Subject: Annual meeting and banquet
Hello everyone,
Our annual staff meeting and banquet will be taking place, as usual, at the end of October, and we are pleased to announce that a venue has been finalized for the event. -[1]-. We will be convening at the Palatial Hotel at 3316 Geary Boulevard, San Francisco, at 9 A.M. on October 27. The meeting is expected to run until around 6 P.M., with a short, catered lunch at noon. After we conclude the meeting, there will be a quick 30-minute break before dinner starts at 6:30 PM. This will give everyone some time to unwind before the meal is served. Those who have invited guests may show them to their seats at this time. -[2]-.
Several menu options will be offered, and you're kindly asked to notify me of your selections by the end of next week. For the main course, there is a choice between grilled salmon and fresh vegetables or roasted lamb and seasoned potatoes. -[3]-. Coffee, tea, and other beverages will also be provided.
If you have any dietary limitations that must be accommodated, such as food allergies, please let me know as soon as possible so that arrangements can be made with the hotel. -[4]-.
I look forward to seeing you all on October 27.
Best wishes,
Jean Walters
Assistant to the executive director
