Questions 164-167 refer to the following text-message chain.

Brenda Latsky [10:44 A.M.]
Dan, I made the pick-up here at Arakx Graphics. Just to confirm — it’s two tubes with blueprints in them, not one.

Dan Kropf [10:45 A.M.]
That’s correct. One quick heads-up - there’s a cycling race passing through downtown. Traffic is getting backed up, so try to detour around the city.

Brenda Latsky [10:46 A.M.]
Will do. The delivery is going to Bostec Tower. Is that a new building?

Dan Kropf [10:46 A.M.]
It’s a work site. Be sure to give the tubes to David Huffman. He’s overseeing the construction project there and needs them right away.

Brenda Latsky [10:47 A.M.]
OK. I’ll be there by noon.

Dan Kropf [10:47 A.M.]
Great. It’s a fenced site, so just ask the attendant to open the gate doors for you. You can park in any open space.

Brenda Latsky [10:48 A.M.]
All right, sounds good.

Dan Kropf [10:48 A.M.]
Quick reminder. When you’re done there, make the pick-up and delivery for Craftac Ltd. first. Then make your other afternoon pick-ups.

Brenda Latsky [10:49 A.M.]
Sure. I saw that on my dispatch sheet. Actually, the Bostec Tower drop-off will put me closer to my pick-up at Dendar Industries. Shouldn’t I head to Dendar first instead?

Dan Kropf [10:50 A.M.]
Craftac Ltd. is a regular customer.

Brenda Latsky [10:50 A.M.]
Got it. OK, talk to you later.

COLMOR CITY—The city’s historic single-screen Harledic Theater will reopen on Friday, March 13 after two months of renovation work. The newly-remodeled theater boasts a larger screen and an all-new digital projection and sound system. Interior renovations include wider aisles and larger, more comfortable seats. — [1] —.

Devoted film fans will be happy to hear that the theater is keeping one of its vintage movie projectors so that it can continue to screen older films. Twice a month, on Thursday evenings, the theater also gives the public the rare chance to see films made by students at Colmor Arts College. As in the past, foreign films will be showcased every Sunday. — [2] —.

The theater’s owner, Don Gresch, is especially excited about this year’s weeklong classic film festival, scheduled to begin on the first Monday in May. As a result of popular demand, the festival will once again open with a screening of a fully-restored version of the epic film Treasure of Kanpur. — [3] —.

Starting this year, the festival will be called Classic Cinema Week to better reflect its programming content. It was previously named the Harledic Film Society Festival. The event, now in its 14th year, attracts about 5,000 patrons each year. — [4] —.

172. What is suggested about the Harledic Theater?

Questions 176-180 refer to the following announcement and letter.

Announcement

Starting on January 5, all guests and members of the Wiffle Athletic Club will be required to wear wristbands when engaged in aquatic activities.

Blue wristbands will be worn by adults over the age of 18.
Yellow wristbands will be worn by children under 5.
Children ages 5 and over may take a water safety test to wear a blue wristband.

Permanent wristbands may be purchased from the front desk for $5. This new policy applies to both our Downtown facility and our Crossroads facility. We hope that it gives peace of mind to our members and staff as we move forward in serving the larger community.

Sign up now for the spring racquetball tournament! Winter results are posted on the Member Bulletin Board near the weightlifting rooms.

Wiffle Athletic Club

Dear Members,

We have received some questions about the new aquatics safety measures that we recently implemented.

Here is the background for installing these measures. It was recommended by risk management professionals and inspectors that we initiate more stringent aquatic safety policies, install a security camera system, and increase staffing. We understand that change is difficult and frustrating. However, it can improve our overall facility and the service we bring to you.

Now that we’ve had a full month to test our new policy, we want to respond to your feedback. It is clear that the overriding issue is the difficulty of wearing the band in any form while lap swimming. It is also clear that the safety goal will be compromised if the band is not used at all times except in a class setting which includes an instructor with no more than eight students.

Therefore, we have determined that there will no longer be a fee charged for the first silicone band, and two sizes will be available. Please understand that this is not a way to burden our members, but rather a plan that will soon become a common practice in all aquatic facilities.

Sincerely,
Wiffle Athletic Club Management

Customer review for: Event Supply Plus


By: Barbara Szanto
Date: May 28

My firm, Ardac Technology, had me plan our May 9 staff party. I’m really happy I tried Event Supply Plus for the first time — they even handled the space rental and event set-up for us. I purchased from them a handy decorating kit, along with a banner and gift bags featuring our company logo. Selecting balloons was a challenge, but they helped me out by sending out samples. In the end, I chose a packet of blue star-shaped balloons. They were so eye-catching that most of the 80 guests in attendance noticed them right away. All in all, our party was a big success! I will use this company again for our December banquet.

Questions 191-195 refer to the following summary, e-mail, and newsletter article.

Responding to paperwork management issues: Summary

This document details the results of an inquiry performed by Denovac Business Consultants (DBC) at the request of Organic-Mor Foods. The goal of the study was to determine whether the company’s personnel records could be streamlined and more effectively managed. It was carried out via statistical analysis and interviews with relevant personnel. The responses of the local district supervisors indicate the need for a timely solution, as employee paperwork passes through their hands on a daily basis. Two key findings were:

• 82% of the respondents reported that managing employee documents is time consuming.
• 74% of the respondents mentioned cost burdens related to staff paperwork management.

This report is divided into three sections: a detailed overview of the client company’s business strategy involving strategic mergers and regional expansions, an in-depth presentation of DBC’s survey findings, and a proposed solution for implementation by management at its Delp City headquarters.

Dear Mr. Branson,

I’ve finally spoken to all the regional managers, and they’re on board to work with me and the vendor on our project. Regarding that, I’d like to suggest that you enlist Recall-Pac for help. They have a good reputation and are based here in Delp City near our headquarters.

A Recall-Pac Solution for a Natural Food Retailer

With nearly 200 stores and 15,000 staff associates, Organic-Mor Foods has become a major natural food retailer. However, its new store openings have produced significant amounts of paper personnel records. Managing this paperwork has, in turn, increased operational costs. Based on a recommendation provided by its consulting firm, the company decided to implement a simple solution to the challenge of managing its paper records. Realizing that the conversion of paper documents to electronic files involved complex decisions, Organic-Mor Foods management turned to Recall-Pac to supervise the entire project. Our specialists helped the company eliminate its paper personnel documents, and now its managers can access associates’ files via computer. This has ultimately saved time and valuable resources.
