In preparation for the 'bigwigs'

I am combining two emails on the same topic.

Subject line: READ: Board Mtg. Update


We have the privilege of hosting [the] Board Meeting in late October.
The [the] Board will be arriving on Wednesday, October 29. The meeting will be held in the Training Room on Thursday, October 30. Board Members may be stopping in on Wednesday but most likely we will not see them until the morning of the meeting. The meeting will last about half the day. The rest of the day they will be touring the office and spending time with employees. As the date gets closer, your manager will provide you with further details about what to expect.
That week, many of [the] senior management team will also be in our office with some of them arriving as early as Tuesday, October 28.
While it is exciting to have this internationally-based board in our office as well as the [the] executive team, it means that we have a number of things to get in order during the next couple of weeks.
* Please make sure to clean your work area.
* Be mindful of the coffee stations (they've been a bit messy lately).
* The office carpeting will be cleaned. Accidents happen. If you spill something, please notify [receptionist] so we can get it taken care of.
* The restrooms will be scrubbed. It is up to you to ensure they remain that way.
* No dishes should be left in the kitchen sink. If they are they won't be there when you come back :)
During the week of October 27, please be mindful of the following policies as they will be strictly enforced:
* Dress is our normal "Business Casual" with the emphasis more towards Business than Casual. On Thursday, no jeans.

* ID badges must be worn at all times.
* Personal cell phone use is prohibited in the office. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns.

Thank you for making [the] Center a great place to work.

Good morning,

Just a friendly reminder to please make sure that your work station is in an orderly manner for next week. While [the] Board Meeting will be taking place on Thursday (Oct. 30), PR Newswire executives will begin arriving to our offices on Tuesday (Oct. 28).
This Friday evening (Oct. 24), the interior hallway carpet and the Training Room carpet will be cleaned. For those of you working on Friday evening, please be cautious of the equipment and workers that may be in the hallway.
The refrigerator will also be cleaned out this Friday, Oct. 24 at 8:00 a.m. There are plenty of take-out containers that have been in there for quite a while. It may be in your best interest to get them removed before Friday. Remember, anything that does not have a name on it (other than items that have expiration dates) will be tossed -- no exceptions.
Every one needs to be extra careful next week -- especially near the kitchen where there seems to be the most damage to the carpet. As I mentioned earlier, if you spill something notify [receptionist] immediately so that we can get it cleaned up. If it happens after hours, please send [receptionist] an email and she'll take care of it the following morning.
Know the executive team. Next week, I'll send out some info on [the] Board.
