 "The Astoria Havens was everything I hoped for!  You 2 had the vision to make this all happen.  I feel it was the right topic, w(ith) the right speaker, at the right time.  I was very pleased with the turn out.  We estimate 200 attended last night.  I would have liked a few more "non converted" to have attended.  And I would have liked more press.  But overall it was a great event.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the MANY hours you both into this.”
