The Cedar Springs Public Library just had her on Oct. 22 and had a crowd of 130!! It was SO WONDERFUL!!! If people only knew how great she is, they would flock to your program. It's life-changing and one of the very BEST programs we have ever had! Ask your American Legion to get involved. We had ours do the Pledge of Allegiance and lead us in the National Anthem before starting the program. Wonderful!!
