PROGRAM:
Warren McKenna told us a bit about himself. He has been a Lion for 13 years.
At the age of 30 Warren worked for Radio Shack working on computers. After he got fired from he decided being his own boss was the only way to go so he began his Computer Consulting business and has been happy ever since. He is preparing to retire as Joan has recently done so.
Warren plays poker 3 days a week.
35 years ago he had a detached retina in his left eye. Since then he found out Lions are ‘sight people’ so was happy to join our club.
25 years ago he started Go There.com wherein he sells travel on the internet. Try him for your next vaca planning.
Since Warren is an aficianado of good bourbon and his stash is getting low he is preparing for a trip to Kentucky to stock up – to the tune of 3 litres per day per person.
Also Warren suggests that if you are going to buy a car to get it through the Manheim Auction House in Kentucky as cars outside of CA cost so much less than here. See him for more details.
