Charles "Rocky" Govert

2008 Heart of Pinal Award Winner

The Volunteer Center of Pinal County has named Charles “Rocky” Govert of Apache Junction as the first recipient of the Heart of Pinal Award.  The award recognizes an individual volunteer who best exemplifies the volunteer spirit of giving, sharing and making a difference for others in our local community.

Rocky serves as a volunteer with the Optimist Club of Apache Junction, dedicated to conducting positive service projects that bring out the Best in Kids.  He has also been a volunteer ambassador with the Chamber of Commerce serves as chairman of the board of the Main Street Program, works with the Point Program development, and in April was initiated into the Elks Club.

Untold hours of Rocky’s time are spent in planning the Annual Lost Dutchman Days event in Apache Junction, the major fundraiser in supporting the Optimist Club’s projects and services for youth in the community.

Retired from a career in sales and service, Rocky and his wife Sandra (also an active volunteer) have lived in Apache Junction for eleven years.  Together they now operate RocSan Ranch, where they find time to raise and sell miniature horses and donkeys in between their volunteer projects.
