PowerPoint Presentations:

​

Lorraine is currently sharing the results of her research in an entertaining 45 minute Power Point Presentation with various clubs, community groups and organisations. She and her husband Neil (her driver and technical supporter) are happy to travel within Victoria to give the talk but would greatly appreciate a contribution towards their fuel and/or accommodation costs.

Signed copies of Lorraine's book will be available for purchase afterwards at $35 ($5 discount off the RRP).

Please email or call if you'd like to make a booking.
