the City’s crime rates remain among the lowest in the Coachella Valley, falling year-over-year the last three years, our public safety teams say that efforts to keep our community safe are boosted when residents and business owners report unusual activity in their neighborhoods. “La Quinta continues to be recognized as one of the safest cities in the Coachella Valley, with overall crime rates steadily declining over the past three years. This ongoing success is the result of strong partnerships between our deputies, city leadership, and most importantly our residents,” Riverside County Sherff’s Lt. Nicolas Lingle said. A key factor in this progress is the active involvement of the community through programs such as Neighborhood Watch, Lingle said. “When neighbors look out for one another, stay informed, and report suspicious activity, it creates a powerful layer of prevention that no agency can provide alone,” he said. “Neighborhood Watch groups serve as extra eyes and CITY UPDATES

“We thank the residents of La Quinta for their vigilance and commitment to keeping our community safe. Together, we will continue to reduce crime and maintain the high quality of life that makes La Quinta one of the Coachella Valley’s most secure and welcoming cities,” Lingle added. Upcoming Meetings The next Neighborhood Watch meeting is Thursday, January 22, from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. in the Study Session room at City Hall. For most meetings, the topic is chosen based on trends the City’s public safety team is seeing in the area. For example, if police notice an increase in scam calls or emails, they will focus on how residents can best protect themselves. January’s meeting will be a Code Compliance meet-and-greet, offering residents an opportunity to ask questions related to code issues. Neighborhood Watch was formed in 1972 with residents in communities across the country working together with law enforcement agencies, private organizations, and individual citizens uniting to prevent crime and improve their local communities. It encourages neighbors to get to know and look out for each other by being observant, reporting suspicious activity The project will include improvements to existing park and pool facilities.

Improvements in the pool area will continue through May. The pickleball and tennis courts will remain open throughout construction.

to the police, and implementing crime prevention techniques. The goal is to discourage and prevent crime through increased community awareness and collaboration, not by vigilante action. There are Neighborhood Watch organizations in communities throughout La Quinta.

The American Express Returns: A Bigger Spotlight on La Quinta, the Gem of the Desert Story by: GCVCC Staff As the winter sun spills over the Santa Rosa Mountains and greens up the desert landscape, La Quinta once again prepares for one of its most celebrated traditions: The American Express® PGA TOUR tournament. But this year feels different—because in many ways, it is. With the PGA TOUR schedule seeing a rare shake-up early in the season, the Coachella Valley is stepping into an even brighter national spotlight. The Sentry in Kapalua, normally a marquee opening event, was canceled in response to the drought conditions Maui has experienced. As a result, The American Express now becomes the second event of the 2026 PGA TOUR season—and the first played in the continental United States. That timing has made La Quinta’s tournament not only a highly anticipated local event, but also one of the most 22

important early stops on the TOUR’s road to the year ahead. More Spotlight, More Star Power Tournament officials say the schedule shift has intensified interest across the board—from players and sponsors to fans eager to see the TOUR’s biggest names compete under desert skies. “We are confident that high profile players will make their season debuts in the Coachella Valley,” said Tournament Director Pat McCabe, noting that early commitments already include three major champions: Adam Scott, Brian Harman, and Wyndham Clark. The field also features current top-15 players such as Sepp Straka, Ben Griffin, and Harris English, with additional fan favorites like Akshay Bhatia and Rickie Fowler joining the mix. And more commitments are expected—

proof that the world’s best golfers still recognize what locals have long known: there’s no place like La Quinta in January. Defending Champion Sepp Straka certainly agrees. “I could not be more excited to return to The American Express, a tournament that now means a great deal to me,” Straka said. “Everything about this event is special, from the world class hospitality to the remarkable golf courses. Winning this historic tournament was one of the highlights of my career and I am thrilled to return to the Coachella Valley to defend my title.” A Tournament Unlike Any Other Part of what makes The American Express a favorite—both for players and spectators—is that it simply doesn’t feel like most TOUR events. This is a tournament with personality: a


now enjoys on the TOUR calendar. Why La Quinta Is the Perfect Host For La Quinta, hosting a nationally recognized PGA TOUR event is more than an annual honor—it’s a reflection of the city’s identity.

54-hole cut, a Thursday through Saturday Pro-Am, and an atmosphere that blends world-class competition with the relaxed energy of a desert festival weekend. It’s golf, yes—but it’s also an experience. “For the 2026 American Express®… we could not be more excited to once again host some of the best players in the world,” McCabe said. Sold-Out Hospitality and High Demand Tickets That excitement is translating into early sellouts across key ticket categories. Tournament organizers report that weekly Clubhouse passes and the weekly Champions Club presented by Wealthspire have already sold out. Even more telling: Friday and Saturday Champions Club tickets are sold out as well, fueled in part by the tournament’s popular Concert Series.

recovery, rebuilding efforts, and capital improvement initiatives through its charitable arm, The Impact Through Golf Foundation.

And it isn’t only PGA WEST. With more than 25 golf courses within La Quinta city limits, the city offers something for every level of golfer—whether you’re playing your first round or chasing scratch.

Following the 2025 tournament alone, the Foundation distributed $1.1 million to local charities, celebrated during a community-focused Charity Day event— one of the tournament’s most meaningful traditions. Looking Ahead: A Strong Future in the Desert With American Express committed as title sponsor through the 2028 season, tournament leadership believes the momentum is only building. Despite shifts happening across the professional golf world, the outlook for this event remains bright—anchored by elite competition, top-tier entertainment, and the unique setting only La Quinta can offer. As the tournament moves deeper into its sixth decade, one thing remains certain: when the TOUR needs a place that delivers sunshine, excitement, and a world-class golf stage, La Quinta continues to shine.

A Legacy of Giving Back

La Quinta’s official motto, “The Gem of the Desert,” has never felt more accurate than when the world arrives to see golf at its finest. Nestled among breathtaking terrain and legendary course design, PGA WEST stands as a global icon in the sport, with a history written by names like Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, and Lee Trevino, all of whom have helped define the famed Stadium Course.When the PGA TOUR arrives, it reinforces what residents and visitors already know: La Quinta isn’t just scenic—it’s a premier destination built for golf.

Since 1960, the tournament has raised more than $67 million for charities, supporting organizations across health and wellness, education, youth and family programs, homelessness, natural disaster

This year’s weekend performances bring major crowd energy, with Old Dominion performing Friday night, followed by OneRepublic taking the stage Saturday. “The artists for this year’s American Express® Concert Series will once again get our fans excited for an incredible weekend,” McCabe said. “This is a great opportunity to introduce country music and alternative rock music fans to toptier golf, while giving our golf fans the chance to experience these worldrenowned artists.” While other ticket options remain available, officials say demand is strong— especially given the high-profile field and the increased visibility the tournament 23

VETERANS FLAGS

Story by: Sherry Barkas/City of La Quinta If you’ve taken a stroll through the Civic Center Campus lately, you probably noticed something new: banners with names and photos of La Quinta veterans displayed throughout the park. Seeing the banner with her dad Donald L. Denney’s photo flying “makes me so proud,” said Sandra Denney Martin of La Quinta. “Family from all over have come and taken pictures of themselves and the flag.” Petty Officer Third Class Donald Denney served in the United States Navy from 1951 to 1955. He was one of 20 La Quinta residents honored during the Veterans Recognition Ceremony on November 11 and whose names were added to the Veterans Acknowledgement Monuments for 2025. The banners in the park are for those 20 and will remain up through Memorial Day. “They’re nice because they put a face to the name” on the monument, said Dave Denney, one of Donald Denney’s five children and a veteran as well who served 24 years in the U.S. Army. Dave Denney’s son has 26

also served in the Army. Donald Denney, a resident of La Quinta since 2009, was excited to receive the recognition on Veterans Day but died just three days before the ceremony. Dave Denney accepted the letter from the City on behalf of his Dad and family. He was looking forward to the recognition so much that just five days before the ceremony he was getting his hair cut and picking up new prescription glasses, Dave Denney said. During the Korean War, Donald Denney served aboard the aircraft carrier the USS Boxer. The ship made multiple runs back-and-forth between the U.S. and Korea transporting equipment, ammunition and aircraft. There were times when the ship was in imminent danger and had to be moved away from areas getting hit by the war efforts and the crew was on lockdown at their stations. For Donald Denney that meant being locked down in the lower belly of the carrier where they couldn’t get out. The fear of dying inside a metal box sinking if the ship was torpedoed or hit by fire was real for his dad, Dave Denney said.

“After that (Korea), his next station was at Kodiak, Alaska, where he married my mom,” Dave Denney said. The two had been pen pals, introduced by each other’s sisters. Donald and Colleen Denney had five children together and celebrated their 71st wedding anniversary on June 5, 2025. Dave Denney, who lives in Washington, said the City’s monuments are intimate memorials that people can visit and see the names of friends or neighbors they didn’t know had served in the military. For families, they are an everlasting reminder and thank-you for their loved one’s service. The veterans honored at the 2025 ceremony and whose banners hang at Civic Center park are: • Air Force: William F. Stiles • Army: Kenneth J. Burt, Kenneth C. Camarella, Dane W. Kohal, David W. McQuade, Robert A. Millar III, James R. Schnell, and L. Alan Tibbetts • Marine Corps: John F. McSweeney III, Martin R. Morales, and Santos A. Rojo • Navy: Jack A. Crider, Donald L. Denney, Terry L. Fleming, William H. Gunnell, Francis J. Longworth, L. Darrel Mayeux, Thomas J. Plouffe, Thomas R. Plumley, and Thomas H. Sheets
