Kristina Noble is the Education and Outreach Coordinator for El Dorado Disposal, the primary waste disposal company for the county. She has been with El Dorado Disposal for seven years, starting as a Customer Service Representative. As she puts, "if you want to talk trash, she will be happy to chat". Her presentation was centered on what can be recycled. Based on the many questions it was obvious that there is a lot of confusion about what we think we can recycle. For example, shredded paper and plastic bags are NOT recycled. Plastic bottles are OK, if you remove the caps. Food waste can now go into the green waste can. Kristina passed out a Residential Waste Guide and a handout on the details of recycling. Finally, she explained that over the next two years the yellow lid can will switch to blub lids statewide.
Last Monday night, we, along with our neighbors - Placerville, El Dorado Hills, and Pollock Pines-Camino Rotary Clubs - hosted an ice cream social and stargazing event for visiting students from our sister city in Warabi, Japan, at the Rotary Club of Cameron Park Community Observatory. We were delighted to have Visiting Rotarian William Smyth from Palm Desert attend and Herme Reyes from Nicaragua attend as well. Thank you to Laurie Edwards, Julie Bauer and the wonderful docents for organizing this event. A special thank you goes to Janet Yarbrough, who arrived at 11:00 AM to help set up tables and chairs, and to Denise Leach and Stewart Warner for setting up and serving at the ice cream station.
While we were enjoying ice cream and fellowship, Chief Docent Randy Hodges excitedly pointed out the passing Space Station, much to the delight of our guests. We then moved to the Art Cort Sky Theater.
Dave Sargent announced that he needs more participants for the Wine Tasting at Wine and More set for 2:30 pm on July 25th. This was an auction item from our last Christmas party. Please contact Dave for the information.
Steve Long announced that the next bike pick-up will be next Tuesday at the county dump at 10:00 am.
Don Fuller announced that Herme Reyes from our project in Nicaragua is available for part-time work and that he did a great job at the Fuller's home. He also needs help completing his temporary driver's license by volunteers driving with him.
Sid Bazett thanked those Rotarians who volunteered at this year's CSD Summer Spectacular Because of the excessive heat, attendance was done this year with only about 1,000 people.
Guests:
Emily Madrid, guest of Sid Bazett.
