Apologies for the Late Update

Dear Spearhead Fam,

I want to sincerely apologize for the delay in sharing this important update regarding one of our members, Joe Poirier.

I received a message from Ronald Gullis, who shared that Joe was admitted to Michael Garron Hospital on December 3rd. At this time, Joe is able to receive visitors. If you plan to visit, please keep in mind hospital protocols and ensure you coordinate appropriately to make the experience as smooth as possible for Joe.

Please keep Joe in your thoughts during this challenging time. As we receive more updates, we will ensure they are shared with you promptly.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

Warm regards,
Daniel Gustavo Masis
