"Marva, Thank you so much for a wonderful tour. The artists you chose had excellent presentations. Dan was definitely their favorite potter. Our girl scouts (and adults too!) thoroughly enjoyed the morning with you and your husband. When we went to the Pottery Center/Museum, the girls enjoyed finding pieces they recognized from the artists we had visited that morning. Thanks again for your tour and also for your support of Girl Scouts." Anne Medenblik & Joyce Gandee Leaders, Troop #884 | |

"Dear Marva, A short note to say how much we enjoyed the DC trip. Due to the fact we have never gone on any overnight on a bus we really didn't know what to expect. You handled everything so professionally and competently that we felt very 'taken care of.' Tommy did his usual great driving job..if he could only tell us how he seems to make all the green lights. Looking forward to all our future trips. " Sincerely, Pat & Gordon Matson October Washington D.C. Tour | |

I can't imagine how anyone could have reinforced our fine southern traditions better. This was my first trip to Moore County, and you have convinced me that is will not be my last. Your enthusiasm for what Moore County is doing to become a family vacation destination is contagious. Gerri Hubbert and I came home very excited and eager to pass our enthusiasm to the travelers who come through this center. Thanks again for your hospitality, and please let me know how we can help you."

You saved my day and I am more than grateful. All of the ladies told me what a wonderful day it was. Although I was more than
surprised when they said they would rather have spent more time at the Sandhills Horticulture Gardens and less time shopping.
Will wonders never cease? Warm regards,”
