Without Patti, this event would not have been the success it was. She helped us think through and enact our plan for the event; she was adept at helping us figure out a marketing strategy; she contacted and did constant follow up with our presenters; she canvassed and blanketed neighborhood shops, senior centers and libraries with our event’s information. She was meticulous and thorough in her oversight of this ambitious event. And, with her savvy and wise guidance, the Transportation Fair reached over a hundred participants.I would recommend Patti to any group that was seeking a competent, creative and effervescent collaborator/guide. We have Patti to thank for an event that not only accomplished its goals about getting information into the hands of those who need it, but also created a new and deeper sense of community amongst our elders.The Rev.
