Re: Diversity Calendar for 2020

Hi Mark,
Hope you're well.

The purpose of this email is to let you know that we have developed a diversity calendar
for this year because most of the employees come from other countries and as it is our
duty, we must respect their culture through some very important celebrations or
commemorative dates for each one of them.

Please let me know any questions you have.

Regards.
Eduardo Aguirre.
