I just wanted to express my sincere thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to be MC at the SRC Carnival you did a fantastic job and everyone was very impressed. ... keep reading Spring Racing Carnival
The 'Women on Top' book launch was a great success in Loretta's capable hands: she was thoroughly versed on the purpose and running order of the event and brought her warm, articulate, friendly and thoroughly professional hosting skills to the podium, keeping things moving and adding her personal touch when applicable. During the event we also raised money for Bravehearts, and Loretta's ability to enthuse the crowd to support that worthy charity enabled them to gather financial support and to spread the word about their cause. The evening was a great success, with much positive feedback over the following days; we attribute much of that to Loretta's professional and thorough approach to the role of MC at this fabulous book launch.
