HEARD IT THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE
Brought to you by The Penticton & Wine Country Chamber of Commerce

MEMBER PROFILE
Welcome Wagon is celebrating 75 big years in the hospitality business. The Welcome Wagon hostess and her decorated basket personify the concept of a caring community and local businesses to which people and service are important. Their gifts, greetings and invitations, delivered by her, say it tangibly. The token gifts Welcome Wagon brings are thoughtful and may range from a loaf of bread to a magnetic note holder. Local information may include maps, details of garbage pick up, library location and hours to places of worship. If you know someone who is new to the community or just had a baby, please call Char at 770-1840 and leave a message, so she can visit them with a basket of goodies.
