All staff Carol Yates CCS Conference l June lID Conference schedule

Dear Staff, The 12th annual conference of the Caribbean Culinary Society (CCS) will take place here in Jamaica from 16 to 20 July. I have received a request from Chef Regina Tufton, chair of the organising committee, to conduct two workshops. It is an honour to be invited by such an accomplished culinary expert, someone who is also the author of five cookbooks on Caribbean cuisine. More importantly, it is a wonderful opportunity for Yates Restaurant to showcase some of its award-winning delicacies. The first workshop will focus on cooking techniques inspired by French cuisine. As Assistant Chef Duane Munroe has distinguished himself in this regard, I have asked him to help me with this presentation. The second workshop will address the challenges and rewards of running a food establishment. Since Zavia Pinnock has been doing an outstanding job of managing our restaurant, I have requested her input on the topic. I encourage each of you to attend one or more conference sessions. Of course, the restaurant must remain open and be well staffed during the conference period. So that I can be sure that we have enough staff on hand during the period of the conference, please let me know by 21 June the day(s) and time(s) of the session(s) you wish to attend. For your convenience, a copy of the conference schedule is attached. Sincerely, Carol Yates

Clay, You may remember that we recently discussed ideas for an outing for the employees and their families. I think the best idea is to go to a baseball game. I have always enjoyed taking my family to see the Billington Buffaloes, our local team. You might have noticed that several of the photos in my office were taken at the stadium! And since I usually see other staff members at the games, I think this wi II appeal to most of our group. Could you please set this up for June 28? I believe it can all be done online if you prefer. By my calculations, we will need 45 tickets in total, but please double-check this number. Also, I would like food to be provided. Let's limit our cost to under $20 per person and make sure the seating is covered just in case the weather is poor. Please send me the details as soon as the tickets are purchased. Thanks, Hiroaki Yoneya, Associate Manager Western States Milling, Inc.
