Attention employees:
Last week I met with Mr. Hendrix to discuss our overseas marketing campaigns. As you know, we now have retail stores operating in South Africa and Argentina, in addition to having our products carried by department stores in France, China, and Japan.
Although our sales are at a satisfactory level, Mr. Hendrix would like to increase our brand recognition abroad to make Fields Sports' apparel more competitive with both local and foreign equivalents. This will also help us introduce our sporting equipment line to international consumers.
To discuss this matter further, I would like the entire marketing staff to meet on Wednesday, March 14 at 11 A.M. At the meeting, we will discuss ways to further the presence of Fields Sports' apparel through special events, sponsorship, celebrity endorsement, and any other tactics.
Thank you and see you on Wednesday.

Ashton Black Named President of InfoQuest
By Karina Todd
In November, Ashton Black was appointed President of InfoQuest after serving seven years as their chief financial officer.
Black, who attended Yale School of Management near his hometown in Connecticut, began his career as a financial analyst at Robertson, Inc. Soon after, he was promoted to Head of Research at the brokerage firm.
Working alongside Burt Edwards, named CEO of InfoQuest in June, Black plans to make InfoQuest more competitive. Despite earning nearly $775 million in profits on advertising sales, the company still struggles to compete with rival company Database.com. InfoQuest also faces growing competition from companies emerging in the industry, and is looking for ways to rebuild company morale, attract employees with innovative ideas, and produce better results for loyal investors.
Industry analysts are not yet certain whether Ashton Black is the right man for the job. “Being president of the company will require more leadership from Black than ever before,” said Theresa Spears, chief financial analyst at Mires Investments. ”InfoQuest needs to do a lot of work if they want to keep up with Database.com, and Black seems reluctant to change InfoQuest’s business strategy.”

Pristine Air
Tips for traveling with children
Here are some things you can bring on your trip that are sure to keep children occupied and relaxed during a long flight.
* Paper with colored pencils or crayons
This allows parents and children to do activities together, or for children to do something independently. With blank paper and colored pencils or crayons, children can write, draw, or make their own games. For more excitement, pack small figures to use as board-game pieces in your carry-on luggage and let children design their own game boards.
* A deck of cards
Parents can teach children their favorite card game or show them card tricks. In return, children can do the same for parents.
* Books
It is always a good idea to pack a book on a long trip. Children will especially enjoy stories that take place in the country to which they are traveling. This will give them a chance to preview the culture and history they will learn about on vacation.
* Gifts from Pristine Air
Once your international flight has taken off, a flight attendant will offer any children traveling with us a picture map of the world and a souvenir passport with stickers that children can affix once they have visited a country. There is also a children’s airline magazine in the pouch in front of your seat.

City Cuts Spending for Rink Renovations
By Niko Lennox
March 29 - Over the weekend, city officials postponed the project to renovate Dennis Park's ice skating rink indefinitely. Officials stated that the move was prompted by the project's rising cost.
The site of the ice skating rink, named after its founding donor Elouise Dennis, was being developed by Y&B Rinks, a facilities management service from Ottawa. Last year, Y&B Rinks submitted an application to the city board for funding to renovate the rink and received approval. Recently, however, unforeseen problems with water drainage forced the company to reassess its funding needs, and the city would not approve a second request for finances.
The unfinished renovations to the park included expanding the rink to accommodate more than 1,000 skaters, adding a retractable roof, and building indoor locker rooms
Dear Mr. Stewart,
I read an article in last week's newspaper about the city government's rejection of your second request for funding to renovate Dennis Park Rink. As a child, I often visited the rink with my family, and through the years ice-skating has developed into one of my favorite leisure activities.
I'd like to see thousands of children in the Ottawa area experience the same joy I did at Dennis Park Rink. For this reason, I would like to fund the renovation efforts you have so graciously begun. I'd like to meet with you at your earliest convenience to discuss how we can collaborate to improve this valuable community resource. Please call me as soon as possible at (970) 845-7628.
Sincerely,
Steadman Murphy

Questions 44 – 48 refer to the following work schedule
Due to the recent weather and resulting construction delays, the work schedule has been changed for the next two weeks. Hopefully, this will allow us to get back on schedule so the building will be finished by early July, as we originally projected.
Also, it's supposed to rain again towards the end of this week, so the work schedule for Friday is tentative. I'll provide more details about that as we get more information on the conditions for those days.
If you have any questions about the new work schedule, or if you cannot meet the work requirements due to prior obligations, please call me as soon as possible at 903-8821.
