To: The Staff
From: Eddie Bauer, President
Subject: Office Supplies
Date: June 30

As you know, the recent recession has forced us to cut costs in many areas. One area where people have not been fully cooperating is in regard to office supplies. For this reason the following guidelines are being put in place:

  1. Dave Smith has been designated as in charge of all supplies. All supplies must be checked through him with your Signature and his before they are removed from the storeroom.
  2. There are monthly limits to how much of each item can be borrowed each month. Anything exceeding these amounts must be approved by your manager and Dave Smith, and the justification must be given in writing.

Along with these guidelines, Here are some additional suggestions with regard to conservation of these materials:

  1. Hang on to your pens! We go through far too many pens in this office. This can only be because people are carelessly losing them.
  2. People should always print on both sides of office paper before recycling. Unless this is for official business correspondence.
  3. Folders and binders can be used again once old projects are completed. The cost of these items adds up!

I appreciate your cooperation, and I hope these measures will lead to an improvement in this area soon.

22. Why has Mr. Bauer written this memo?
23. How do people borrow supplies from now on?
24. What is the exception to the rule that says people must print on both sides of office paper?

Susan Learned [4:32]
Good afternoon, Mr. Wachtel. This is Susan Learned from Sigridson Office Interiors. I received the order form you e-mailed us this morning, but I have some questions for you.

 

Justin Wachtel [4:41]
Hello, Susan. I hope there isn't a problem with the order.

 

Susan Learned [4:43]
Nothing major, it's just that you wrote down your preferred brand for the office chairs but didn't indicate how many you need.

 

Justin Wachtel [4:45]
Sorry about that! Hold on, and let me check how many of the old ones we have now.

 

Justin Wachtel [4:55]
It looks like we need 18 chairs.

 

Susan Learned [5:02]
Perfect. Also, in regard to the Bainbridge conference table you asked for, it comes in a variety of materials. If you check our Web site, there are pictures of the table in pine, oak, and cedar. Prices vary slightly. Could you let me know your preference?

 

Justin Wachtel [5:04]
Actually, I am interested in the cedar version. It should coordinate well with the other desks and furnishings in the office.

 

Susan Learned [5:08]
I'll take note of that information. We should be able to deliver everything by Tuesday morning. However, the projection screen is being custom-built, so it won't get there until Thursday. I'll e-mail you a final invoice later today.

25. At 4:43, what does Ms. Learned mean when she writes, "Nothing major"?

Kip Villegas 4:35 PM. I can probably manage it, too.

Kip Villegas 4:36 PM. Shall we leave from the office together?
Corrine Dealba 4:37 PM. Yes, let's meet in the parking garage at 2:30, and we can drive over together in my car. Is that OK for those who are coming?
Avery Wong 4:38 PM. That works perfectly for me. I'll see you then.
Corrine Dealba 4:40 PM. Thanks everyone. See you on Tuesday.

Gail Royce 7:32 P.M. So, are we all ready for the product launch tomorrow? Let me know if there is anything else we need to do. We won't have much time, as the event starts at 11 A.M.
Reena Singh 7:36 P.M. My team and I have the venue nearly ready. We have a few large banners to hang in the morning, but everything else has been set up.
Roger Bryce 7:37 P.M. We have to make some final lighting adjustments in the morning, but the video screens are up and the sound system is operational.
Olga Russovich 7:38 P.M. About 500 guests have confirmed, but a few more may show up. Six members of the press are coming. The caterer has also set up the food table and refreshment counter.
Gail Royce 7:41 P.M. Thanks everyone. It sounds like everything is proceeding as planned. Olga, why are so few members of the press coming?
Olga Russovich 7:43 P.M. There is an important meeting at City Hall at the same time. Many local journalists need to attend that instead.

Reena Singh 7:48 P.M. That would be great. There are a couple of jewelry displays that seem rather crowded, so I'll move some things there in the morning. We will want to showcase our new products in the best way possible. What time does the venue open?

The Regency Scotia School of Design Hosts Historic Royal Costume Display

Threads of Royal History, launched on Friday, is the latest exhibit from the Regency Scotia School of Design (RSSD) in Glasgow. It is a treat for period costume enthusiasts. For the exhibit, the school borrowed 52 outfits belonging to both historical and current monarchs from museums around the world. Of particular note are the 4,000 year old headdress and accessories on loan from the Cairo Museum in Egypt as well as several stunning robes from the Forbidden City Museum in Beijing. In addition, fashion students from the school have created 38 replica outfits. All of the items are beautifully displayed on specially designed mannequins.

The exhibit will last for a month, concluding on April 30. Regular admission is £6.50, but students and faculty of the RSSD are admitted for free. Senior citizens pay £5.00, and children 10 and under pay £3.50. Inquire about student group rates by calling 555-3400. The exhibit space is located in the school's Leighton Hall, which is open from 10 A.M. through 8 P.M., Monday through Thursday.

TO Larry Dent
FROM Rhoda Augustine
SUBJECT RSSD Exhibit
DATE April 20

Hi Larry,

I saw an article in the paper about RSSD's current exhibit and am thinking of taking the students in my morning art classes there for a field trip. I called to find out about student group rates, and if there are 30 or more students, the admission fee is significantly lowered to £4.OO. But I only have 24 in total for both my morning classes, so I was wondering if you and your students might be interested in joining us. The community center's bus seats 55 people, so there should be enough room to accommodate everyone. It sounds like a really interesting display, and I think our students would learn a lot from it as well. There is no rush, but let me know whether you're interested by Friday so I can book the visit.

Thanks!

Rhoda
