Lavilli Garden Stores - April 2 — Repairs will begin next Friday on the historic Marion Hall in downtown Marion. In its heyday, Marion Hall was a popular downtown destination for residents to dance, enjoy live music, and watch movies. However, it has lost its popularity gradually since the multiplex building was completed on Henson Street 4 years ago.
After all of the necessary repairs are made on Marion Hall, city officials will strive to invite various performers including famous theater companies, musicians, comedians, and speakers to the newly renovated theater. “We hope Marion Hall can serve as a new center for culture here in Marion,” said Marion City Mayor Greg Fields.
The revitalization of Marion Hall is part of a larger project to enhance the public facilities in Marion. On April 29, the Marion Children’s Park, which features a baseball field as well as several playgrounds, is scheduled to have its grand reopening. More Buses During the Holidays
November 28- - [1] - Although the holiday season signals a nice week-long vacation for many, bus drivers will work longer hours and straight into the holidays to accommodate the many tourists that are flooding the city this time of year and the shoppers that are busy buying those last-minute gifts. - [2] - The city announced new bus schedules for the next few weeks which included some routes where the buses would run all day and all night. While most buses stop running by 1:00 A.M., some parts of downtown will see buses running all night. The Bingham shopping district will also see buses running until 3:00 A.M. “This is when we have the most tourists and out-of-town folks coming to visit,” explained Mayor Bill Nate. “We felt it was important to provide the necessary services during this time.” - [3] - When the bus drivers’ union leader, Nathan Reiner, was asked about the new schedules he responded, "We worked out a payment that is agreeable on both sides and have enough drivers that can work in shifts so that there is no danger of overworking or exhaustion. Many of US will still get some time off during the holidays with our families.” - [4] –-

Good. See you soon.- As I'm sure you're aware, this week we must decide if we want to continue working with cc Wheel Delivery. After yesterday's meeting, it's clear that they are being sued for the accident that happened last week. - [1] - We all agreed that the whole company shouldn't be liable for the mistakes of a few careless workers. But, that was a conversation we had before we had really thought about the ramifications of our decision. - [2] - Unfortunately, the situation is escalating and there is about to be a lot of bad press. - [3] - It's true that many of them are our friends. But, we must protect our company. We can't handle anything that could alter our sales. For the last four months, we've been operating with a very thin margin for error. If our sales drop even the slightest, it could be detrimental. So, I'm suggesting that, as a means of protecting ourselves from any negative backlash, we cut our ties with cc Wheel Delivery. Maybe later, if they're able to rehabilitate their name, we'll work with them again. - [4] - I propose we vote one more time on whether or not to work with them.
- The buzz at New York’s premier book fair is all about the upcoming book from poet-turned- novelist Harry s. Tepper. The Nightingales of Fall is the eagerly awaited sequel to his best¬selling debut novel, The Swallows of spring. The book follows the journey of Sally Harknett through the weird world of Underfell, mixing social commentary with sharp wit and just a dash of magic and mystery. Tepper burst onto the scene over a decade ago with the acclaimed poetry collection, King Harmon’s Castle, and the expectation for this latest novel is another chart-topping success. Later this week, the first editions will be made available in a prize drawing at the New York Book Fair, with the official launch at major bookstores next month.

Dear Ms. Rose,
You recently contacted US about using our conference center again this year to host your Annual Conference of Bank Managers. This year we have updated our conference room with new projectors and more comfortable seating. We will be providing shuttle busses from the airport and a premium buffet in the dining hall as well as an Internet café where guests can use computers or print documents at no cost. For your convenience, we will also be providing useful supplies such as flip charts, 10-foot whiteboards, and projector screens.
Once you decide on a date, we ask that you please make a down payment of $1,000 after we see if it is available. The remaining balance should be paid upon your arrival. Also, we ask that as the organizer of the event, you arrive at the conference center a day before the conference begins. This way, any unforeseen circumstances can be taken care of beforehand.
We appreciate your business with the Titus Conference Center again. We are looking forward to providing you with the best service possible.

Dear Mr. Masterson,
My name is Carl Ennens and I am entering my final year at Evergreen state College. I am majoring in industrial engineering here, and my liquid dynamics professor, Dr. Alcobar, recommended Master stroke Industries as a possible internship opportunity. Your company is recognized as a leader in flow research. If you would be willing to accept an intern for the coming spring semester, I could give you up to 15 hours per week of work, provided that you are able to write some performance evaluations that I could turn in to Dr. Alcobar for credit. Thank you for your consideration, and if you would like to see my transcript, I would be happy to forward it to you.
All the best, Carl Ennens

Dear Carl Ennens,
I appreciate your interest in interning with US here at Master Stroke Industries. We have not accepted a lot of interns in the past, but I know Dr. Alcobar personally, and if he recommended that you contact US, he must have faith in your ability. I think we should set up an interview at our headquarters downtown on Holly street. We can get to know each other a bit over some coffee and I will show you around our facilities. Don't worry about your transcripts; like I said, if Dr. Alcobar thinks you’ll be a good fit, I’ll trust his judgment. How about this coming Friday at 10 A.M.?
Look forward to meeting you Carl,

Lately, our staff has been suffering from low morale, and while searching the Internet for solutions, I came across your website www.action.net. I am interested in hearing more about the motivational speaking that you do. Specifically, could you tell me if your speeches are religious in nature?

Thank you so much for your interest in Action. I am happy to answer your questions and provide you with a full breakdown of what we can do for you, your team, and your company. To begin with, all of our talks are secular, though not necessarily free from the concept of spirituality. Our professional speakers seek to motivate people to look internally to find their own spirit and help it rise. Morale, after all, is an intangible but essential aspect of an effective team. Please refer to the topic list and pricing guide I have attached to this e-mail. Once you have found a theme, speaker, and chosen the appropriate class size for your company, please send me a follow-up e-mail to schedule your event.

March 9 - Popular Danish skincare company Brand-X is finally launching their best-selling line in America. The 88-year-old company has been Denmark's leading skincare brand and the top selling cream, Xtreme 7, has been Europe's most popular facial cream for over 10 years. Though Americans may not have had access to these creams before, the brand is already generating much excitement. Dermatologist Dr. Francis Keenan explains, "Tests have shown that Xtreme 7 dramatically reduces the fine lines around the eye area and laugh lines after only 30 days of use, but the price of the cream is only a fraction of what department store brands sell for. I'll definitely recommend this cream to my clients."
"People have been asking about Xtreme 7 but the products haven't even arrived yet!" added Susan Chan, an employee at a beauty counter. "People are already calling in to pre-order."
A spokesperson for the company explained that Brand-X is making moves to expand into the North American and Asian markets. For now, only the best-selling line will be available sometime next month, outside of Europe, but within a year, more products will be available
==========================Brand-X Positions at American Headquarters in Westminster, California
Don’t miss your chance to work in an exciting career in skincare and beauty with Brand-X. 80 administrative and customer service positions will be available regardless of experience. Applicants need to have good communication skills, bilingual ability in both English and Spanish is preferred but not necessary, and knowledge in computer use is a must. Applicants with experience in cosmetics, dermatology, or marketing will get a chance to work in several management positions for Brand-X. Please visit our website at www.brandx.com/jobs for more information. You can fill out the application forms and send them in before March 20th.

Dear Professor Mills,
Thank you so much for the reference letter you supplied me with. I was recently hired by Brand-X and I begin my orientations next week Wednesday at 10:00 A.M. However, we have our statistics test at that time. Is there any way that I can take a make-up test at a different time or hand in another assignment as a replacement for the test? I would hate to miss the orientations which are mandatory and I don't want to disappoint my new employers. The job should not have any other impact on my school work otherwise. I kindly appreciate your consideration in this.
