Donna, as you know, I am organizing this year's local textile industry conference to be held next month. Could you recommend a good place to hold the reception?

Daniel [10:23]
Oh, it is you that are assigned the project, James.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
James [10:27]
Yeah, Daniel.
Donna, I remember that the hotel we used for our annual company banquet was fully equipped and the service was great!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Donna [10:30]
Sure, I think the Imperial Hotel might be one of the best options.
Last year, I actually looked into several local hotels but had to decide to go with that one because it had much more extensive menu options than the other hotels had. Please keep in mind that it was a little more expensive.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Daniel [10:31]
Right. The venue was great in many ways, Donna.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
James [10:32]
However, that's too bad. The budget is pretty limited. Do you remember how much they charged you?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Donna [10:34]
No, I'm sorry, but Mr. Potter has a copy of the contract. I will ask him to email it if you want.- What does James request from Donna?
- Why did Donna choose the Imperial Hotel last year?
- What does the Donna offer to do?
- At 10:32, what does James mean when he writes, “That’s too bad”?

Subject: Year End Party
As you may already know, we have recently formed a company basketball team. About ten people have joined so far, and we have been playing every Saturday at the Swift Creek High School Gym for the last few months. After receiving your e-mail about the company’s Year End Party, I immediately realized that we have a game scheduled for the same date at 6 P.M. I know everyone involved will want to attend both events but I don’t think we’ll be able to reschedule the game. Would it be possible to change the date of the Year End Party instead? If you are willing to consider it, I would be happy to help make the arrangements and check the availability of the hotel banquet halls.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
