The site was created 4 1/2 years
ago as a service to the community. It is maintained by
Eric Madrid MD , a family doctor in Temecula, CA. ( www.ranchofamilymed.com )
and his wife Whanda who operates www.eHealthSupplies.com
. Whanda has her Bachelor's of Science Degree in Health
Care Administration and she is a law student at the
University of Aristotle College of Law-Temecula. Eric Madrid is
a graduate from UCLA and Ohio State University School of
Medicine and practices as a Family Physician. Eric and
Whanda do this site in their spare time as a service to the
community of Menifee.
Dr.
Madrid, goes to Hinche, Haiti (with other
Physicians through the Haiti Endowment Fund) and
provides free healthcare and medicines to the
impoverished once a year. In 2007, Eric
Madrid (chairperson) and Whanda Brown Madrid
(Sponsorship Chair) helped organize and
participated in the 2nd annual Relay for Life in
Menifee, which raised money for the American Cancer
Society. They were also involved in the 3rd Annual Relay
which raised over $20,000 for the American Cancer
Society. The 4th relay will be May 30, 31st of
2009 and they are participating and forming teams to
help raise more than the previous
years.
Eric and Whanda
currently are on the school site council committee for
SouthShore Elementary. Whanda is actively involved with the PTA
and volunteers as team mom with her kids sports
activities. They also run the City of Menifee Facebook
account which has over 1000
residents.
They feel
it is their civic duty as new Menifee residents to
inform future residents about the community by listing
information on schools, daycares, health care facilities,
real estate, crime rates and much more. This information
was not readily available on any sites in
2005.
Menifee24/7
created by Steve Johnson, was the only community blog
that informed residents about Menifee news. Eric also
blogs on the site. When Eric and Whanda moved
to Menifee they searched various sites to find
pertinent information pertaining to Menifee businesses,
schools and shopping. It was time consuming and
sometimes difficult to find. So they created
cityofmenifee.com to provide this information so
others would not have to encounter
this.
They
are happy and proud to know that they have helped
so many living in this great city. They have
received over thousand plus emails from people living in
Menifee and people wanting to make Menifee their home.
Eric and Whanda allow people to advertise their business
for free. They are here to help Menifee grow, to
inform and share news.
