Our newest “Green City” was led by PE Director Rodney Williamson and the team was treated as honored guests by the Mayor and Ministry of Tourism. The hospitality was exceptional and the volunteers were treated to dinners, parades and television appearances. LA County veteran Bruce Moncrief joined 6 Newport Beach Lifeguards, Greg Nadal, Bret Winners, Greg Meyer, Paul Collier, Mike Newmaster and Justin Skaggs to train 16 lifeguards from Esmeraldas and Atacames. Monica Williamson also helped the team.
