In this edition, our cover story features Mario Hernandez along with his dedicated team and family. After witnessing the struggles of businesses during the financial crisis of 2008, Mario identified gaps in community networking and inter-business partnerships. With remarkable foresight, he helped establish Desert United Luncheons, employing a referral technique to bridge these gaps. Explore his
inspiring life story and the enduring impact of Desert United on page 20.
From cover to cover, there is fascinating content from local businesses and nonprofit organizations, also engaging content and puzzles to add a touch of lightheartedness to your day.
