M: I’ve just been talking to the people in the public relations department /
about our community service program. //
It seems they have an annual event / planned for next month. //

What are we going to be doing this year? //
M: We’re going to encourage volunteers /
to help with Community Environment Day. //
We’ll help pick up trash in Greenway Seaside Park. //
Their goal is to get 100 staff members to volunteer,/
but so far only 40 have signed up. //

about publicizing it within the company, don’t you think so? //
