The weekly accumulator draw this week was for $11.00. Hal Brownlee drew the Queen of Diamonds. Guest Speaker: Our guest speaker, Marcelo Cano, was introduced by Ron Miller. Marcelo spoke about what it was like coming to Canada from Argentina many years ago with very limited English. He did various jobs during his early career. He spent most of his career in Pest Control. He retired a few years back but after a couple of years decided that he wasn’t ready for retirement so he opened his own Pest Control business called Cano Pest Control. He likes the idea that he can now give his customers great service and does not have to follow guidelines sat out by larger companies. Don Fletcher thanked Marcelo for coming to talk to us.
