Hi Joe!

I am sorry to say that Emily has a big Forensics Speech and Debate Meet this 
Saturday. I have to drive her to Montville NJ and it lasts from 8am - 6pm 
I'm sorry Joe. I really wanted to bring Ryan to the convention. We don't 
like to miss it and we like to speak about our terrific BELL Academy!

Please let me know if I can do anything to help with your presentation 
though. I hope the other participants are able to make it!

And we hope you are feeling much better!

Warmly,
Lana
