Date: 01/15/2011From: Edna PerthTo: Alex YoungSubject: Facilities at the GrandAlex, As requested, toured the facilities at the Grand International Hotel a week ago. Their two first-floor ballrooms should be large enough to accommodate the main conference events. Also, just down the hall are several smaller meeting rooms where we can stage the panels and seminar discussions. Unfortunately, our options for dining are not as conveniently positioned. The hotel runs an open-air courtyard cafe just outside the main ballrooms, but there isn’t much seating space— only about 100 chairs. A more spacious and elegant choice would be the Grand International Restaurant, but it’s on the third floor, on the other side of the hotel. I’ll leave it to you to decide which location would be best for the introductory luncheon on the first day. And, of course, I still haven’t heard when exactly the conference will be held. Haven’t you picked a weekend yet As soon as you do, please contact Regina Lim, the events coordinator at the Grand International. Her number is 555-6392. Edna Date: 01/24/2011 From: Alex Young To: Edna Perth Subject: RE: Facilities at the Grand Edna, thanks for your email, and I apologize for my delay in getting back to you. To answer your last question—yes, a date for the conference has been set. It will run from Friday, February 16, to Sunday, February 18. I’ve already called Regina, and everything is arranged. As for Friday’s luncheon, I believe the outdoor dining area will be adequate. We don’t expect more than 80 participants to be there for the introductory event. Then, for the group lunch on Sunday, we can use the hotel’s main restaurant. Have you started preparing your presentation I just spoke with Bill Waters, who’s giving the keynote address on Sunday, and he was quite nervous. In fact, I should go help him with it now. See you soon, - Alex When was Ms. Perth at the hotel

Drimbal Information Systems is an exciting place! As usual, there are many events, updates, and opportunities taking place in the coming month. Below are a few that pertain to all employees. Please notify Gall McPherson in Human Resources if you have any questions. * The company’s annual softball tournament is scheduled for the weekend of June 11. Due to an increase in interest last year, we’re going to be requiring everyone who wants to play to register. This cannot be done online—you must fill out the proper form and deliver it to Bob Billing, the event coordinator, at least one week before game day. Forms can be found in Mr. Billing’s office. * As Drimbal continues to grow, we are taking on more and more international contracts. With this comes the need to modify our business practices to take into account the needs of foreign clients. Helen Daniels from sales will be giving a lecture on this topic on Tuesday, June 14, in Conference Room B. Everyone is encouraged to attend. * And finally, you’ve probably noticed that the employee website has been updated. New features include recent sales figures, upcoming building maintenance information, and a quote of the day from our CEO. We’d love to hear what you think— share your feedback with Arthur Mainz in IT! What is NOT found on the updated website
A. Scheduling details for repair work
B. Feedback from employees
C. Inspiration from the CEO
D. Updated company sales information

This past Thursday, more than 400 people showed up to the Stinson Auditorium for Professor John Wallace’s speech. Unfortunately, Professor Wallace wasn’t among them. It was not until after everyone had taken their seats in the auditorium that they learned the professor would not be able to make it. Early reports indicate that a scheduling mix-up kept the professor from making his appearance. At the time when he was supposed to be speaking to a crowd here in Stinson about literary history, he was giving a lecture on modern journalism at an event in Pittsburgh. Representatives for Professor Wallace have issued multiple apologies to the people of Stinson, assuring them the error was an accident. Thus far, it appears as if they have forgiven him. Tickets for his rescheduled Stinson appearance, this coming Saturday afternoon, have already sold out. It is likely that attendees are most excited to hear the professor talk about his latest bestselling novel, The Artificial Writer. But he has made it clear that this is not a press tour. Instead he will stick to his planned talk on the history of the novel in Western literature. What is the article mostly about
A disturbance on a college campus
B. The rescheduling of a speaking event
C. A recently released book about writing
D. The reason a planned book signing was canceled
