Steve pulled the 2 of spades.
Finemaster Dick asked for confessions, I paid $1 as I have a interview with OTB. Im back in action! Steve's son graduated from pre-k as did Dick kid. Congratulations! Jim's 4 some won a skin and was third in their flight at a tournament. The trivia started and our table was asked what was the shortest war in history? 38-45 minutes and England I'm assuming beat Zanzibar. We had a chance to redeem ourselves, how many years did the 100 year war last? We were wrong again its 116.Steves table is next,How long was William Harrison President? 32 days. They redeemed themselves with a easy question. Who built the 1st auto? Henry Ford.
Steve introduced our guest speaker Linda Maraszrk from the Goodwill WNY. Goodwill is celebrating 101 years and they have a rewards ceremony each year. Their main objective is to help people help themselves through job training and enter the job market as well as retain the job. Changing lives through the power of work. Donations fund this several ways. They received 9 million pounds last year! These are processed then sold at their stores as well as online where there are items that you cant find at outlets ex jewelry. shopgoodwill.com/buffalo. There are 11 locations on WNY. Employment referrals mainly come from social services. Manufacturing and tech are the 2 main fields. Please follow and like on social media as they are doing great works out there.
Very informative and hopefully we can schedule a tour of the facility.
Be safe and see you next Monday as our District Governor will be speaking.
