To Whom It May Concern:

Re: Clear the Clutter and Simplify Your Life Workshop

On behalf of the staff and patrons of Gibsons & District Public Library, I would like to say thank you to Mr. Paul Talbot for the excellent presentation of his "Clear the Clutter" workshop held at the library on February 26th, 2005.

Paul is a gifted public speaker. He has an ability to connect with his audience in a humorous, but non-threatening and insightful manner, and we were all able to recognize our particular foibles in his exchanges with members of the group.

We enjoyed a lively and entertaining afternoon, with both a practical and philosophical approach to the issues of material and emotional clutter. The feedback from the "standing room only" crowd has been gratifyingly positive, and those whom we could not accommodate are clamouring for a return engagement.
