Tom Richardson of Penticton Hyundai is speaking to our club this Wednesday about Global Demand for Hybrid, Plug In Hybrid and Electric vehicles and how that puts a strain on consumer confidence with extremely long and unpredictable wait times.  He will speak on how so many consumers have migrated to these three choices expecting reasonable wait times but are disappointed in the wait time and still willing to hold on until the new vehicle arrives.

 

He will speak about what to consider when thinking about changing to a Hybrid or Electric vehicle and determine if it is in fact the right thing to do.  Come and join us Wednesday from 12-1 pm at the Sandman Hotel.

 

Tomorrow we have our Wheelbarrow Raffle Draw and the proceeds will be split between the Salvation Army Foodbank and the Penticton Soupateria.

Roderick Strike the President and Chair of the Penticton Community Soupateria Society will be speaking to our club about the Soupateria and his career and how it led him to Penticton.

Come out and join us at Match Eatery upstairs Wednesday, March 1st from 11:45 am - 1 pm

 

President Jon Milligan presents a cheque to Marni Adams and Liz Gomes of South Okanagan Women in Needs Society (SOWINS) for $5000 to continue our fresh start kit program for women fleeing abuse.

 

 

In 2019 we donated money to SOWINS (South Okanagan Women in Needs Society) to start their Fresh Start Kits

 

These kits are for women fleeing domestic abuse and starting again on their own.

 

The kits include start up things such as pots and pans, dishes, towels, bedding, cleaning supplies, utensils, and other things to help them have a fresh start.

 

To date our club has donated 39 kits for a value of $16694.  These kits are needed and appreciated.
