Due to renovation at the Central Public Library, our monthly Food for Thought have been postponed until 2010 due to limitation of space. I apologize for this inconvenience as some of you have been eager to attend those sessions. We will be back at the first available opportunity.

Thank you very much for your loyal support and I look forward to seeing and talking to you again in near future. If you want to contact me, I will be happy to hear from you. You can do so by visiting Here.

With best wishes for your health and happiness, Parmjit Singh

I apologize for taking so long in contacting you.  I wanted to let you know that the evaluations sheets we handed out after you did the session for our Divisional Day (way back in October) were all excellent.  Every single staff person who attended your session was very pleased with it. They all found it very relaxing and said that they would enjoy a further session and recommend you to other departments who were having a department day similar to the one you presented your session at.

Also, I should mention that you may in the very near future hear from one of my co-workers asking you to do a session for our individual team. She is working on the logistics with our manager to see what we can do about having you come to one of our
meetings.

Once again, I want to thank you for the wonderful session you did for us and wish you the best in 2009.
