Roasting a Revered Rotarian in Capistrano Valley
The Capistrano Valley Rotary Club roasted retiring president Dr. Joe Cortese a longtime Capistrano Veterinary Clinic vet since 1973. Friends describe him as loving, funny and ever generous, who battled lung cancer five years cancer free. The demotion show at El Adobe featured jokes and skits with community leaders and Maggie Olsen producing the program. Cortese, a Citizen of the Year nominee, has served on the Chamber of Commerce board and Fiesta Association and leads Capistrano Animal Rescue Effort while Jane Diers will be inducted as next president.
