They have so many activities for kids and adults. The staff is second to none. The leadership is the best in the business. I’ve been very fortunate to be a part of this organization and attend many events.

I was part of a large gathering of area Oil/Gas Producers and Community Partners to discussion Mental Health & Suicide Prevention today. I can say that after meeting in person and many phone calls/emails/messages prior to today the day was a huge success. I worked and coordinated directly with Taneeka Johnson (Event Coordinator), Vastie Castellano (Event Manager) and Shelly Hopkins (Catering). Everything was transparent and upfront from day one. All of my expectations were not only met but were exceeded. The event Support Staff had a big task of setting up tables and chairs in 3 areas as well as chairs for 2 breakout sessions. Ms Castellano met with me first thing this morning (around 0630) to ensure everything was ready and was amazing to work with from start to finish. If you have large events planned and are looking for a venue that can/will meet the needs while not breaking the budget, I highly recommend reaching out to RRC. Their caring and professional staff will reduce your stress and will go above and beyond to ensure you are successful. Thank you for all the help and assistance.
