A community came together Saturday to show appreciation for its first responders. The Sunrise Rotary Club of Fort Mohave, along with the Bullhead City/Mohave Valley Association of Realtors and the Laughlin and Bullhead City chambers of commerce, hosted a first responders picnic at Mohave Valley-Fort Mohave Community Park for the second straight year. Event co-organizer Mijung Lombardi said the event was designed to show appreciation for people in public safety professions, including law enforcement and fire and rescue services. She said the picnic was conceived by Rotary members displeased with the animosity between citizens and first responders — particularly police officers — in some communities across the country.
