January 17, 7pmDear MIC members, Earlier today, we received a message from Roy Kabla of Lehman Brothers, informing us of a flight delay from New York to Montreal due to adverse weather conditions. The delay unfortunately forced the MIC to cancel the guest speaker event, which was planned to begin at 6pm in Bronfman. Both Roy Kabla and the MIC committee would like to sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. The circumstances were last-minute and unfortunately beyond our control. We will, however, re-schedule this event with Mr. Kabla for a later date, and we will keep you informed about this. Special apologies for those of you who made the trek out to Bronfman for this event. Sincerely,
MIC Executives
