Mar 13 2012 09:49am by Sandy Lefrancois
Received an e-mail stating that the Alumni wanted to make a donation online and it wasn't working. Also mentioned that he called during office hours and couldn't speak to someone. He was very fustrated since he was only able to get through voice mail.
Called him and advised him that I contact our administrator andour online website was up and running.
Mark asked to have the online donation link sent again, he said he will think of making a donation.

Brigitte invited him to the Sens/Leafs game next month, he replied:
Thanks for this kind invitation Brigitte but I do not think I can make it (as much as I would love to see the Sens beat-up on the Leafs!) - please accept my regrets. Cheers!
