Good morning, everyone. Thank you for coming to this meeting. Unfortunately,
Kevin W won't be with us today. He's in Rome meeting with suppliers about a new
line of men's clothing we might start offering in our store. Before we start, I'd like
to mention that sales went up by 5% last month. This is mostly due to the
popularity of our latest line of women's summer dresses. However, we need to start
thinking ahead and plan for the winter season. I've been looking into an exciting
line of sweaters and coats from a young Japanese designer. What I'd like to do now

will fit our market.

(W-Am) I'd like to give you all a quick update on our search for a new office
space. We were considering two buildings, one on Rose Avenue and the other on
Hillside Street, and we've decided on the HillsideStreet location It's a brand new
building with a spacious and attractive reception area, two large conference rooms
and comfortable offices. It's close to the airport and train station, so clients will
find it more convenient than our current space, and the rent is quite affordable.
Our move is scheduled for the week of September 12th. I'll give you more
information and show some photos of the building at our meeting on Monday
