Happy Bucks
Scott Vetter collected loonies (referring to the coin not the members) as we shared out thoughts of happiness and gratitude. (Seems there is a price for happiness, fortunately it's only a buck.)
50/50
President Joan Hunter gave 100% as she handled the 50/50. Our guest speaker Karen Cayer had the lucky ticket but found a Jack wile looking for Joker (usually the other way around).
Guest Speaker - Karen Cayer, Keller Williams - Ottawa 4 You Real Estate Team
Karen gave a very informative and engaging presentation on the Ottawa real estate market.
She also presented the warm and giving culture of Keller Williams, highlighting the work done with Mega relief last summer. It was a lively and much appreciated presentation, showing how corporate organizations can successfully incorporate caring and giving in competitive and profit-oriented industry.
