Attn: All advertising associates

The meeting with Gilman Electronics was rescheduled from Friday, April 22, to Monday, May 25. I received an e-mail from their CEO, Robert Towney, informing me that Gilman Electronics is not ready to introduce the new computers due to production delays. Apparently, technicians discovered a serious defect in one of the microchips and consequently all of the computers have to be re-evaluated. Therefore, we have about a month to work on the advertising campaign. I recommend that we meet early next week - perhaps Monday or Wednesday - to discuss the current ad campaign and determine whether or not we want to change it now that we have some extra time. Please e-mail me by 4 p.m. today with your comments or suggestions about the Gilman account. As you know, Gilman is our biggest client so it is critical that we provide the best service possible.

Sincerely,

Mark Johnsons
Director of Advertising

Hi Lena,

Thanks so much for the invitation! I would love to go with you to the ballet premiere. Fraulein Danza Company has done amazing work at the shows I've seen before, so I'm sure this performance will be fantastic as well. Besides, I'm a really big fan of Sofia Pinsky. You must have had a lot of fun interviewing her and Igor Petrovich at their studio yesterday.

I can meet you at the theater at 7:30 on May 9 if you want, or maybe we can get together earlier for dinner. There is a nice place right next to the Gladstone Theater called Carlotta's Bistro. Let me know if you'd like to do that.

Thanks again. I am really looking forward to it!

Prima Ballerina: Sofia Pinsky

The main dancer of this evening's premiere performance, Dance of the Daffodils, is prima ballerina Sofia Pinsky from Ukraine. Ms. Pinsky plays the title character of Princess Daffodil, leading a troupe of 30 professional dancers. She trained at the prestigious Kiev Classical Dance Academy and went on to study under famed dancer Alexi Petrov in Moscow. Under his instruction, she entered the European National Ballet Competition in St. Petersburg and won second place, which was the first trophy of her career. She has been the lead dancer in performances in cities around the world, including London, New York, and Tokyo. Ms. Pinsky joined the Fraulein Danza Company two years ago and has been performing for them ever since.
