Trade Store Adds Space in Two Stages By Frances Ibarra, Pemberton Thurlow Trade Supply is enlarging its Pemberton outlet in two stages, with a temporary entrance in use until the work ends. The store occupies most of a two-level converted warehouse. Bulk orders sit on the upper level, which staff reach by a freight lift shared with the sign-making workshop that rents the rest of that level; customers wait at the counter while items are carried down. --[1]--. The trade counter and the timber yard stay open throughout. --[2]--. Construction of the extension is under way and will continue for about two months. --[3]--. For that period, deliveries and customer pickups both use a temporary gate at the rear of the yard, as the main vehicle entrance is closed. Stage-by-stage opening Stage What becomes usable Stage 1, from March 3 Tool and fastener aisles on the extension's ground floor Stage 2, from April 14 Second trade counter and indoor paint mixing area Only holders of a Thurlow trade account may enter the new aisles when stage 1 opens, and account numbers will be checked at the aisle entrance. The extension is open to every customer from April 14. --[4]--. Questions about site access may be sent to the store's order desk.

Hartwell Business Licensing Office Permits and Registrations Unit 84 Fenwick Street, Hartwell October 9 Ms. Judith Alvarado Ingleby Grocery 17 Fordyce Road, Hartwell Reference: License File BL-5083 Dear Ms. Alvarado, Our records show that your premises hold two separate annual authorizations, a retail sales permit and a sidewalk display permit. From the coming renewal cycle, these two permits will be combined into a single yearly business license, and one renewal will cover both activities. The two permits have run on separate schedules since the store first opened, and each has required its own form. Please complete the enclosed renewal form and return it to this office by November 15. The fee basis is unchanged, so the amount you pay will be the same as last year. The file code shown above stays with your record and should be written on the form. Holders may now elect a three-year term in place of the standard one-year term. This choice is available only where the record carries no unpaid charge and no open inspection item. Payment by monthly installment will not be offered. As in past years, a reminder notice will be mailed to you before your license expires. You need not surrender your current certificates. Keep them on display until the new license reaches you. Questions about any entry on the form may be sent to this office at the address above. Sincerely, Yolanda Pike Supervisor, Permits and Registrations Unit Enclosure: consolidated license renewal form P.S. The two former permit forms will be withdrawn on December 1. Any renewal submitted on them after that date will be returned to you unprocessed.

To: Vincent Buhler From: Odette Marchetti, Orders and Collections Desk Date: March 11 Subject: Reply to your inquiry about the Ember 300 camp stove Inquiry reference: E-2296 Dear Mr. Buhler, Thank you for coming to the orders desk this morning to ask about the Ember 300 camp stove. I checked our shelves and our stockroom after you left, and I am sorry to tell you that we do not carry this model here. Compact-format stores such as ours receive only part of the chain's product range, and the larger cooking equipment is placed with the full-size stores. The stove is held elsewhere in the region, and any full-size store can send a unit to our counter at no cost to you. There is one rule for these transfers. A store may release a unit only when at least one will remain on its own sales floor. A unit that is sent reaches our collection counter on the day after it leaves the sending store. You told me that you leave on Saturday morning and would need the stove by Friday. Please review the regional availability page and let me know which store you would like the unit to come from. I will enter the transfer as soon as I have your answer. Sincerely, Odette Marchetti Orders and Collections Desk Regional availability page: on-hand figures, transfer days, and collection counter hours for every store in the region.

Home / For organizations / Arranging a course series Ryecroft Skills Center: Arranging a Course Series Quick links: topic list, room guide, invoices, programs desk Employers may book instructor-led sessions for their own staff. Individual learners use our public enrollment page. 1. Send an inquiry naming your subject and staff numbers. 2. Say how the staff are divided and which format each group needs. A seminar uses a classroom. A workshop needs a practical room, available at the Kestrel Street center but not at the Grantham Street annex. 3. A confirmed program with a booking reference follows within five working days. Employers paying in advance are charged five percent less. Employer sessions begin at 6 P.M. or later on weekdays, since daytime rooms are kept for our own public courses. Included with a larger booking: a single program of six sessions or more brings a printed handbook for each participant at no charge. Individual learners pay the listed price. Page last reviewed in March. Other questions go to the programs desk. ---------------------- To: Katrin Nowicki, Personnel Office From: Lorraine Dumont, Claims Services Copy: Wesley Rahman Date: April 20 Subject: Evening training before the changeover Attachment: booking PG-5140, confirmed program Dear Ms. Nowicki, I have approved the booking at Ryecroft Skills Center. The program is attached. Newly appointed claims assistants: eleven staff, none of whom has handled a file alone. A presentation will not prepare them, so they must work at a terminal. I requested the workshop format. Senior assessors and team leaders: seven staff who already approve payments. A classroom review of the changed rules is enough, so I asked only for seminar format. The new procedure takes effect on May 25, and every claim opened from that morning falls under it. I told the center to schedule nothing later than the week beginning May 11. Please check the attached program against both groups and confirm the places by Friday.

PROGRAM NEWS Category Panels Take Over the Awards Judging By Bernard Tomlin, Members' Bulletin What has changed. For several years, every entry to the Alliance Awards was read by the same in-house committee at the association office. That committee now prepares the scoring guide only. Each award category is reviewed instead by a small group of people who put their names forward from member businesses. "A single committee could not read every entry with the care it deserved," said Yvette Bouchard, awards coordinator. "People who run a business judge these entries better than we did." How a sitting runs. Every sitting opens with the chair going through the scoring guide with the panel, before any entry is opened. Entries are then scored one at a time, and each panel agrees on its shortlist before leaving the room. Before you attend. The placements now posted are provisional. Checking of entries continues to the end of February, and a panel may still be altered where a category gains or loses entries. Volunteers are asked to confirm their attendance with the awards office by February 20. The placement notice is displayed on the members' board at the association office on Halsted Street. ---------------------- PLACEMENT NOTICE — CALDERWOOD BUSINESS ALLIANCE AWARDS Valid as of February 12.

Margaret Doyle Owner, Ardley Stationery 14 Hensley Street, Havelock ---------------------- Late Shopping Evenings Draw Steady Crowds By Janet Whelan, Local Business Shops in central Havelock stayed open until 9:00 p.m. on two evenings last week, and the Havelock Retailers' Association reports steady visitor numbers. "Thursday was busier than any Saturday this year, and most of those who came in had never visited us," said Arnold Deming, who keeps a bookshop on Priory Lane. The blocks did not trade on the evenings first published. The South Block shops opened late on Wednesday, October 8, and the North Block on Thursday, October 9, the members having agreed to exchange the two dates. Every participating shop appeared in a leaflet delivered across the town. The association, which meets on the last Tuesday of each month, has forty-one members, and thirty-four opened on one of the two evenings. Printing and delivery were divided among them by frontage. Officers say a further promotion is planned, but no date is fixed.
