Notice to All Employees
As we enter the cold and flu season, the management wants to remind all
employees to wash their hands after using the restroom and before returning
to work. This is especially important for cooks, waiters and waitresses. As
most of you are aware, germs, viruses, and bacteria are passed on mainly
through hand contact. Here at the Happy sandwich reastaurant, hygiene and
cleanliness are our number one priority. This policy will be strictly
enforced. Thank you for your attention in this matter.

email.

Dear Mr. Thompson,
This is just a short email to update you on your medical test results
from your physical examination on January 10th. Our records show
that you took a blood pressure test. Your test this time showed that your
blood pressure is doing quite well for a man your age. I am very pleased to
note that your blood pressure is much lower than it was last time. It seems
that the medication you have been taking is working well. Unfortunately, we
do not have a record of the name of your medication on file. Can you remember
the name if the medication that you are taking? If you could send an email to
my nurse with the name of the medicine, that would be very helpful to use.
His email address is medcenter05@huxley.com.
Also, there is a note in your file stating that you want your medical
test results sent to your insurance company. Which department do you want
them sent to? Pelase let us know as soon as possible.
Regards,
Dr. Huxley

Questions 8 through 11 refer to the
following chart and information.
 This is a chart of the Food Pyramid. The Food Pyramid
serves as a basic guide to making healthy food choices. If you take a look ay
the guide you can easily see which food groups you should be eating.
According to the pyramid, most of your daily food should consists of breads,
rice, and cereals. These are the foods in the bottom level of the pyramid.
Almost equal to these, but not quite as much, should be vegetables and
fruits. Therefore, you can feel free to go ahead and eat lots of fruit and
vegetables every day. Servings of meat, fish, eggs, and dairy foods, which
include milk and cheese, should be much smaller. Sugars should be the
smallest portion of all. Of course, your daily nutritional needs will vary
according to your activity level and life style. You do not have to follow
the Food Pyramid, it is good way to be sure you will get the healthiest
benefits from your daily food if you keep a copy of the pyramid stuck to the
door of your refrigerator. It will remind you to plan your daily meals wisely
every time you go into the kitchen. |

MEMO

To: Jennifer Martin, Sports Equipment Manager
From: Clive Wilbur, Management Committee Chairperson
Re: June 25th Annual General Meeting
I know that you will be unable to attend this year’s meeting on the 25th,
so I am sending you the agenda now. Please take a look at it before the
meeting and give me your opinion on the items.
We have decided to resurface the tennis courts and need to choose from
three contractors. I will send you their price lists and a voting form later.
Every one at the meeting will have a chance to vote. As you know, we have
suffered a lot of broken windows recently. I would appreciate it if you could
fax me your ideas on how to deal with this problem. The fourth item on the
agenda refers to renting equipment. We will limit rentals to one hour on
weekends and two hours during the week. Only members will be able to rent
equipment on weekends. This brings us to the next item; all members will be
required to show their membership card in order to use the sports center at a
discounted price.
Please send me your thoughts as soon as possible, and I will talk to you
in person when you get back from your vacation.
Many thanks.
