On Saturday, July 22nd, I've been hit by a direct shot from the driving range at
3rd. The golf ball hit me on the inside of my lower leg and bounced off. It
still hurts a lot and I'm quite motivated to support you in your effort.
Unfortunately I won't be able to come to the meeting, but if there is anything
else I can do to support this issue, please contact me at the address below.

Thanks,
