RE: Ron Craven

Please be informed that I am personally acquainted with Mr. Ron Craven. I have seen his art work and found it most impressive. I have also requested him to speak to our volunteer ministry team, and he has done this with good result. Ron speaks clearly and directly. He speaks specifically to the point of homelessness, poverty, and addiction. His own personal experiences validate what he has to say. He speaks with authority, keen insight, passion and strategic information. He is lively, expressive and passionate in his delivery. I highly recommend him for speaking engagements.

To Whom It May Concern:

I am delighted to give Mr. Ron Craven a reference for speaking at public events. Mr. Craven came to our Annual General Meeting for Eden Community Homes and gave a very heartfelt well received speech.

This was a special Annual General Meeting as we were also celebrating the opening of our Art Studio for adults who have mental health problems.

Mr. Craven shared his own personal experience and talked about the importance of art in helping people overcome adverse experiences. Mr. Craven is a talented photographer and has many shows in Toronto documenting the plight of homeless people and also cityscapes.

Mr. Craven is very well organized and did everything in a timely fashion including sending me a copy of his speech.

We had a wide variety of people at our meeting and Mr. Craven was able to connect with the audience in a meaningful way. Mr. Craven speaks from the heart and is a strong advocate of people who are homeless in Toronto. He also is able to convey a strong sense of hope to his audience.

If you have any questions further to this letter please contact me at 416-977-3655.

Sincerely,

Margaret Lynch
