Gardenville to Resurrect Jefferson Cinema

Gardenville City Council members voted on Thursday to proceed with the restructuring and renovation of the old Jefferson Cinema on Jorgensen Street. The structure, built in the late 1920s, has sat vacant since it shut down in the 1980s. The opening of two multiplex theater complexes in Gardenville drove the one-screen cinema out of business.

Upon recommendation of the Gardenville Arts Council (GAC) and the Gardenville History Society, the city will invest a sum of $2.3 million in the building. The updated facility will be used as a venue for live theatrical performances and will be renamed The Jefferson Playhouse. Local theater group Flora-Lane Community Players will use the building for all its rehearsals and shows. Likewise, the venue will also be a space for visiting acts, performers, and theatrical groups. GAC President Marvin Lee said in a telephone interview "we are thrilled that the council approved the project unanimously. —[1]—. First, it will help preserve our local heritage and history, and it will also provide our community’s theater club with a more appropriate home". —[2]—. Flora-Lane Community Players currently practices and holds performances at the Carter Neighborhood Youth Center’s auditorium. —[3]—. However, with a seating capacity of only 100 audience members, the group’s growingly popular shows require a larger venue. —[4]—.

The project is scheduled to begin on June 8 and will last for approximately four months.

Hi, Jillian, are you free for lunch this week? I'd like to get your opinion on a new case I've been assigned.

Mitchell Roach [11:27 A.M.]
I understand you were the lead counsel when Brighton Industrials got into a patent dispute with Grant Industries. Ms. Baird has asked me to handle their latest case against Cromwell Holdings.

Jillian Barrera [11:32 A.M.]
Hi, Mitchell. Sorry to keep you waiting. I just finished a meeting with Astoria Enterprises. How does Thursday morning sound? I'm afraid I'm quite busy this week.

Mitchell Roach [11:33 A.M.]
I can do it on Thursday. We could meet for coffee or at the office whenever you're free.

Jillian Barrera [11:33 A.M.]
Why don't you come by my office at 8:30 A.M. for coffee? I have about an hour before my first appointment in the morning.

Mitchell Roach [11:34 A.M.]
That's perfect for me as well. I really appreciate you taking the time to do this.

Jillian Barrera [11:36 A.M.]
I'm happy to help. I'm fairly familiar with Brighton now, so I may have some good suggestions for you.

Mitchell Roach [11:37 A.M.]
I'm sure you'll be a great help. In fact, Ms. Baird explicitly recommended that I contact you.

Energy Assessment: Residents may consult an energy advisor for some general recommendations on how to improve home energy use.

Hello all Ellis and Ellis Consulting staff,

As you know, I've been trying to find a way to improve efficiency here in the office and asked you to complete a survey providing your suggestions. -[1]-. For instance, a number of employees have expressed the desire to take more professional development classes so they can add to their skills. And at the same time, I have noticed that we have had to hire graphic designers on a very regular basis. -[2]-. When it comes to very big projects, like Web site design or creating our annual report, this seems appropriate, but in many cases, we are hiring them to do an hour of work that one of our own employees could probably do with a little training. -[3]-.

Consequently, I am considering organizing a short course on basic graphic design skills for any employees who are interested. -[4]-. This would allow us to use in-house skills for smaller design projects in the future. If this sounds like something you would like to participate in, please respond to this e-mail and let me know before April 20.

Best wishes,
Brendon Rogerson
Human Resources Director, Ellis and Ellis Consulting

Re: Company Tennis Tournament

Please distribute this notice to all full-time employees.
It's that time of the year again - time to dust off your racket for our annual company tennis tournament! We were so pleased with the exceptional turn-out last year, and we're hoping to see all of you again for more fun! We'll be holding the tournament at the same location as last year, the Lanark Country Club, on Sunday, May 26. The matches start at 1:30, followed by our usual patio party and gourmet barbeque at 6:30. The price has gone up slightly to $40 because our caterer is charging more. But we're also offering some more valuable prizes this year, including a 62-inch LCD TV for the winner and laptop computers for second and third place. So, we're hoping to see some competitive spirit! Space is limited to 48; so, hurry and sign up. You can sign up with Ashley Briggs in Accounting. We're looking forward to seeing you there!

MEMORANDUM

TO: All Staff
FROM: Phillip Christensen

As most of you are already aware, we will soon be undergoing a complete update of our office hardware. Much of our equipment is quite old and due for replacement this year. -[1]-. We will be upgrading our server as well as providing new PCs to everyone who has not received one in the past five years. In addition, new printer terminals will be stationed throughout the office. Many of you have also asked for new monitors. -[2]-. We regret that we were unable to authorize all requests as funding is limited.

If you are receiving a new computer, please make sure to download all the files you will need onto an external hard drive by Friday. This is important as the old equipment will be replaced over the weekend and will be inaccessible to staff from Monday.

-[3]-. The technicians hope to complete all the work on Saturday and Sunday. Should there be a delay, you will be notified. If you have any questions, call me at extension 115 or send me an e-mail at philchristensen@davenport.com.

-[4]-. Thank you for your cooperation.

Dear Ms. Montessori,

As you are probably aware, my contract will expire at the end of March. We have already discussed my plan to retire, so hopefully this does not come as a surprise. This letter serves as official notification of my intention to step down as the company's vice president of finance. I would be happy to stay on for an additional month to train and assist any replacement you choose.

I have truly enjoyed my time with Homestead Properties and appreciate all the support I've been provided over the years. I will miss working with my wonderful colleagues, but I will stay in touch.

Thank you very much for all the opportunities you and the board of directors have afforded me.

Sincerely,

Edward Grainger

SUBJECT Party preparations
DATE March 12

Hi Florence,

You've likely heard the news about Mr. Grainger. I would like to organize a dinner party in his honor. You did such a wonderful job of planning our awards dinner last fall, and I was wondering if you'd be willing to take care of the arrangements for this event as well.

We plan to spend up to $6,000 on the party's location. The board and I will take care of the gift. The date would be March 27, which is a Friday. I can send you a list of people we would like to invite later today. I imagine 50-60 people will be attending. As before, the company is happy to offer you an extra $500 on your next paycheck as compensation. Please let me know if you're interested as soon as possible.

Regards,

Elizabeth Montessori
COO, Homestead Properties Inc.
