Planning a retirement party

Trish: Hey, Garrett. We should start planning Bill’s retirement party. His last day is a month from today.

Garrett: Yes, let’s talk about it! Do you have a few minutes now?

Trish: Yeah. Let me go get a pen and paper so I can take some notes.

Garrett: Okay.

Trish: So, what do you think? Should we have the party at the office or somewhere else, like a restaurant?

Garrett: I think the office is too small. And he’s been here twenty-five years. I feel like that calls for an out-of-the-office celebration.

Trish: I agree. I think that would be more enjoyable for everyone. And that way Bill’s family can come if they want.

Garrett: Yep.

Trish: I’ve heard great things around that new restaurant Hearth. Have you heard of it?

Garrett: Yeah, I have! I’ve been meaning to try it.

Trish: Me too. They have a room in the back that you can reserve for events. Let’s look online and see how much it is.

Garrett: Okay.

Trish: Oh, the price isn’t that bad. It’s $300 for a three-hour event.

Garrett: That sounds good for such a nice restaurant.

Trish: Yeah. Hmm… what day should we have the party?

Garrett: What about Friday, August 5?

Trish: I think that’s perfect.

Garrett: Great! Does the restaurant provide food?

Trish: They probably provide some drinks and appetizers.

Garrett: All right, I’ll write down some questions to ask the restaurant. Do you want to ask everyone if they can make it that day?

Trish: Sure!
