Your presentation was so beneficial and I LOVE your style, Barbara. You are great with our local audience; not too preachy but very informative!!  Even not being a business owner I took away so much!!  I work with businesess in other cities from my previous line of businesses so I will make sure to pass your name on!!  Thank you so much!!!
