More letters on page 37 Another satisfied customer Dear Editor A few weeks ago I was in a car accident. I was okay but my car door wasn’t. I took my car to Carstar Port Perry where the manager, Ron, who assessed the damage, greeted me and assured me it could be fixed. In the meantime I needed a rental. As Discount Car and Truck Rental is located next store, Ron introduced me to Evan and between the two of them they really went out of their way to find me a suitable rental. A week later I picked up my vehicle and the door looked perfect. There was a bit of a noise coming from the side window and when I spoke to Ron he said to bring the car in the following morning, he would arrange a ride to work for me and would deliver the car when finished. That he did and all was well. This was an unfortunate situation but such a pleasure dealing with Carstar and Discount. I can’t thank them enough for their excellent service and ensuring I was a satisfied customer. Kathy Fisher, Oshawa Ribfest participants truly appreciated Dear Editor Wow, from the feedback received, the Civic Weekend in Port Perry will never be the same. Three busy, family fun-filled days was the end result of months of planning and preparation by the Rotary Club of Port Perry. The success of this event was a group effort of community minded people who saw the potential and stepped forward. Sponsors, vendors, Township of Scugog and Council, volunteers and businesses collectively made this a major community event. Part of the group effort is the printed media. Focus on Scugog published advertising and information to inform the public of the event and the itinerary. In the June issue of Focus on Scugog, a cover story by Lynn Campbell laid out the event and goals. That was followed by a full page of Q & A in the July issue leading up to the Waterfront Ribfest. A huge thank you to Focus on Scugog, MaryAnn (for volunteering) and her team for their participation to make this event a community success. Terry Coyne, Advertising & Promotion Rotary Club of Port Perry Thanks from Prince Albert Church Dear Editor I would like to thank you on behalf of our congregation for the write-up on our church (Prince Albert United Church) in the August 2016 issue. Paul Arculus has done a great job; we have received many wonderful comments. It is a very important time in the life of our church and the Focus has helped us tell others about it. Thank you, Paul. 
Keep up the good work. I always look forward to reading every publication of your magazine. Linda McMillan, 150th Anniversary Committee Prince Albert Church Thank you Terry and Vos’ Independent!
