“The speaker was simply amazing. She had so many examples to illustrate her points. She had the points in easy recall slides and sorted as well.”

 

The events on offer will usually involve inviting a speaker to talk about very important matters. They may or may not affect you or your daughter directly; however, we feel it is very helpful to be aware of these issues.
