Dear Museum Colleagues;

To celebrate Colorado Museum Month, we are devoting ourselves to promoting the unique services and programs that we provide for our communities and their residents in Colorado.

The primary goal of this year's Colorado Museum Month is to raise public awareness of museums' roles to a community. We are seeking support especially from the media, and even from politicians in the state. Our museums, located throughout Colorado, attract an increasing number of visits from all around the country each year by constantly paying attention to high-quality artistic works. In addition, we make available learning experiences for people all ages.

In order to make this special event more effective, we ask for your support and participation. Please take the following two steps that will help bring favorable publicity to our communities in Colorado:

• Invite more than one Colorado state official to your institution and ask for each person's opinion about how to better meet the needs of museum visitors.

• Write a letter to a newspaper, television station, or a radio station in your community to promote your institution.

Ready-made templates are also available on the Web. Please participate and make Colorado a more culturally rich place. With your support, we can make a difference.

Sincerely,

Nancy Rumblt-Trzcinski

Director
California Museum Association

John Brenner 10:24 A.M. I heard! How exciting. I went through the company profile in the brochure you gave us. They could be our biggest client to date.

Yvonne Bailey 10:25 A.M. I can get to work on the marketing analysis for the presentation. I'd like to use the statistics in the brochure we were given. Do you think they're reliable?

Eric Zalewski 10:32 A.M. Consider it done, Julianna. Are we going to run through the presentation before the appointment?

Bicycle stores and retailers nationwide sold the Caldera Junior from March 2000 through July 2001.

The recalled Caldera Junior has the model number AC 100, AC 200, or AC 300, on the top tube. Also, recalled Caldera Juniors have an aluminum sleeve on the hitch between the bicycle and the Caldera Junior. Caldera Juniors with nylon or plastic sleeves on the hitch are not included in this recall. Contact us or the retailer from whom you purchased your bike to get a new hitch.

Dear Mr. Jorgensen,

We are sorry to hear that you have been experiencing problems with your new Okawa desktop computer. While we usually require our customers to contact their Okawa service provider in the event of a problem, we recognize that, in your case, this would be impossible, since you are currently living abroad. Therefore, if you will carefully package the unit in its original carton and send it to us, our Okawa experts will examine it thoroughly to determine the source of the problem.
If it turns out that the problem requires a few minor adjustments, we will make the necessary repairs and return the computer to you within thirty days. If we determine that the unit is defective, we will send you an immediate replacement. Please remember to remove all important files from your hard drive to ensure that you do not lose them in the event that repairs are made.
Again, I am sorry that you experienced this inconvenience and thank you for purchasing an Okawa computer.
Regards,

Harold Plume
Service Department

There May be Hope for Small Regional Retailers After All!
By Doris Bentley

In the highly competitive world of retail sales, it's difficult for inexperienced entrepreneurs to turn a profit when the cost of renting a store or shop is so high. But regional retailers don't need to look any further now than the Bradford Retail Cooperative building, opening on March 1. -[1]-.

The cooperative is located in the building formerly occupied by the Mega-B-Mart superstore on the outskirts of Bradford City. In partnership with the city government, Phoenix-Star Properties has updated the structure and renovated it to house 160 small retail booths. Director of Phoenix-Star, Brenda Nixon, said, "the old structure was an eyesore ever since the store it once held went bankrupt. -[2]-. Through a very small investment, we have been able to revitalize the building into a location that is not only useful to the community but will help improve local economic conditions as well."

Phoenix-Star Properties provided half the funds for the structural changes, and the rest came from the city development budget, which is funded by local taxes. -[3]-. "We are really excited about the opening! And given Phoenix-Star's incredible success doing similar projects with other abandoned buildings in locations across the country, I am sure we will experience the same popularity here," said city government spokesperson, Beatrice Guzman.

The retail units will be available for rent to artisans, craftsmen, and private businesses owners from the region. With rental rates starting at as low as $500 per month, Phoenix-Star has confirmed that 90 percent of the spaces have already been filled. It seems clear that the Bradford Retail Cooperative building is already popular with local entrepreneurs. -[4]-.

34. What is the topic of the article?
35. What is indicated about Phoenix-Star Properties?
36. What is NOT true about the Bradford Retail Cooperative building?
37. In which of the positions marked [1], [2], [3], and [4] does the following sentence best belong? "However, it still remains to be seen whether local shoppers will like the place as much."

Cheryl Stone [3:48] I just got a message from Mr. Baker saying that his flight has been delayed until 9 P.M. Weather conditions are terrible there in Chicago.
Allan Franklin [3:50] Really? But he's supposed to make a presentation to the executives from Harper Telecom today!
Maurice Wood [3:51] I've got all the visuals ready. But it would be problematic if we don't have a speaker.
Allan Franklin [3:52] That's an understatement. We need this contract. Otherwise, we may not meet our sales target for the year.
Cheryl Stone [3:54] Can't we do the presentation ourselves?
Allan Franklin [3:55] I'm not sure. There are several firms competing for the contract we are trying to get. Harper Telecom could decide to give the contract to someone else if they aren't impressed with our presentation.
Cheryl Stone [3:57] I think I could do the speaking, but without Mr. Baker's technical background and expertise, our proposal might not sound very convincing. What do you think?
Allan Franklin [3:58] I agree with you. I think it would be better to call Harper Telecom and try to convince them to listen to his pitch tomorrow morning. That might be our best option.
Cheryl Stone [3:59] I'm on it. I'll let you know how it goes.

42. What is suggested about the presentation?
43. What can be inferred about Harper Telecom?
