 Our trivia of the day was about the Beatles. What was the last song John Lennon played to a paid audience? I saw her standing there.

Which Beatle crossed Abby road first? John Lennon

The Beatle song that was written for Mia Ferrows sister? Dear Prudence. We didn’t get any of those correct but Jim asked additional questions and Tim got one right, for the wrong table though.

Larry introduced our speaker John Hanover from Wheels for Workers 716 connects local refugees with jobs. Definition of a refugee is someone that fears for their life and flees their country.

Johns organization refurbish bikes to donate to the new arrivals as most do not have any form of transportation. Three ways to help are 1-donate a bike 2-donate money and 3- donate time. 350 bikes were refurbished and delivered so far. It takes about 7 hours to make repairs on each one.

Lets help them out as these our future employees.
