Dear Mr. Vogel:

On behalf of the Highbrook Library, I would like to offer my sincere thanks

for your generous gifts. The three computers you donated from your store,
along with the extra paper and ink, have helped us to better serve our users.
[1] . We now have five computers and they are almost always in use. In
our last conversation you had asked how the library staff would control use.
We have decided to allow library members to use a computer for free for two
hours. Nonmembers pay $2 for one hour of use. We also ask all patrons to
book a computer in advance because of the high demand. [2] .

In addition, your monetary donation has allowed us to extend our hours. The
library is now open until 8:00 P.M., Monday-Thursday, which has led to a
growth in membership by permitting more people to visit when their workday
is over. [3] . We have even had several book clubs form that meet in the
evenings. Perhaps you would like to join one? [4] .

Next year we will be investigating the possibility of adding a small café on the
first floor near the community meeting room. We hope you will consider
contributing to this project as well, if it seems promising. You will receive
more information in the future about it.

Thank you again for your generous support of the Highbrook Library!

Sincerely,

Elvinna’s

Located just outside of Nassau, the capital city of The Bahamas, Elvinna’s is the ideal venue for
your reception, banquet, or business meeting. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, it is
surrounded by lush gardens featuring a variety of beautiful sculptures.

The Alameda Room seats between 100 and 250 people comfortably, and our largest space, the
Bougainvillea Room, is perfect for up to 300 guests. For business meetings, the Tamarind Room
can accommodate up to 50 guests, while the Waterfall Room, slightly larger, seats up to 80
people. Our two business meeting spaces are outfitted with the latest technology to support
productive and efficient meetings.

Our elegant restaurant, the Candlewood Tree, offers an ample menu that takes into account
many dietary restrictions and preferences. Plan ahead to join us on July 10 when we offer
a special Independence Day dinner menu!

To book an event, visit elvinnas.bs. First-time reservations for select days receive a 15 percent
discount. For further information call 242-555-0135.

Hello, Tanika,

I visited Elvinna’s and looked at the space that you suggested might be right for our company’s
anniversary celebration. Their catering menu would suit the various preferences of our expected
guests, now numbering over 250. Currently, the room is available on two Saturdays, 15 July and
5 August; it is also available on Wednesday, 23 August. Note that this last date would qualify
for a nice discount.

Let me know if I have your approval to book this room. We need to make a decision quickly
before other parties reserve those dates. I'll be in touch soon about rescheduling the awards
ceremony in May.
