Hi Stacey,
How are you? Mom, Dad, and I miss you.
Did I tell you about my new hobby? Well, I was looking for some kind of
treatment for my backache. I was waiting for the bus a few weeks ago, and I
told the woman behind me in line about my back problem. She was a yoga
teacher, and she said that if I do yoga, it might help. It’s too early to
know if it’s true or not, but I am taking classes with her twice a week. The
classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Because of my yoga classes. I cannot
call you next Tuesday. Is Wedneday OK for you? Please let me know.
Take care,
Sharon

Re : COUNTRY SQUIRE GRAND PRIX
Date : January 3, 2005
Swifts Motors is proud to be the official sponsor of the Country Squire
Grand Prix in Flagstaff Arizona on Friday, April 1, 2005. This is our tenth
year as the official sponsor.
We know that this grand event is eagerly awaited by everyone here at
Swift Motors. As an employee of Swifts Motors, you will receive a 30%
discount on general admission to the big race in Flagstaff. Because we value
employees and their families, you will also be given free vouchers for the
hospitality tent where you can enjoy a buffet and drinks during the race
(limited to 4 vouchers per family). The buffet normally costs $15 per person
($7.50 for children under 12 years of age), so this is a great deal. Families
will also get a garage pass giving full access to the garage where they can
see the mechanis in action. Unfortunately, because of the potentially
dangerous nature of the garage, only children over ten yearsof age can be
admitted to the garage area. We are sorry to dissapoint the young ones, but
we do have to consider safety. No doubt you will understand our reasons.
There are only 150 seats available in the stands, so make your
reservation now. Don’t miss out on the event of the year!

Dear member,
We are pleased to announce the grand reopening of the City Art Gallery. The
gallery had been getting very dirty and run down, so we decided to renovate
it and give the city an art gallery that looks as good as new. We know that
all our members have missed their cultural visits over the past 6 months. An opening
ceremony will be held 22nd, and general admission will begin March
23rd. As one of our members, you are entitled to attend the
opening ceremony and get a sneak preview of our renovations and
imprpovements. If you take a look at the enclosed information, you will see
the changes that have been made. I’m sure you will agree that we have greatly
improved the facilities. As a member, you will be particularly interested to
note that we have decreased the cost of the 12 month pass.
We look forward to welcoming you to the opening ceremony.
Sincerely,
Pembroke City Art Gallery Comittee
