As we discussed, I would be very interested in participating in an event with you in June and I think it would be a great idea if the city of TMR would be willing to host it! I know Anthony Housefather quite well and I have no doubt that he would assist us as well to get the word out. It woul= d be a great initiative on behalf to the city to educate its citizens the way that Westmount will do. You would have the full cooperation and assistance from the Communications Officer of the Faculty of Medicine so please let me know if you would like to organize something. I can meet you at City Hall to discuss the details of the presentation with the city officials. I will reach out to the event coordinator at Westmount City Hall to see if they would be interested in having a corporate sponsor =AD if so, I will make an email introduction. As promised, here is a brainstorming list of items for your father! Can I please have your cell in case we need to text in the future. My cell is 514-968-4455. All the best, Claire =20 1.
