Hi Mr. Erwin,
I hope this email finds you well. Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend the Commissioner's meeting. I have to help host
a school ASB event at the same time. I really hoped to join, but unfortunately, the time clashed.
I'll make sure to review the notes and meeting info to stay up to date. Please let me know if there's anything important I
should be aware of.
Thanks for your understanding, and I hope you have a fantastic Christmas season! Happy (almost) 2025!
Best,
Sanja
