Re: The "Cost" of the matter

Lynn, let me be clear, there's no single price that's appropriate for  
everyone; I certainly didn't charge the same fee when I was starting  
out that I charge now, nor do I think it's appropriate for a beginner  
to charge the same fee as the most experienced speaker.  But I DO  
think it's important not to undervalue our work.

If you spend a few hours putting together a presentation, if more  
than 10 people show up at the lecture, and if you're good at what you  
do...I say you deserve more than $75 and lunch.  And FYI, I never  
complain about the garden club ladies; they are some of the most  
enthusiastic audiences I've ever met.
