Wading through Winter? ISSUE The bad weather makes for a terrible commute. FREE SOLUTION Try out a vanpool to let someone else do the driving. My commute takes too much time and costs too much money. My Service members take too much time driving each other to appointments. Try out a vanpool to make the commute easier (and cheaper). Have them take GO Transit for free instead of asking for a ride. www.golewismcchord.com www.facebook.com/golewismcchord 19 19
