Marvin L continued the contributions by thanking Stu for his efforts on the benches and for opening his home for the Rotary at work Day. Welcome back to Marvin and his lovely wife.  Elmer H gave the general fund a contribution for his anniversary.  Elmer also presented his "who am I".  He is a great addition to our El Cajon Rotary Club.  The happy Fives started with Ellie making us all aware of Roger's first place win car racing.  Ramona filled us in regarding her trip to Bangkok and Hong Kong. Welcome back Ramona!  Roger H reminded us of the Lions Tigers and Bears Fundraiser.  Monica Reminded us that America on Main Street is coming to El Cajon http://elcajonrotary.org/Event/eacd76aa-7504-4a04-a9af-bef8ff1cdb6d.

Our very own Rotarian Elmer Heap "talked trash" to the group. He provided us with a wonderful presentation and video on the universe of waste management.  In a riveting and fun presentation, he explained the importance of recycling.  He was also able to educate us on the vision and the tasks that need to be tackled in the future of waste management.  The group had many questions.  They were addressed and we could have spent that entire day with Elmer.

 

As a reminder, Cheryl M has graciously taking the ROTARYOWL along with her on her travels.  Please follow the owl on Intstagram and see where she is heading next.  Wherever the RotaryOwl goes she spreads the word of Rotary!  #ELCAJONROTARY #ROTARYOWL.
