Hi Mark,
This is something that we can definitely set up at some point.
Actually, since your next meeting will be Tuesday the 12th of October
and one of our trainers will already be there, I will see if he will
be open to doing so.  I'll get back to you on this. Thanks for posting
the event.

Thanks,
Amy Hoang
