The Burlington Hotel will reopen in mid-December following the completion of a two-year renovation project making it one of the most elegant places to stay in the area.

Improvements to the 60-year-old hotel include the addition of a health club and a new restaurant serving French cuisine. The number of guest rooms has been reduced to 260 from 280 in order to enlarge smaller rooms and add second bathroom to some suites.

In addition to the new construction, restorations have been made to the hotel's grand ballroom, its rooftop garden overlooking Green Park, and the hand-painted murals in the lobby.

Eagle Canyon City Park

Over the past month, there has been a sharp increase in reported sightings of raccoons in the open spaces of the park. The park rangers suspect the creatures are attracted by food scraps that are left—whether on purpose or accidentally—by visitors to the park. —[1]—. The city’s public health department does not want to encourage the raccoons to leave the wooded areas of the park as they can be carries of disease and pose a risk to visitors and their pets. —[2]—. With that in mind:

● Please do not leave any garbage in the park—either take it with you when you leave, or place it in the closed garbage bins that are provided throughout the park.

● If you see raccoons, do not approach them or give them food as they are wild animals with sharp claws and can be dangerous when they feel frightened.

—[3]—. Along with this, we will be holding volunteer park cleanups on the last Saturday of each month. Our next one is scheduled for June 27. Anyone interested in taking part should report to the park visitor center to register. —[4]—. All participants will be provided with protective gloves and vests, water, and a light lunch.

To: All directors 
From: Reed Abelson <rabelson@finishingmonthly. com>
Date: September 19
Subject: Directors' meeting agenda

Dear Directors,

In response to changing publication trends, I offer the following agenda to discuss at the directors' meeting next Monday.

Our sales department reports that sale of the Fishing Monthly in print edition have been drastically declining over the past couple of years and have actually dropped by 40% this year. Since print publication rates are diminishing and electronic publication rates and rising, we also have to consider turning our sights on electronic publication.

There is statistical evidence that electronic publishing provides wider dissemination, and a number of journals have already established electronic versions or even moved entirely to electronic publication. Electronic publication will cut down production and shipping costs and attract more readers at a reduced price and with better accessibility. In addition, the government offers subsidies for green publishing to companies which adopt a publishing process to minimize the impact on the environment by using digital or print- on- demand technology.

Given these facts, I'd like us to start thinking about ways to promote Fishing Monthly's online edition and reduce the print edition by at least 50% next year. In order to cut down on print publishing, we might have to shut down some of our production plants. This surely is not an easy decision. However, given the current bus business climate, I feel these changes are absolutely essential to succeed in the coming year and beyond.

I look forward to discussing this and other issues involving the magazine with all of you on Monday.

Reed.

Proposal for funding of new communications studio at Weston College in Burmingham, Alabama

Background: Weston College has offered matriculating students as well as statewide high school students opportunities to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to become successful in a variety of disciplines within the mass communications field for 20 years. With a small communications program of 100 students, Weston is able to provide students with one-on-one attention and instill program participants with a wide spectrum of educational facilities in order to promote a well-rounded student population. The private college receives less than 5% of its annual income from public funds and mostly relies on private endowments for scholarship and facilities.

Proposal Project: The mass communications department, by request of the students, has decided to create a local television station which would provide community members an outlet for public service announcements, calendars and promotion of non-commercial, not-for-profit events. The station would be entirely student-run with the exception of school advisors and mentors.

Needs: To maintain a competitive status within the educational community. Weston College must keep up with technological advancements made in the communications industry. In order to continue to draw in top achieving students, the school should be able to continually provide students with all the educational facilities larger universities are offering without increasing matriculation costs.

Donor Benefits: The Weston College production studio will honor the program's top donors by using their name on the building and they will be recognized during a ribbon cutting ceremony at the time of the studio's grand opening. Other donors will be recognized publicly when the station is up and running.

Lynn Hurley is in the news again, but this time not for her acting. The 32-year-old movie star was caught shoplifting from a fancy downtown department store.

Security guards stopped Ms. Hurley at the doors of a well-known department store with over $1,200 of jewelry in her purse. Officials are investigating the case and trying to decide if Ms. Hurley was only stealing for fun or if she really needed the jewelry for her next movie. Bail was set at $2,500 for the release of Ms. Hurley, but so far her family has refused to pay. If convicted of the crime, the actress could be subject to a fine of $10,000 or one month in jail.

The Desna drinking water filter guarantees clean drinking water from your faucet, provided that a new cartridge is inserted into the filter once every six months. The procedure is easy and safe to perform if the following points are observed.

- Before you replace your old cartridge, make sure that the water is off. Turn the main faucet tightly until it has stopped dripping.
- Remember that your spare cartridge is enclosed in the package that came with the filter. New cartridges may be purchased anywhere Desna products are sold.

Scalding hazard: Before you open the old filter for replacement, you may need to allow the water inside it to cool. Do not drain the filter or remove the cartridge before you are sure it has cooled down.

Sales Summary
August 1 to September 30

* All amounts in millions

To: Margaret Atkins
From: Lawrence Devine
Subject: Meeting
Date: October 6

Dear Ms. Atkins,

I just wanted to confirm the details that were discussed at the marketing meeting you called this morning. Following your instructions, additional funds for market research will be allocated to the only department whose sales performance in September declined. Also, it was agreed that we should continue promoting the categories that showed an increase in sales. As for watches and jewelry, you want us to conduct surveys to learn what specific items customers want most. Since profit margins for those items are high, you indicated that the company may wish to enlarge the selection in that department next year. Please let me know if this covers everything you requested or spoke about at the meeting so that I don't overlook anything. Once I hear from you, I will discuss this with the rest of the marketing staff. We can present a tentative plan when we meet with you again next week.

Thanks,

Lawrence Devine

Marketing associate
