Testimonials

“I would like to say thank you for organizing the SCALL Lifelong Learning Webinar.  It was very educational.  I learned that I have used a fraction of the services offered through the several organizations. My 2yr granddaughter is coming to visit for Christmas. I plan on taking advantage of the programs the library has to offer for toddlers on zoom and pick up the packaged activities through the SCALL webinar. I am sure they will be life-savers for an active 2 yr old in a condo.😂

“I really enjoyed the online SCALL Expo; I am an avid fan and student of ACE, love going to Selby Gardens/Historic Spanish Point, and was delighted to hear about the online programs the library offers.  Information about keeping the brain active was fascinating–I’ve already started checking out. BrainHQ.!”  

~ Judy Goldberg

“Just wanted to say that I enjoyed the SCALL Expo on Saturday. Lots of good information. I especially loved the keynote speaker. Don’t know how much time your team invested in the planning, but it sure paid off from the perspective of the viewer. Nice work!”

~ Sheila Reed, Interim Director, OLLI at Ringling College

“I attended largely because I am now running five meetings online every month for HLAA Florida and was looking for ideas. All I can say is you ran an excellent show today for all 150  minutes  breaking my personal best for the length of a virtual meeting.

I also wanted to see how you would run an Expo online as I run the Hearing Tech Expo in Bradenton FL and we have been wondering if there is way to do our event online since it has become the largest attended hearing health fair in the country during its first eight years and we had to cancel our hold on the Manatee Technical College’s big facility for 9th annual this coming February. I did not learn anything about how to handle 75 exhibitors online except you need a good host to keep things moving and Robyn was terrific as your engaging host and her accompanying virtual red hat.

Thank you for a very insightful look at our community and I hope there are plans for more.”
