From youth and high school sports to civic clubs to organizations to helping the elderly like Alliance on Aging and Hospice to business organizations like Chambers of Commerce, Casey Printing is involved in trying to make our communities a better place to live and work.

In addition to our local efforts, we’re also involved in international philanthropic activities as well. A perfect example of that is our involvement in developing an ongoing program with Rotary International to supply medical equipment to the General Hospital in Mexicali, Mexico, which is in dire need of proper medical equipment.

Located in an impoverished area of Mexicali, this hospital is the last hope for the injured and ill who have little or no money. Working with other Rotarians, healthcare representatives, hospitals, clinics and extended-care facilities throughout California, company president Rich Casey (an active Rotarian) has developed a network of people and organizations to gather new and used medical equipment to send to Mexicali.

Using empty Casey Printing trucks that are continually returning from deliveries around the state, drivers pick up medical equipment and haul it back to a King City warehouse, which is generously donated by a fellow King City Rotarian.

Once we get full truckloads, actually large tractor-trailer-type loads, we call local trucking firm Meyer Equipment, who has generously donated the haul to Calexico each year. In Calexico the donations are collected by a group of hardworking Rotarians from the Rotary Club Industrial of Mexicali, who make sure the equipment gets delivered to the hospital.

Gayle Potts is a busy woman. Along with being a member of Casey Printing’s customer service team, Gayle is very involved in the local community. One of the things that she loves to do is to volunteer in her grand son Nick’s classroom. Nick is a 2nd grade student in Bea Tice’s class at Santa Lucia school in King City. Twice per week, she takes time off of work to volunteer in the classroom. Gayle says “It really is an honor to have the opportunity to be able to do this. My grandson thinks it’s pretty cool.” She also commented “It keeps me up on new math skills too. I just learned how to do touch math…2nd grade is intense.” When asked how long she would continue to perform this much needed volunteer work, Gayle said “I’ve been working in his classroom since he’s been in kindergarten, and will continue as long as he wants me to.”
