Dear Mr. Johnson,

We received your request to change the dates of your reservation at the Glenwood Resort from April 15-22 to June 20-28. Unfortunately, I have checked the database and there are no rooms available for those dates. I sincerely apologize that we can not accommodate your request; unfortunately June, July, and August are our busiest months because we offer special summer discounts. I understand that your company is relocating you to London in July and therefore you can't make a reservation for any other date. I would like to mention, however, that Phillip D. Humboldt, the owner of Glenwood Resort, recently opened another luxury resort, Woodshire Retreat, just thirty minutes outside of Mulberry. If you would like to make a reservation at this resort, the number is 1-800-238-948. Or you can make a reservation online at www.humboldthotels.com.

Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Mitchell,
As a long-time member of the Small Business Association, I'm sure you're as upset as the rest of us about the recent hydro rate increase of 29 percent which took effect in October. The difference in our monthly electricity bills is considerable, and for small businesses such as ours that are struggling to make ends meet, I'm sure I don't need to tell you what the increase could mean in the long term.
I wanted to let you know that, as President of the Small Business Association of Windover, I have taken the initiative to contact the State Corporation Commission on behalf of the Association to voice the concerns of small business owners in the area and to register our opposition to this rate increase.
In doing so, I was informed that final approval for this increase has not yet been given to Vermont Hydro by the Commission. Commissioners will decide in the near future whether to approve all, some, or none of the requested 29 percent increase. If the full 29 percent increase is not approved, customers will receive a refund for any overcharges (so save your monthly statements).
This pending decision gives us an opportunity to prevent the increase. That is why I am writing to all of the members of the Association to ask for your support. As customers of Vermont Hydro, we can all contact the Commission and register our opposition to this rate increase. Now, it is your turn to be proactive. Call to register your opposition and pass the word along to businesses in other areas served by Vermont Hydro; even your friends and family could call - every little bit helps.
You can call the State Corporation Commission at (800)553-7845 between 8:15 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. You will be directed to leave your name, address, telephone number and a statement of opposition. The call takes only 2 to 3 minutes. Every call is tabulated and will hopefully make a difference in the final decision made by the commissioners.

Office supply inventory form

On the last day of each month, all employees are responsible for taking an inventory of the remaining supplies in their area. These inventories will be used to make purchases of supplies for the coming month. In the list below, please indicate how many of each you have remaining in your area:

Jessica Jang 9:27
I just got a message from a staff member in sales saying that salaries for her department have not been deposited yet. They should have come in yesterday afternoon.

Jessica Jang 9:28
Has anyone else gotten similar complaints from other departments?

William Stuttgart 9:34
I just checked with production and they got theirs, but those in purchasing did not. Neither did the employees in finance. Oh, and my salary hasn't come in either.

Jessica Jang 9:35
Nor mine. This is quite strange. I checked with research and development and they got theirs. I wonder if Erin's heard anything.

Erin Hinkle 9:37
Sorry, I was on the phone just now. None of us in human resources has gotten paid, apparently. I discovered this issue earlier this morning, and I just contacted Beacon Bank to find out the cause of the problem. They promised a response in the next 10 minutes.

Erin Hinkle 9:44
So, the bank says they had some technical issues with a new payment software system that they recently started using. They've resolved the problem now and those who haven't been paid yet should have their funds within the next hour. Let me know what happens.

William Stuttgart 10:34
I just received notification from the bank that the funds have been sent.

Jessica Jang 10:35
Same here. Erin, could you contact the other departments to confirm that the problem's been solved?

Erin Hinkle 10:36
OK. I can do that.

This year, the Department of Education will allow all students to renew their student loans online through our department website. To complete this process you will need to have a personal identification number (PIN), which you will use to access your personal account information. If you do not already have a PIN, you can establish one by going to the website and entering your last name and social security number. After that, you will be allowed to select your own PIN or let our computer generate one for you. Be sure to write down your PIN, as you will need it for all future use on the website. This PIN can be used year after year. There is no need to create a new PIN next year once you have made one this year. The estimated time to create a PIN is about five minutes.

Tips for shopping through the mail

Every year, thousands of people successfully order goods from mail order catalogs. However, some more unfortunate individuals find that the goods they ordered look nothing like the pictures, arrive damaged, or don't arrive at all. Here are some tips to help protect yourself when you shop through the mail.

. Before placing your first order, ask around. Have your friends or family used this catalog before? How was their experience? Were they satisfied with the goods and service? Would they use the company again?

. Read all available information, including the return policy. Look for companies that offer a no-questions asked return policy. Check whether you will have to pay postage if you need to return goods.

. Always include shipping costs and sales tax in the final price when comparing costs. In some cases, the shipping costs can really add up. Make sure you know exactly what you are paying for.

. How long will you have to wait for your order. If you need something in a hurry, shopping by mail might not be the best option.

. Keep records of your orders, including the catalog name, address, telephone number, and the date that you placed the order. Of course, you should also keep track of items ordered, operator name, and expected date of delivery.

. If you encounter any problems with a mail-order company, contact a consumer advocacy group. You can easily find telephone numbers for such groups in the telephone directory or on the Internet.

Park Board Meeting

All local citizens! You are invited to the City Park Board open meeting!

Come along and find out what is happening in your local park. The City Park Board open meeting is schedule for Wednesday, October 12th at 8 p.m. in conference room B of the public library. Agenda items include the following: funding for new snow blowers, construction of a temporary outdoor ice rink for the winter, and next month's Winterfest Bonfire Ball to raise money for equipment for the children's playground.

Snow blowers will enable us to keep the park open all year round, even in the heaviest snow. With the park open all winter, we have decided to convert the central pond into an ice rink. Local business man Hans Brent has donated $10,000 towards the cost. Winterfest Bonfire Ball tickets will be on sale at the meeting. They always sell out fast, so coming to the meeting will increase your chances of getting a ticket.

It is not necessary to notify us of your attendance in advance. However, if you would like to speak at the meeting, or present a report on behalf of a local organization, please contact Glen Tuber at the city office, on 345-5467, extension 4, before October 5th. All speakers must be given authorization before the meeting, so it is essential that you do contact us in advance.

Every weekday, we receive dozens of phone calls from local citizens who want to know what is happening in the park. Don't be one of those people. Come along to the meeting and find out the truth for yourself.

To Whom It May Concern,

Yesterday, my son and I visited the Bernardo Mall and had a meal at Chips and Tacos, the restaurant located next to the mall. Upon leaving the mall, I was charged a fee of $5.73 for parking. I had not expected this as I think I had been informed that those who spend more than $20 will be exempt from paying the parking fee. Even though I did not buy anything at the mall, I spent far more than $30 at the restaurant. I was too busy to explain everything to the employee at Gate #5 at the time, but I hope I can be refunded for this error.

Thank you,

Charles Arana
