Marr said… oops --- something I said didn't come out quit right. I ment to say of those the gal is working with -- teens and adults who HAVE (Not ARE) lower income. I'm in a lower income bracket myself. I am also happy to voluntarily do the presentation again and not be paid to do it if she thinks it would be of help to her group. Being able to positively effect someone's life even if I can't see it is just as rewarding. ~ Marr
Marr said… Hi Jae! My presentation was a success! I got enthusiastic clapping, and one gal asked me if I'd be willing to do a repeat preformance just as I presented it last night. She said she works as a volunteer, about 20 minutes from here, working with teens and adult women who are lower income. She loved my concept and felt her group could greatly benefit from what I shared. My presentation lasted about 45 minutes and then had Q & A afterward. I was able to do the whole thing at a good clip with all my clothing props and only once had to look at a paper for some numbers. Everything I said I showed with a clothing/accessory prop. We had women from a broad spectrum of ages up thru 90, and I even managed to keep their interest they said. I was so relieved. Now it will be interesting to see how many of them try out the ideas. ~ Marr
