Short Talk 258 (Listen and Read)

Hi Belle. It's Norris.

I need you to sort out the venue for our team's annual retreat that's coming up next month.

I tried contacting Lakeside Lodge, the place we discussed,

but they're already fully booked.

They mentioned they could fit us in if we split into smaller groups,

but that doesn't really work for us.

Could you check out Woodland Resort on Elm Avenue, near where it crosses Pine Street?

I've heard they have a spacious conference room that might be just what we need.

I would call myself, but I'm tied up in meetings all day.

Since the retreat is only a few weeks away, we need to get this booked ASAP.

Thanks so much!
