What do you do when there are two worthy events scheduled for the same time about a mile and a half apart? Attend both of course. ☺
The Elks Lodge held their 18th annual scholarship dinner, where thirteen local youths received college scholarships that totaled more than $10,000.
The funds are raised at the Elks annual Christmas Tree Lane event.

How inspiring it was to watch our future leaders accept scholarships to help them with their schooling, and watch them all tell about their future plans.
From aspirations to teach at the local high schools, to chemical engineering, it was quite a sight watching them beam with enthusiasm as they told the audience of their future dreams.

About a mile and a half to the southeast, there was a casino night fundraiser taking place to help fund the local Little League's season.
It was a packed house over at the Corporate Room as the people enjoyed a full evening of fun, and dinner, for the entry fee of $25. There were blackjack tables, roulette, craps, and other poker games to be found too.

| The raffle table had at least a dozen different things to win. |
The league, in it's fourth year back, is sowing the seeds for a great league for years to come.
This year's TOC (Tournament of Champions) will be in Wildomar. Marna O'Brien Park will be the spot for many high caliber games throughout June and July.

I have to tell you, I'm proudest of my life off the court. There will always be great basketball players who bounce that little round ball, but my proudest moments are affecting people's lives, effecting change, being a role model in the community.

Wildomar Rap tip of the day:
Bouncing a ball is fine, but helping others bounce the ball is even better.
