Today's Program
Pres elect introduced  Love preet Dhillon to do his who ami I talk..
 
Rena has often said that her favourite meeting is inducting a new member,  As an editor my favourite meeting i s when members do their Who Am I talk.
 
Lovepreet or Lovey is a computer engineer that was
educated in India,  I believe he has a MBA along with an engineering. degree.  
  Family is important and he has a younger brother , parents and a grand father still in India.
 
Iam sure there is more to the story but his now wife onceed worked for his company and she came to Canada before him.   They now have a child which has been to a few of our meetings,
 
Lovey came to Canada in 2022.   He was surprised how cold snow was.  He now enjoys Canada ane embraces Tims and Now Montannas.
 
I can tell even though he lets on he is shy he enjoys being the centre of attention.  His hobbies would be taking pictures of himself and now his child,  Crickett is something he partakes in locally.
 
Lovepreet told a great story on how he bleached his hair and didn't realize that bleach is not a conditioner,     
 
Lovepreet is adventurists and is more than happy to embrace getting a pedicure.  
 
Love preet has become wise upon his years embracing Life Lessons that include God , family and Money.  I wont expand on them but their values will make a great Rotarion/
 
If I havent mentioned it Love preet has great sense of humour.
 
Paul Codi thanked Love preet and Rena gave the official thanks.
