7. an event which a company pays for in order to get advertising PR EVENT
Soal :
Being successful in business takes much more than just a good product or service. With
more and more competition for consumers' business, companies want to maximize every
advertising dollar they spend. But while many companies focus mainly on TV commercials,
there are other ways of creating a brand image without spending huge amounts of money on
TV ads.
First, companies should choose their logo very carefully. A logo should be simple both in
design and color. It should also represent the "spirit" of the company. For example, airlines
like logos that are both solid and full of open space, representing security, motion, and the
open sky. Banks often use bulky and wide logos that give the impression of stability. A logo
will represent the company not only in advertising but in countless other ways: on its
letterhead, its website, its employee business cards, etc. But more than this, when
companies merchandise their logo, they release it so that it can be used on products like
hats, mugs, pens, jackets, backpacks, etc. These products can be sold or given out as gifts.
These products, often produced cheaply, are then given to customers who give the company
even more exposure.
Pertama, perusahaan harus memilih logo mereka dengan sangat hati-hati. Logo harus
sederhana baik dalam desain dan warna. Itu juga harus mewakili "semangat" perusahaan.
Misalnya, maskapai seperti logo yang padat dan penuh ruang terbuka, mewakili keamanan,
gerak, dan langit terbuka. Bank sering menggunakan logo besar dan lebar yang memberi
kesan stabilitas. Sebuah logo akan mewakili perusahaan tidak hanya dalam periklanan
tetapi dalam banyak cara lain: pada kop suratnya, situs webnya, kartu nama karyawannya,
dll. Tetapi lebih dari ini, ketika perusahaan menjual logo mereka, mereka merilisnya
sehingga dapat digunakan pada produk seperti topi, mug, pena, jaket, ransel, dll. Produk ini
dapat dijual atau diberikan sebagai hadiah. Produk-produk ini, seringkali diproduksi dengan
harga murah, kemudian diberikan kepada pelanggan yang memberi perusahaan lebih
banyak keterpaparan.
Alternatif lain untuk iklan TV mahal dapat dicapai dengan mensponsori acara PR besar.
Misalnya, dengan membelanjakan $ 10.000 dan menyiapkan beasiswa bagi mahasiswa
universitas yang miskin, perusahaan dapat menyelenggarakan perjamuan untuk
memberikan uang beasiswa, memperkenalkan ratusan, jika tidak ribuan, orang baru untuk
produknya. Perusahaan lain lebih suka menyelenggarakan acara publik seperti festival film.
Perusahaan memberikan uang kepada penyelenggara festival dan, sebagai gantinya,
mendapat untuk mengiklankan dalam program dan tanda-tanda dicetak, serta sebelum atau
setelah film diputar di teater. Kejadian semacam ini juga membantu perusahaan
memfokuskan produk atau layanan mereka pada pasar yang sangat spesifik, tidak seperti
iklan TV yang umumnya menarik bagi pasar konsumen yang lebih luas dan kurang
terdefinisi.

Dear Staff:
As you all know, our company is sponsoring two exciting PR events this summer. The first is
the Main Street Art Gala,
and we will be hosting a table there in order to attract new customers.
This festival will start on the 9th and run until the 14th of next
month. Two weeks later, we will be sponsoring the Heart Matters Marathon
for the Heart Disease Foundation. While we won't have a table at this
event, we will be providing staff members to assist Marathon organizers
on the day of the event.
We are seeking volunteers for both events. For any employees who
wish to volunteer their time on weekends, we will provide one half day
of vacation time for any full day at the Gala. The festival will need a
few staff members for weekday afternoons, but we are mainly seeking
weekend volunteers at this point. The Marathon day is scheduled for
Saturday the 30th of next month; any staff members who wish to
participate on this day will be given one half day of vacation time.
Note that all weekend volunteer activities will include one FULL day of
volunteer work.
Sincerely,
Magda Thomas
TRANSALTE :
Seperti yang Anda semua ketahui, perusahaan kami mensponsori dua acara PR yang
menarik musim panas ini. Yang pertama adalah Main Street Art Gala, dan kami akan
menyelenggarakan meja di sana untuk menarik pelanggan baru. Festival ini akan dimulai
pada tanggal 9 dan berlangsung hingga tanggal 14 bulan depan. Dua minggu kemudian,
kami akan mensponsori Heart Matters Marathon untuk Yayasan Penyakit Jantung.
Meskipun kami tidak akan memiliki meja di acara ini, kami akan menyediakan anggota staf
untuk membantu penyelenggara Marathon pada hari acara.
Kami mencari sukarelawan untuk kedua acara tersebut. Bagi karyawan yang ingin
menyumbangkan waktu mereka di akhir pekan, kami akan memberikan satu setengah hari
waktu liburan untuk hari penuh di Gala. Festival ini akan membutuhkan beberapa anggota
staf untuk sore hari kerja, tetapi kami terutama mencari relawan akhir pekan pada titik ini.
Hari maraton dijadwalkan untuk Sabtu tanggal 30 bulan depan; setiap anggota staf yang
ingin berpartisipasi pada hari ini akan diberikan satu setengah hari waktu liburan. Perhatikan
bahwa semua kegiatan sukarela akhir pekan akan mencakup satu hari penuh kerja
sukarela.
Sayangnya, kami tidak akan dapat memberikan pembayaran apa pun untuk hari-hari ini (di
luar waktu liburan yang diberikan), meskipun makan siang akan disediakan di kedua acara.
Kami telah mengizinkan kedua organisasi untuk memperdagangkan nama merek dagang
dan logo kami untuk acara ini, sehingga semua relawan akan menerima jaket dengan logo
perusahaan di bagian depan dan Gala Main Street di bagian belakang. Para sukarelawan
maraton akan menerima kaos dengan logo Heart Matters Marathon di bagian depan. Setiap
anggota staf dapat menjadi sukarelawan untuk satu atau kedua acara.
Silakan hubungi Mary Lou di bagian Sumber Daya Manusia jika Anda tertarik untuk menjadi
sukarelawan waktu Anda. Batas waktu adalah tanggal 2 bulan depan. Terima kasih
sebelumnya untuk semua orang yang bersedia menawarkan waktu luang Anda.
Hormat saya,
Magda Thomas

says, "How?", so he does not know how to use a search engine.

soal :
The correct answer is The stupid things people do. The article says, "...a
website called the Darwin Awards has told true stories about the silly things that
people do," so it gives awards for stupid things, NOT clever things.
2. How many stories about foolish people are there in the article?
You said: 3
The correct answer is 3. There is a story about a nineteen-year-old in Ohio, a
story about a criminal in Conneticut, and a story about a Frenchman in Spain.
D.
The correct answer is True. The article says, "...we don't often reward people for
being really unintelligent...however, a website called the Darwin Awards has told
true stories about the silly things people do." The Darwin Awards are "unusual"
because people usually get awards for clever things.
The correct answer is False. The article says that the Darwin Awards have told
true stories about the silly things people do "Since the mid-1990s...," so the
Darwin Awards started around 1995, not 90 years ago.
3.The boy from Ohio wanted the train to hit his head.
The correct answer is False. The article says, "...a nineteen-year-old fool in
Ohio...put his head in front of a train to see how close he could get to the moving
train before it hit him," so he did not want the train to actually hit his head.
The correct answer is False. The article says, "...a stupid criminal from
Connecticut...tried to escape from the police by driving into the local prison..."

The correct answer is True. The article says, "...a stupid criminal from

The correct answer is True. The article says, "...the Frenchman who robbed two
American Olympic runners...two of the fastest men on Earth..."

innocent tourist, but a Spanish television crew had filmed everything..." The
Frenchman said he was a tourist, but actually he was a thief.
TEST
Having a child who is very clever could be much more difficult for the parents than
a child who is unintelligent, according to scientists. Dr. Peter Congdon from the
Gifted Children's Information Center has seen many children with brilliant minds
and believes that it is not easy for these children to have normal lives.
One famous story was of a girl in England in the early 1980s called Ruth
Lawrence. She was such a genius that she went to Oxford University when she
was 12 years old! It was almost impossible for her to have a normal life because
she was so intelligent that most other people felt stupid or foolish when they were
with her.
So how do you know if your child is a genius? Dr. Congdon says that there are
ways to recognize if your child is very smart. First, the child could be
super-intelligent if he or she asks a lot of questions and has a very good memory.
Also, the child could be above average if he or she likes solving problems. Very
clever children also get bored at school, which was the same problem Albert
Einstein had when he was a child.
TRANSLATE
Salah satu kisah terkenal adalah seorang gadis di Inggris pada awal 1980-an yang
disebut Ruth Lawrence. Dia sangat jenius sehingga dia pergi ke Universitas Oxford
ketika dia berumur 12 tahun! Hampir tidak mungkin baginya untuk memiliki
kehidupan normal karena dia sangat cerdas sehingga kebanyakan orang lain
merasa bodoh atau bodoh ketika mereka bersamanya.
Jadi bagaimana Anda tahu jika anak Anda jenius? Congdon mengatakan bahwa
ada cara untuk mengenali apakah anak Anda sangat pintar. Pertama, anak itu bisa
sangat pintar jika dia mengajukan banyak pertanyaan dan memiliki ingatan yang
sangat baik. Juga, anak bisa berada di atas rata-rata jika dia suka memecahkan
masalah. Anak-anak yang sangat pintar juga bosan di sekolah, yang merupakan
masalah yang sama dengan Albert Einstein ketika dia masih kecil.
TEST
The correct answer is Scientists. The article says, "Having a child who is very
clever could be much more difficult for the parents than a child who is
unintelligent, according to scientists."
The correct answer is She was very clever. The article says, "...Ruth
Lawrence...was such a genius that she went to Oxford University when she was
12 years old!"
3.How did a lot of people feel when they were with her?
The correct answer is If he or she asks lots of questions. The article says that
your "...child could be super-intelligent if he or she asks a lot of questions..." If he
or she gets bored is incorrect because the article only says, "Very clever
children also get bored at school..." It does not say if they get bored in general.
The correct answer is He was too intelligent. The article says, "Very clever
children also get bored at school, which was the same problem Albert Einstein
had when he was a child."

With greater globalization, the ability to not only tolerate but also to manage diversity
in the workplace becomes very important. Businesses and organizations have clients
and customers from all over the world, and their employees are increasingly
reflecting a similar diversity. Effective managers must learn to foster a productive
multicultural atmosphere in the workplace.
The advantages of a diverse workplace are many. One of the most important
benefits is that a diverse workforce will more closely resemble the organization's
client base. Customers will be more attracted to a company that understands their
issues. A heterogeneous workforce will be more likely to bring multiple perspectives
to problem-solving, whereas a homogenous workforce may be more limited. Diverse
workplaces must hone communication skills to bring different people together as a
team. In today's world, soft skills like communication are vital to a company's health.
Companies with experience in managing diversity tend to be more flexible and
adaptable to changing environments. A diverse workforce will also attract employees
from a variety of backgrounds.
There are potential difficulties that may arise as a company moves towards a more
heterogeneous staff. Current employees may react to the new diversity with jokes or
negative remarks. Companies may believe they are satisfying the goal of greater
diversity by hiring a few token members of a particular group. When an organization
practices tokenism, it is unlikely to realize the benefits of diversity. Employees and
customers will recognize that the diversity is not genuine. Tokenism also puts a lot of
pressure on the few representatives of a group. They will be less happy and less
productive.

Dengan globalisasi yang lebih besar, kemampuan untuk tidak hanya mentolerir
tetapi juga mengelola keragaman di tempat kerja menjadi sangat penting. Bisnis dan
organisasi memiliki klien dan pelanggan dari seluruh dunia, dan karyawan mereka
semakin mencerminkan keragaman yang serupa. Manajer yang efektif harus belajar
untuk menumbuhkan suasana multikultural yang produktif di tempat kerja.
Keuntungan dari beragam tempat kerja sangat banyak. Salah satu manfaat
terpenting adalah bahwa tenaga kerja yang beragam akan lebih mirip dengan basis
klien organisasi. Pelanggan akan lebih tertarik pada perusahaan yang memahami
masalah mereka. Tenaga kerja yang heterogen akan lebih mungkin membawa
banyak perspektif untuk pemecahan masalah, sedangkan tenaga kerja yang
homogen mungkin lebih terbatas. Tempat kerja yang beragam harus mengasah
keterampilan komunikasi untuk menyatukan orang-orang yang berbeda sebagai satu
tim. Di dunia sekarang ini, keterampilan lembut seperti komunikasi sangat penting
untuk kesehatan suatu perusahaan. Perusahaan dengan pengalaman dalam
mengelola keragaman cenderung lebih fleksibel dan mudah beradaptasi dengan
lingkungan yang berubah. Tenaga kerja yang beragam juga akan menarik karyawan
dari berbagai latar belakang.
Ada potensi kesulitan yang mungkin timbul ketika perusahaan bergerak ke arah staf
yang lebih heterogen. Karyawan saat ini dapat bereaksi terhadap keragaman baru
dengan lelucon atau komentar negatif. Perusahaan mungkin percaya bahwa mereka
memuaskan tujuan keragaman yang lebih besar dengan mempekerjakan beberapa
anggota token dari kelompok tertentu. Ketika sebuah organisasi mempraktikkan
tokenisme, tidak mungkin untuk menyadari manfaat dari keberagaman. Karyawan
dan pelanggan akan menyadari bahwa perbedaan itu tidak asli. Tokenisme juga
memberikan banyak tekanan pada beberapa perwakilan dari suatu kelompok.
Mereka akan kurang bahagia dan kurang produktif.

When I was first hired by my company, I was really excited. It was the perfect
job for me, and I was going to have a lot of responsibility. Unfortunately, it
hasn't worked out as well as I hoped. The company told me they had a diverse
workforce, but that wasn't true. As a member of a minority group, I am one of a
few token minority employees. I am in a high visibility position, and when the
company meets with minority clients, I am always included. This makes me
unhappy because I feel like I'm telling a lie. Also, some of my coworkers seem
unhappy with my hiring. They were a fairly homogenous group and some of
them have made jokes or comments about my background. Now, I am thinking
about quitting. What should I do?

It sounds like your new company is making some common mistakes. When
companies decide to make their workforce more heterogeneous, they don't
always plan as well as they should. Tokenism is not diversity. As your
experience shows, it can create bad feelings in everyone. The first thing you
should do is share your feelings and experience with someone who can help. If
you communicate well with your supervisor, you could talk to him or her.
Another good resource is the human resources department. Find out if there
are plans to hire more minorities. Describe your experience so far.
Management or Human Resources can arrange for training in communication
and problem-solving.
On the positive side, your company has made a decision to increase diversity.
The company probably wants to build and/or maintain relationships with
minority customers. This provides a powerful incentive to get this right. I think
you should give your employers the opportunity to correct their mistakes. If
they don't respond effectively, then you should begin looking for another job.

1. The woman is giving advice to employees on how to deal with customers
who complain.
You said: False
The correct answer is False. The woman says, "your complaint" and "let them know
'I have a problem...'" The woman is giving advice to customers on how to complain
effectively.
Great! You got it right.
2. The woman thinks you should always complain if you are not happy with the
service.
You said: True
B.
1. Customers should complain in a loud voice.
You said: False
The correct answer is False. The woman says, "…keep cool and be very polite...if
you're yelling and screaming and swearing, your complaint won't be taken
seriously...Staying calm is the surest way to get the resolution you want." Her advice
is to talk in a calm voice without yelling or screaming.
2. Always try to get the company to give you money back or money off a future
product or service.
You said: False
The correct answer is False. The woman says, "Think about what result you want
before you begin and then stand your ground. Make sure you get some sort of
refund or compensation for your trouble, or at least an apology." She gives the
example of a refund (your money back), but says to decide yourself what result you
want, which might not be money but another kind of compensation or an apology.
3. Always complain straight to a manager or supervisor.
You said: False
The correct answer is False. The woman says, "If you're not happy with the way the
person is handling the situation, work your way up the ladder until you get somebody
who can help you. Generally, once you mention the word 'supervisor' or 'manager,'
people start taking you seriously." She means that if the first person you talk to
(which is usually an employee at a lower level) is not helpful, speak to a manager or
supervisor, but she does not say to always go straight to them.
4. If the company doesn't help you with your complaint, tell other people about
your bad experience with them.
You said: True
The correct answer is True. The woman says, "But if the company still doesn't take
action, as a last resort, your best weapon is word-of-mouth." Word-of-mouth means
spreading information or stories by telling other people, who then tell other people.

there again themselves." Fifty-one percent of people who hear about someone else's
bad experience with a company don't go back to them.
TEST
A.
1. What does she say about complaining in restaurants?
You said: She feels more confident about doing it now than she did in the past.
The correct answer is She feels more confident about doing it now than she did in
the past. The woman says, "I never used to complain in restaurants. I didn't feel
comfortable doing it, but over the years, I've become more assertive, so now if I'm
unhappy with the food or the service, I always say something." She used to feel
uncomfortable complaining in restaurants, but she is more assertive and confident
about doing it now. She doesn't complain every time she goes to a restaurant, just if
she is unhappy with something.
2. Why does she wait until she is paying the check to complain?
You said: Because she is worried the waiter might do something bad to her
food.
The correct answer is Because she is worried the waiter might do something bad to
her food. The woman says, "You have to be careful about complaining to somebody
who is going to touch your food though — they could do something awful to it! — so I
don't usually complain until I'm paying the check." She is worried that if she
complains before or during her meal, the waiter may do something bad to her food.
3. What problem did she have at the Italian restaurant?
You said: is There was a fragment of shell in her food
The correct answer is There was a fragment of shell in her food. The woman says,
"...halfway through a pasta dish in an Italian restaurant I found a piece of shell in it,
from a mussel or something...I could easily have broken my tooth on it." There was a
piece of shell in her pasta, perhaps a fragment of mussel shell. She only says she
could have broken her tooth on it, not that she did.
4. What happened as a result of this problem?
You said: The manager let her have the meal half price
The correct answer is The manager let her have the meal half price. The woman
says, "As I was leaving, I quietly told the manager about it and he gave me a 50
percent discount just like that. Perfect resolution!" The manager cut the cost of the
meal by 50 percent, or half.
B.
1. What happened to the person who was coming to fix her dishwasher?
You said: He didn't come
The correct answer is He didn't come. The woman says, "My dishwasher broke the
other day and the company said they'd send someone to fix it between 9 and 2, so I
waited around all day but by 3:30 no one had showed up." The person didn't come
between 9 and 2 as arranged.
2. What happened on the phone?
You said: She spoke to lots of people, but no one solved the problem.
The correct answer is She spoke to lots of people, but no one solved the problem.
The woman says, "So I called them and the person who answered said, 'OK, well, I
can't really help you. Let me transfer you to somebody else,' and I was transferred
from person to person, telling the same story over and over but without anyone
actually taking action." She was passed from person to person and had to say what
her problem was many times, but no one took action and solved the problem. They
did put her on hold for 10 minutes at one point, but she did get to speak to people.
3. How did she behave on the phone?
You said: Calm at first, then angry
The correct answer is Calm at first, then angry. The woman says, "I tried to keep
cool but after they put me on hold for 10 minutes, I went crazy." She kept cool or
calm for the first part of the call, but then got crazy or angry later, after they had put
her on hold for 10 minutes.
C.
1. When was the woman's meeting?
You said: The day after the flight she had booked
The correct answer is The day after the flight she had booked. The woman says,
"The woman at the check-in counter told me my flight had been cancelled...I told
them I had to be in Milan that night for a meeting the next day." Her meeting was the
next day, the day after the flight she had booked (which was cancelled).
2. What did the woman at the check-in counter tell her?
You said: She would not be able to fly until the next day.
The correct answer is She would not be able to fly until the next day. The woman
says, "The woman at the check-in counter told me my flight had been cancelled...and
they would put me on their first flight the next morning instead." The woman told her
that her flight was completely cancelled and she would not be able to fly until the
next morning.
3. Why did she finally get to fly on the day she wanted?
You said: Because she kept complaining until she got what she wanted.
The correct answer is Because she kept complaining until she got what she wanted.
The woman says, "I wasn't happy, believe you me. I told them I flew with them
regularly and had spent thousands and thousands of dollars on flights with their
company, and finally one of the managers said that as a last resort, they could put
me on a flight with another airline. Just goes to show what you can get if you stand
your ground." By standing her ground and not giving up, she got them to arrange a
flight for her with another airline.

1. What are they talking about?
You said: A job interview

at Anderson Imports this morning." Ann then asks him about the interview, so this is
the only possible answer.
Great! You got it right.
2. How does Ann feel at the end of the conversation?
You said: Confused
The correct answer is Confused. Ann says, "Huh?" at the end of the conversation,
which implies she is confused. Bill gives Ann the impression that the interview did
not go well, so she is confused when he tells her he got the job.
c.
Great! You got it right.
1. Bill thinks the interviewers didn't like him.
You said: True

Oops! You got it wrong.

looking for, right?" Bill replies, "Yes," so he has enough qualifications.
Oops! You got it wrong.
3. Bill didn't say very much during the interview.

enough for an interview.
Oops! You got it wrong.

TEST
First, companies should choose their logo very carefully. A logo should be simple
both in design and color. It should also represent the "spirit" of the company. For
example, airlines like logos that are both solid and full of open space, representing
security, motion, and the open sky. Banks often use bulky and wide logos that give
the impression of stability. A logo will represent the company not only in advertising
but in countless other ways: on its letterhead, its website, its employee business
cards, etc. But more than this, when companies merchandise their logo, they release
it so that it can be used on products like hats, mugs, pens, jackets, backpacks, etc.
These products can be sold or given out as gifts. These products, often produced
cheaply, are then given to customers who give the company even more exposure.
Alternatif lain untuk iklan TV mahal dapat dicapai dengan mensponsori acara
PR besar. Misalnya, dengan membelanjakan $ 10.000 dan menyiapkan
beasiswa bagi mahasiswa universitas yang miskin, perusahaan dapat
menyelenggarakan perjamuan untuk memberikan uang beasiswa,
memperkenalkan ratusan, jika tidak ribuan, orang baru untuk produknya.
Perusahaan lain lebih suka menyelenggarakan acara publik seperti festival
film. Perusahaan memberikan uang kepada penyelenggara festival dan,
sebagai gantinya, mendapat untuk mengiklankan dalam program dan
tanda-tanda dicetak, serta sebelum atau setelah film diputar di teater. Kejadian
semacam ini juga membantu perusahaan memfokuskan produk atau layanan
mereka pada pasar yang sangat spesifik, tidak seperti iklan TV yang umumnya
menarik bagi pasar konsumen yang lebih luas dan kurang terdefinisi.

Dear Staff:
As you all know, our company is sponsoring two exciting PR events this summer.
The first is the Main Street Art Gala,
and we will be hosting a table there in order to attract new customers.
This festival will start on the 9th and run until the 14th of next
month. Two weeks later, we will be sponsoring the Heart Matters Marathon
for the Heart Disease Foundation. While we won't have a table at this
event, we will be providing staff members to assist Marathon organizers
on the day of the event.
We are seeking volunteers for both events. For any employees who
wish to volunteer their time on weekends, we will provide one half day
of vacation time for any full day at the Gala. The festival will need a
few staff members for weekday afternoons, but we are mainly seeking
weekend volunteers at this point. The Marathon day is scheduled for
Saturday the 30th of next month; any staff members who wish to
participate on this day will be given one half day of vacation time.
Note that all weekend volunteer activities will include one FULL day of
volunteer work.
Sincerely,
Magda Thomas
TRANSALTE :
Seperti yang Anda semua ketahui, perusahaan kami mensponsori dua acara PR
yang menarik musim panas ini. Yang pertama adalah Main Street Art Gala, dan kami
akan menyelenggarakan meja di sana untuk menarik pelanggan baru. Festival ini
akan dimulai pada tanggal 9 dan berlangsung hingga tanggal 14 bulan depan. Dua
minggu kemudian, kami akan mensponsori Heart Matters Marathon untuk Yayasan
Penyakit Jantung. Meskipun kami tidak akan memiliki meja di acara ini, kami akan
menyediakan anggota staf untuk membantu penyelenggara Marathon pada hari
acara.
Kami mencari sukarelawan untuk kedua acara tersebut. Bagi karyawan yang ingin
menyumbangkan waktu mereka di akhir pekan, kami akan memberikan satu
setengah hari waktu liburan untuk hari penuh di Gala. Festival ini akan
membutuhkan beberapa anggota staf untuk sore hari kerja, tetapi kami terutama
mencari relawan akhir pekan pada titik ini. Hari maraton dijadwalkan untuk Sabtu
tanggal 30 bulan depan; setiap anggota staf yang ingin berpartisipasi pada hari ini
akan diberikan satu setengah hari waktu liburan. Perhatikan bahwa semua kegiatan
sukarela akhir pekan akan mencakup satu hari penuh kerja sukarela.
Sayangnya, kami tidak akan dapat memberikan pembayaran apa pun untuk hari-hari
ini (di luar waktu liburan yang diberikan), meskipun makan siang akan disediakan di
kedua acara. Kami telah mengizinkan kedua organisasi untuk memperdagangkan
nama merek dagang dan logo kami untuk acara ini, sehingga semua relawan akan
menerima jaket dengan logo perusahaan di bagian depan dan Gala Main Street di
bagian belakang. Para sukarelawan maraton akan menerima kaos dengan logo
Heart Matters Marathon di bagian depan. Setiap anggota staf dapat menjadi
sukarelawan untuk satu atau kedua acara.
Silakan hubungi Mary Lou di bagian Sumber Daya Manusia jika Anda tertarik untuk
menjadi sukarelawan waktu Anda. Batas waktu adalah tanggal 2 bulan depan.
Terima kasih sebelumnya untuk semua orang yang bersedia menawarkan waktu
luang Anda.
Hormat saya,
Magda Thomas
