Feedback
Mark spoke well, and clearly had a lot of fans in the audience who made a special effort to come to the breakfast he spoke at. He also willingly signed a cricket bat we donated to charity auction, and posed in photos with brokers. Both these activities helped us raise over $3500 for the Make a Wish foundation.
