Kiwanis Club of Ottawa:
On behalf of the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa and their Associated Key Clubs thank you very much for being our Key Note speaker at a recent meeting.
Over the years we look for a speaker that would inspire the Key Club members and be of interest to our members.
You hit the nail on the head. Your talk kept the young Key Clubbers extremely interested in your talk. From the Head Table I could see how fascinated they were with your talk. The chatter among the students and our members after the meeting was most favourable. Everyone was talking about how interesting, inspiring and personal your talk was.
Once again thank you so much.
