-------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Belinda Pushkin To: All sales staff Subject: Company Picnic
Hello, I just wanted to let everyone know that the Tollins company picnic has been
cancelled because there is a chance of rain on the day we originally chose. As you know,
we wanted to have the picnic outdoors so that employees could participate in a variety of team-building exercises.
We asked the Humble Country Club if we could hold the lunch in their Club House
instead, but unfortunately they told us that Plymouth Autos will be holding a special
banquet to celebrate their 25th anniversary there.
Attached to this email is an Employee Preference Form. I am asking all employees to list
their preferred date for the rescheduled company picnic. I sincerely hope that we can
accommodate everyone’s schedule. Please fill out the form and email it to me by
Thursday, March 21st, at 3 p.m. Regards, Belinda Pushkin Human Resources
