I have been on the speaking circuit for many years now, giving talks and lectures to various groups: Rotary Clubs, Business Organizations, Computer Clubs, and other organizations. In addition, I have been teaching several types of classes in computers for over 10 years now, first with Main Line School Night, and for the last 8 years with Adult School Night of Chester County. I am available to groups on the following basis:

1 I must be available (morning, evening or weekend)

2 $50 for a 20 to 40 minute presentation within 10 miles of Frazer, Pa.

3 These are meant to be general talks rather than training courses. Training courses for small or large groups are also available. Inquire for rates.

4 Non-profit groups, such as Rotary Clubs, many have the speaking fee waived.
