Hero of the Week
Our Hero of the Week is Cameron Staff of Adroit Technologies.
Cameron is my go-to guy for help with all my social media including this newsletter. I swear he has the patience of a saint as he tries to teach me all about fonts and wrapping texts and other weird things.
I love it when Cameron comes in for our weekly learning session as he is always positive, has figured out how to teach me so I actually understand .....and he hasn't pulled his hair out yet!
If any of you are in need of computer service, purchasing computer items or a computer, ads for your business and more give them a call or click on the link http://www.atws.ca
Thank you Cameron for all that you do in teaching me computer tricks of the trade, your patience and understanding and especially your smile.....it just makes all of us smile too!
