It was such a pleasure to go the El Cajon Citizen of the Year luncheon on Monday. In looking at the nominees it is amazing all of the wonderful people in El Cajon that contribute so much to this community. And after reading and hearing about this year’s recipient Operating Principal and Broker/Owner of Keller Williams Realty Joe Garzanelli and the work that he has done for El Cajon and East County over the past 40 years, there is no doubt that he deserves this recognition.
I cannot tell you how thrilled I am with our Best of East County Reader’s Poll celebration coming up next week on Feb. 8. This has been a record year for votes, all have been tallied and the winners, both Gold and Silver have been notified. Being the second year in having a celebration of the winners and our community leaders getting together to hail our 2017 stars, we learned a lot and have a wonderful evening of fun for everyone to enjoy.
