Memo

To: All department staff
From: Jarek Cichy
Re: Annual party-please attend!
As usual, the Board Members are inviting everyone to their annual Appreciation Party held to show their appreciation of the hard work you have all done during the year. This year, as in past years, the Board Members will give out the Employee of the Year award during the party.
I would like to especially encourage each of you to attend the party since this year's Employee of the Year award will be given to the nominee from our department. In addition to the honor and award she will receive from the Board, we're collecting money to buy her a group gift. If everyone contributes just $10, we can buy her the portable DVD player that she wants. See my assistant, Basia, by Thursday at 4:00 to contribute to the gift. I hope to see you all on December 14 at 5:00 P.M.
