Subject: Burton Farms
Date: October 21
Attachment: Product list
Joseph,
As you know, we are in the process of negotiating an agreement with Burton Farms to sell some of their dairy products at all our supermarket locations in the Midwest. Depending on how well the products sell, we may distribute them later on to our other stores across the country.
In connection with this, I'd like your team to complete a presentation in time for a meeting we are having with Burton Farms on the llth of next month. You will need to do some research on their brand positioning and target market. Next, you'll have to come up with ideas for arranging the products on our shelves and promoting them to our customers. I've attached the Burton Farms product list and highlighted the items we plan to sell. I'll be in the office all week if you want to discuss this further.
Thanks!

The Millsboro Water Department is calling on all area students to participate in its third annual art contest. The theme of this year's competition is Water For All.
The contest is open to Millsboro students in grades 4 through 12. The rules call for original artwork to be submitted on 75-centimeter by 110-centimeter poster board or paper, with a 3-centimeter border on all sides. Entrants may use any traditional medium they wish, such as pastel crayons, colored pencils, watercolor paints, cut paper, or fabric. However, computer-generated artwork and photography will not be accepted. Students may receive guidance from a parent, teacher, or guardian but must do all the work by themselves.
The grand prize winner of each grade level will receive $300 cash and a $200 gift card from fellow sponsor Millsboro Shopping Center. Furthermore, three additional contestants will be awarded with $100 gift cards, also furnished by the shopping center. Along with other entries, the winning pieces will be featured in next year's student artwork calendar, which will be distributed free to clients of the Millsboro Water Department at the beginning of next year.
The deadline for entries is April 30. For more information, visit www.mwd.com/art_contest.
