Sunday Performance Dedication NATALIE BENNETT
A long-time resident of Santa Maria, I have spent the past 16 years actively participating in the Santa Maria Elks Rodeo. My volunteering began working in the VIP tent and Coors Dance Hall and has since grown into my current role as Chairman of the Bars. I’m fortunate to lead an incredible and dedicated team of volunteers—if you’ve visited the dance hall on a Friday or Saturday night, you’ve seen firsthand how busy and energetic it can be.
Outside of volunteering, I’ve worked for the State of California for 17 years. I began at one of our local elementary schools and now serve as an analyst for Caltrans in the Maintenance Department.
Rodeo volunteering is a true family affair for us. I’m a proud mother of three children: Breanna, who helps with Mutton Bustin’; Konner, who supports the Golden Circle of Champions and jumps in wherever mom needs a hand; and Lilianna, who always makes sure everyone knows who her mom is. I am a firm believer in that the only way to do great work, is to love what you do.
