SCRIPT:

[1-3]

Are you a fan of Asian food? If so, you will love Saigon House, which is at 66 Helen Street Try some special Vietnamese dishes for lunch; fresh summer rolls, spicy soups, vegetables and meats And for dinner, how about a special fusion dish, a world famous French dish with traditional

Vietnamese spices? But what really sets the Saigon House apart is its atmosphere

A tropical beach house with tables and wooden ceiling fans makes it open and breezy; a life-sized sailboat in the main dining room We hope that before long, you will come and see for yourself

[4-6]

The company picnic will be held at Greentree Park next Friday Nancy Hadley has arranged many games and activities, and our cafeteria staff will provide all the food If it rains, we'll all go to the Elm Restaurant for lunch Parking is free inside the park But, in order to avoid traffic jam, please use public transportation if possible There are buses leaving at five-minute intervals in the city We look forward to seeing everyone there
