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.

He was also happy for the 1000 smiles trip and helping all the children. He was saddened by the loss of his pet, "Buttercup".
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.
