Tony Pedroza has been a member of our club since June 2010 and is the Sales Manager of Tucson Recycling and Waste Services. He has been with TRWS since his retirement in 2000 from Tucson Fuel, and he is also a US Army veteran. Family is very important to Tony. Tony and his wife, Sharleen, have been married for twelve years. Tony has two lovely daughters, Jennifer and Alexandra, and five grandchildren. Tony is an honorary lifetime member of Optimus International.
Tony is one of those Rotarians who gives so much to our club but you never hear much about him - he is hard-working and humble. From August 1st to the end of October, Tony spends much of his free time helping our club prepare for the car show. Some of the tasks that Tony does for the Car Show are:
- Works with Chula Vista Landscaping to clean up & maintain the field at The Gregory School
- Obtains all the radios for the event
- Acquires and maintains all golf carts
- Set-up and maintenance of onsite back-up generators
- Acquires and services all portable potties during the show
- Takes care of the trash during set-up, day-of show, and clean up
We are thankful to Gary Scheer for getting Tony involved with the car show. Tony has enthusiastically taken on the dirty jobs the rest of us would rather not do.
Tony also keeps the Club office up and running; assisting the staff with repairs and maintenance. Tony is the “Go To” guy when pictures need to be hung, furniture needs to be moved, locks need to be repaired, and boxes need to get to storage. He is always ready to lend a hand whenever it is needed, and it is so appreciated.
Tony truly enjoys his time with Rotary. He enjoys the fellowship and learning about other club members' life experiences. Tony feels Rotary has been a life-changing experience for him and has helped him to view the world differently for the better.
