DENVER, CO -- J. Patrick Butler, owner and managing partner of Denver-based Club Acquisition Company (CAC) recently
received the 2006 Ejecutivo Distinguido (Distinguished Executive) Award for his contributions to the community
of San Felipe, Mexico, home to one of his two Mexico developments, El Dorado Ranch.
The award, which is given to one person each year is an incredible honor for the recipient. Presented by the Asociación

C.A.), the 2006 Ejecutivo Distinguido honor is awarded based upon community involvement and support of the economic
development of San Felipe, part of the municipality of Mexicali. In the association's 47-year history, it is only
the third time the award has been given to a foreign (non-Mexican) business person.

of San Felipe is like a family to me and this award is truly an honor."

jobs, support for local education, sports and ecology. Additionally, Butler has established a sales office in Mexicali,
exclusively for the national market and the Hispanic market in the United States.
Butler and El Dorado Ranch continue to contribute to the economy of San Felipe and Mexicali through numerous educational
scholarships and grants, as well as a charity celebrity golf tournament benefiting the San Felipe de Jesus School.

local baseball, softball and American football teams.

include preservation of fresh water supply throughout El Dorado Ranch, using high salinity water to irrigate the
paspalum grass golf course, relocating existing plants and flora and maintaining a safe habitat for local, indigenous
animals.
