Candy is $1 and raffle tickets are $2. There will be four winning raffle ticket numbers. Each winning number will be awarded a gift certificate to Maplewood Mall for $25.

Limited Car Manufacturing Company
1 Highway Circle
Harristown, Indiana
To: Stephen Jenson, Comfort Ride Seating Company
Dear Mr. Jenson:
It has come to our attention that your production of car seats for our latest car has decreased. As we previously discussed in our agreement, your company needs to produce 1,000 seats per month in order for us to stay on schedule. Eric White, the production director, was also informed of this demand.
Currently, only 800 seats per month are being manufactured. This decrease in production is causing some serious problems for our company. We must talk about this issue immediately. If your company cannot meet the production quantity specified, we will be forced to look for another company. Please contact us as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Janet Henderson
Production Manager

Hi,
I am a local artist who produces hand-painted clay pottery. I would love to have a stand at the Valley Arts and Crafts Show. I wanted to get a stand last year, but I applied outside the application period. I really hope that I am in time this year. How much is the cost for artists who have a stand? There is no price on the posters, so I was wondering if it was free. I hope so, but even if there is a charge, I still want to display. Please let me know.
Many thanks.
Amanda Wallace
