Reviews
“Lynn truly brought the heart and soul of Dottie Kamenshek alive. The presentation was engaging, interesting and the ideal tie-in to the baseball season. Patrons complimented the presentation and were motivated to learn more and watch the movie, A League of Their Own. Lynn arrived early and brought relevant props and supporting materials. The event was a home run!”
