Phillip, Thank you for taking the time( and money) to journey out to help SynHak! I sincerely apologize that no one was there to let you in out of the cold. I had previously expressed my inability to attend to the organizers so I am a bit out of the loop as far as what the deal today was. I will be sure to bring it up at Tuesdays meeting on the off chance no one with knowledge of the plan responds to you before then. It is a shame not only that volunteer hours were lost but that people had a less than excellent experience with SynHak.
Thank you for your time and efforts I hope future interactions are positive. in excellence, Andrew L On Sun, Jan 12, 2014 at 8:44 PM, Justin Herman <[email protected]> wrote: > Phillip thank you for taking the trip out.
