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 From: Reima Abouarabi [mailto:reima@libcusa.com] Hello, Thank you for the update Nour. Yes I will be joining you this Thursday at 1:30pm for the meeting with the Best Buy mangers to discuss the IPad donation. Also, I would like to inform the committee that I visited Print Express this afternoon to discuss the printing cost of our tickets. Ali was very helpful and offered to print 600 tickets + 100 student tickets (700total) for $100.00 dollars. We will discuss this along with all other action items tonight during our meeting.
