Received 9/25/09 - Mark Purcell needs your help..."I'm Mark Purcell with Bryan Sewing Machines. Thank you and the rest of the membership for hosting my business during the quilt show. I had a great time and made some new friends. The food was great too. I would like to get information on posting a notice to your membership either through email, a classified ad or advertisement in the newsletter. I have an unfortunate and embarrassing thing happen in that my notebook that I wrote all my contacts and requests for help, parts, etc. during the event never made it home with me from the quilt show. I've been hoping it would turn up but have finally resigned myself to the fact that it is lost forever.
I want to apologize to anyone that I promised to call back and ask your members to contact me if they are one of the people that is awaiting word from me regarding their request. I want very much to follow up on all the contacts I made but cannot unless I hear from them <markpurcell@gmail.com> or (979) 209-0434, cell (979) 229-9227. As I said, it's pretty embarrassing and a bad deal for me and anyone waiting on me for parts or service."
