David Askew receives a Paul Harris Fellowship Award on behalf of Askew's Stores at our club's annual Christmas Dinner on Friday 6 Dec. Past District Governor Jeff den Biesen, in presenting the award to Askew's Stores, commented on the commitment this local business has to 

the communities of Salmon Arm, Sicamous, and Armstrong and its strong support of local charities. 

 

Brad Shirley, Chief of the Salmon Arm Volunteer Fire Department,   told about the structure,  the makeup of staff - both paid and paid-on-call,  the relationship structure of the four halls, their funding, how the halls work together, their training and their dispatch functioning. Working smoke alarms and a fire extinguisher you know how to use are the two most important items for fire safety in a household.
