Dear Betty,
On behalf of United Way, the women our agencies serve, and the three thousand people in the audience at Roy Thompson Hall on Monday night - Thank you! You are an extraordinary speaker, and you held everyone riveted by your words, dazzled by your wit, and stimulated by the issues you raised.
Certainly by bringing your experiences to a broader public in such a meaningful way, you have made it easier for thousands of people to cope. Your clear- sightedness and frankness made for a powerful evening. And, while having read your books, we were expecting intelligence and humor, you also captivated us with your charm and warmth.
We've had nothing but praise - and lots of it! - for your speaking engagement. In fact, the single complaint we did receive was that the evening had to end at all. And I can't tell you enough how this lifted the entire Unique Lives and Experiences series into anothe realm. People will be talking about that special evening with Betty Rollin for a long time to come.
Anne Golden,
United Way of Greater Toronto
