All,

I am a stuck in a trial on the West Coast that was supposed to take one week. We’re on our second week and there is no end in sight. I am hoping that we will finish by this Friday. I apologize for missing the meetings but it couldn’t be helped. The time difference also makes it impossible to get on the phone.

I’ll see you all when I get back.

Regards

Haytham

Dear team,

I am back. Looks like last meeting went very well. I have reviewed the notes and the last draft of the ticket; well done. I apologize for any inconvenience due to my absence. Please let this email serve as a reminder of tonight’s meeting at 6:00pm at the LIBC office.

For those of you that will not be able to attend tonight, I will personally contact you by phone to get any new updates so I may inform the rest of the committee of your progress during tonight’s meeting. In doing so we can be most efficient and productive beginning phase II of the project.

Hope all is well. I miss you all and really look forward to seeing everyone tonight.

Thank you in advance.

Hello All,

I have attached the new design for our ticket courtesy of Rania. She said the she's not sure of the star locations, so let me know so she can correct it. Also, let me know what you think of the ticket so we can have it ready for the next meeting.

I would also like to ask if we can change the next meeting from Friday the 25th to Monday the 28th at 6pm. It will be difficult for some to make it Friday night. Please consider it and let me know.

Thank you for your time,

Nina Abadeh
