I heard Nan give a presentation this past week on the topic 'Harvesting a Fresh Crop of Print Assignments'. I had no idea how much fun listening to her would be, as well as how much information she has at her fingertips! Informative, funny, charming - she will absolutely engage any audience. Any club lucky enough to have Nan speak will be more than thrilled!
