Mrs. Clements regularly does an adult program through the library which showcases her speaking skills and is diligent in preparing for sessions.  Her program has made a positive impact for our adult patrons.  I wholeheartedly give my recommendation to any employer who is considering utilizing her as a speaker.

I have attended several of her presentations at the Roanoke Rapids Public Library.  The most recent presentation was "What to Do When I Die?" and her detailed presentation and handouts were interesting, timely and presented in a manner that causes one to retain the salient points.  She made a presentation to Wilkie Real Estate that was well received by the participants.  As a person Donna is honorable above all and strives to do her best.  She is caring, fun to be with and always tries to be helpful.  I consider her one of the more enthusiastic, best informed speakers in our area.

Miscellaneous Comments and Thoughts

I appreciate Donna very much.  She gives me much "food for thought" at each of her presentations.  She is awesome!

S.E.

Donna was excellent at sharing her information and wetting our appetitie for more.  The session (Financial Knowledge to Wisdom) was very thought provoking.  Thanks for the additional resources to share/use.

Donna's personality and temperament carry the program.

Engaging speaker.  It opened my mind/spirit to some alternative ways of thinking on this topic.  A good job by presenter.  Interesting subject matter.

All material was presented in a manner that was easy to identify with - great recommendations of reading material.

Speaker was passionate about subject.  Good illustrations.  Good suggestions for more information.  Unsure what I was coming to, but what a positive jolt for everyone to find a way to improve themselves, their families as well as their contributions to society.

Presenter was very knowledgeable on subject.

Variety of materials used.  Really enjoyed her "at ease" teaching style.

The material was educational and the presenter was knowledgeable.  I enjoyed this presentation and learned about investing and finance.

Donna...  this is wonderful!!!  Thank you for sharing as I needed this slap up side the head ... to remind myself that it's all normal.  I am really feeling the empty nest stuff (rejection, don't need you and the all of a sudden I am stupid, what do you know, old fashion as in back in your day) and I just realized I am normal... yes, normal after what you shared in your article (oops blog...get with the times).  Thank goodness!!!  I thought I was just having a pity party feeling sorry for myself but NO this is real... I say real... a part of life that happens and it's the attitude that gets you through it.   AND... I am not by myself which your article reminded me of this but what do I do with myself now (not use to thinking of me but I guess it's time to do just that)... after reading your blog my mind just seemed to open up to all kinds of possibilities... those old thoughts and feelings of it's over, I'm too old, no one needs me nor do they want me seemed to float away and now (thanks to you) I realize I can do anything I want to do... freedom!!!  It's about my tank being full now... thank you for reminding me it's ok to fill up my tank and it not be selfish to want to do that.  I am going to sign up for that class I want to take today!!! Thank you for sharing and writing so others can fill up their tank.
