The following letter was written in relation to an event Penny facilitated the day after Black Saturday in Melbourne
Dear Penny,
We are writing to thank you for your outstanding contribution to the Melbourne Pre-Parliament Event on Sunday February 8th, 2009.
You would have been an outstanding compere under any circumstances.
However, given the rapidly changing and tragic context in which the event took place, we were particularly fortunate to have access to your expertise and experience.
The feedback that we have received indicates that people felt that we responded to the situation appropriately, and we are very grateful to you for your advice and assistance in achieving this.
