Awesome presentation – loved it! Lots of practical information.

Just wanted to thank you for coming yesterday. I heard nothing but great comments about your presentation and the materials. I heard some things I didn’t know and I had been doing lots of research on this subject as a new grandma so was really happy to hear it. I talked to the licensing manager and she was very excited about it as well. Again, thanks for your time and efforts – they were very appreciated.
