[VABS] VABS Movie Event Postponed

[Naim Abu-ElHawa]

Dear President  Parsons:

My personal opinion is the best suggestion/suggested date for the VABS Movie Event would be Saturday, August 26, 2017. The reason being is: if you will be returning on August 20, that will be a Sunday. Some colleges/universities  start   Fall semesters/sessions that Monday,  August 21, 2017,   While  some will not start until the following Monday, August 28, 2017. So, if some college students have already started: it will still be the first week in. So I think sooner rather than later would be best.
Of course, this is only my opinion.

Thank you for seeking out our feedback as to the best dates possible. We greatly appreciate it.



Many Thanks And Much Respect.

Sincerely,



Naim Muawia Abu-El Hawa
