Unpleasant Experience at AIC

My sister frequently goes to the Albuquerque Indian Center as well as many people I know. Recently, I gave her some money that included a $5.00 bill that I had previously written a phone number of a potential client. She donated it to the AA group that regularly meets at the Albuquerque Indian Center. In a vain attempt to retrieve the number from the bill I called the Indian Center where a woman answered the phone and attempted to help me. Another Individual named Mary Garcia rudely took over the phone call and I had to explain the situation over again to her. She then told me that money was not exchanged there and that I needed to call my sister so she could tell me another place where she spent the money. I responded by telling her her that my sister wouldn't lie to me. She then said that she wouldn't lie to me either. She then hung up on me. I called again and talked to the nice woman I had previously talked to. I let her know that the person who facilitated the AA meeting was who she gave the money to. The rude Mary Garcia took over the phone call and said "You again!" I then told her that she was being rude and that she is suppose to be providing a service to people. She then accused me of being rude and told me that she would be rude to people that were being rude to her. I then responded to her and said that I was not being rude and that she was being rude to the wrong person (of course that's because I'm not afraid to write letters, blogs, or talk about my experiences.) Anyway, I just want to let people know that Mary Garcia does not adhere to the Albuquerque Indian Center's Mission to empower the Native American community by being impatient, disrespectful, and insensitive. I hope someone with authority reads this and can do something about her attitude.
