M-Au: Nalini, another patient missed an appointment today. A lot of our patients have been forgetting about their scheduled slots lately, even though we call the week before to remind them.

W-Br: Yes, I've noticed that this is becoming a problem. But we have so many patients that we don't have enough time to make more-frequent calls.

M-Au: We should seriously consider automated appointment reminders. There are lots of software programs that do it.

W-Br: That's a great idea. But let's make sure we invest in a good one. I know many offices already use them. I'll ask for some recommendations now.

M-Cn: OK. But this is our peak season. We really need to have the engine fixed as quickly as possible.

W-Am: Well, there are no presentations in the evenings.

M-Cn: You mentioned that you have some cameras already installed, correct?

W-Am: We have some motion-detection cameras to capture movement in some areas. But we'd like to track wildlife at a greater distance. Motion-detector cameras don't really work for that.

M-Cn: You'd need to buy continuous-recording cameras for that. You'll probably get some great videos.

W-Br: And actually, we could post those online. That would be great publicity for the park.

W-Am: Yes, that would be another advantage of installing the cameras.

W-Am: Yes, the company wants us to write a release about its most successful landscaping light products of the year—solar-powered outdoor lights.

M-Cn: That's interesting. They've outsold all the other kinds, including wired landscaping lights. I think consumers like how easy the lights are to install. They don't require any special tools or knowledge to set up.

As a result of this campaign, awareness of our brand among younger consumers is up by 30 percent.

Aisa Ito [10:08 A.M.] I'm so glad I found this forum for users of Canomatik products! Has anyone tried the S20 can opener? The electric can opener I've had for years finally broke.

Tanveer Kumar [10:10 A.M.] I bought one several years ago, but I don't think it was worth the money I spent.

Ingrid Vogel [11:15 A.M.] I like mine. I used to struggle opening cans. This one makes it easier to open cans of all sizes.

Laurie Jacobs [2:12 P.M.] The commercial version is expensive, but there is also a consumer version that costs less.

John Burwood [2:14 P.M.] I ordered mine online, and it was defective. I contacted the company's customer service department, and they sent me a new one that works just fine.

Laurie Jacobs [2:16 P.M.] I used to be a cook at a restaurant years ago, and we had a commercial-grade Canomatik can opener back then. I've been using the consumer version at home for nearly a decade. It opens cans safely and easily.

Aisa Ito [5:15 P.M.] Thanks, everyone. I'll give it a try.

Gerald Anast [9:01 A.M.]
Good. I'm at the distributor's warehouse on Crosby Street. It turns out they have the exact style of pendant lights we need for our latest client, Alsford Guesthouse.

Laura Huu [9:02 A.M.]
I'm surprised you had to go there. We have such a large variety of styles here.

Gerald Anast [9:04 A.M.]
Well, Alsford's management was very specific about their design preference. I'm just glad we'll be able to get those lights. I should be back by late morning. Have you looked over our purchase orders and inventory spreadsheets?

Laura Huu [9:05 A.M.]
I've only been here about ten minutes.

Welcome to the Clarrell Estate—Ballarton's premier centre for the arts! The exquisite grounds of the estate are situated on 60 hectares of hilly terrain featuring lush English gardens and an impressive manor house that was designed by noted architect Owen Barton. Ten years ago, the Clarrell Foundation decided to transform the estate into an arts centre.

The Clarrell Estate's museum and gardens are open to the public free of charge. In addition, the theatre hosts public lectures as well as musical performances, and the studios showcase individual artists' curated works.

Hi Bridget,

I was wondering if you have heard from Sujata Reddy. She was enrolled in the painting class I teach on Tuesday and Thursday. She was only able to attend for the first week because another commitment came up. She said she asked someone in the Tucson Adult School office if she could drop the class, and she has requested a refund of the course tuition.

She said she hasn't received her refund yet. Did she contact you?

Hi Marybeth,

The name is familiar, but Ms. Reddy hasn't been in touch with me personally. Actually, I'm not the person she should contact. I just handle the scheduling as well as ordering supplies for the art classes.

I don't know who Ms. Reddy spoke to. According to our refund policy on the Tucson Adult School Web site, refunds are only granted if they are requested before the class begins or if there is a documented health reason for dropping the class. In the case of a health reason, the amount of the refund will be based on the number of classes completed.

Maybe Ms. Reddy can attend your second semester class instead of this semester's. That would be my suggestion.

New Bakery Coming to Town

OREVALE CITY (October 14)—A Cresson's Bakery is opening soon at the corner of Canton Avenue and Ridley Street. The location will be the national chain's first within the city limits. Like all Cresson's Bakery stores, it will operate seven days a week.

The only similar business in the vicinity is the Donut Station on the Kupperman University campus. Cresson's Bakery will offer breakfast sandwiches and fruit juices in addition to its signature coffee and baked goods. The company is following its revised business model to open compact facilities rather than sit-down eateries. This means the Orevale City location will offer takeout and drive-through service only.

The bakery will occupy Canton Avenue's smallest vacant lot. Approval for the project followed a public hearing where area residents voiced mixed opinions.

Gina Holton, who lives on Paxton Road, said she liked the idea of having a new bakery in her neighborhood but worries about traffic congestion on Ridley Street. As evidence, she presented pictures of heavy vehicle traffic there. Wofford Drive resident Steven Lu said he would enjoy having a convenient place to grab a quick snack.

Cresson's Bakery is slated to welcome its first customers in early March.

Passage 2

Dear Editor,

As a lifelong resident of Orevale City, I appreciate your coverage of Cresson's Bakery. Unfortunately, the October 14 article contained some inaccurate information. The photos that I shared during the public hearing captured images of traffic congestion in front of my house. Also, as a member of the city's Historic Preservation Committee, I was primarily concerned about the bakery's architecture. The initial building design for Cresson's Bakery was contemporary. I am pleased to report that the chain has agreed to modify the exterior so that it blends in better with the older structures surrounding it.

Sincerely,
Gina Holton

Dear Ms. Susilo,

As you may know, Raxconnect has been expanding its services in the Glasgow area over the past year. Our new fibre-optic cable lines offer faster and more reliable service and eliminate the need for aboveground wiring. In order for the system to work, we need to install Internet connection devices throughout the city. Phase 1 of our construction work involved City Centre. Phase 2 involved West End. Although Phase 2 took longer than expected, we were able to expedite Phase 3 and get back on schedule. Phase 4 is now ready to begin in your area.

Raxconnect would like to place a small Internet connection hub on your property at 29 Lefroy Street. Because of its central location on the street, your front yard would make an optimal connection point. Please call us at 0141 496 0001 by 10 April to let us know whether we may proceed. Thank you.

Ben's Nonprofit Burst—Resources for those who work in the nonprofit sector

Getting Grants

Posted on August 18 by Ben Fineman

Grant writing is the art of completing applications for financial aid offered by government agencies, schools, corporations, or other entities. There is huge competition for grants and no room for mediocrity in grant writing. To improve your grant-writing skills, consider taking an online course taught by Kristina Gilliam of Meadow Park University. Her Writing Great Grants course is divided into four 90-minute interactive sessions. It is designed for people with some basic knowledge of grant writing. These Monday evening classes run from November 15 to December 6. For details and registration, visit www.kristinagilliam.ca/course. Use the promo code NPBURST at checkout to get 15 percent off the $350 tuition. This code expires on September 30. On October 1, only full-price registration will be available until the final registration day, November 1.

Thank you for participating in my Writing Great Grants course. Please take a moment to tell me about your experience by filling out the form below.

Name: Natalie Ballard

Location: Winnipeg

Comment: Relatively short compared to other writing courses I've taken, Writing Great Grants provided a decent overview. I was impressed to learn that the instructor helped companies get millions of dollars in grants during her career, and I'm glad to now have her as a resource if I ever get hired as a grant writer. Fortunately, I used Ben's Nonprofit Burst's promo code when I registered. Otherwise, I'd have considered the tuition too high. The Web site gave me the impression that Ms. Gilliam would include more specifics about the actual writing process than she did.

Name: Paul Voigt

Location: Toronto

Comment: This was a great course overall. The instructor shared a wealth of valuable insights, including her experiences as the founder of Orden International. I never realized that grant-writing firms even existed! I might start one of my own if I ever leave my current grant-writing job. The course focused mainly on researching grant opportunities and analyzing samples of successful grant applications. When several of us asked for specific writing tips during the final session, Ms. Gilliam simply referred us to other resources. The course description on her Web site was a bit misleading in that regard.
