Silver metal rose with a 6-inch stem and 'Caliente 88' etched on one of the leaves. This was donated by Jorge Hank Rhon, owner of Caliente Race Track, along with a gift card in Spanish that translates to 'With Compliments and Salutes'. Caliente was in Tijuana, Mexico, a San Diego Sister City. The site is now part of Grupo Caliente which includes a dog racing track, a hotel, a mall and a network of entertainment centers.
