Hi,

Let me say that I think this is a fantastic idea, to have this talented writer/reviewer here at the Whitby Central public library.

Cudos to the library for having the wisdom and insight to host what should be a very interesting and thoughtful presentation.

I do hope there will be ample time for some lively questions and answers at the end (at least 20 minutes please...)

Kind regards from a happy patron,

Derrick

Donna was fantastic, interactive and thoughtful.

Loved every single moment of her presentation and the opportunity she gave us to share our experiences. That was very generous.

I hope she will be back soon.

Thank you Donna
