Dear Robert,
Thank you for your email.
Yes, I'll be more than happy to take part in the orientation held on the earliest possible date.
Please let me know the upcoming dates.
I would really appreciate that.
Best regards,
Mayumi Ogawa
What happened?
Well..., there is a long waiting list. Mayumi has to wait for a couple of months to attend even the first available orientation.
So, what did she do?
One day, Mayumi and I were chatting at one of the table in the atrium at the cantral library.

What happened?
A woman called Vicky happened to walk by and noticed us while we talked in Japanese.

Vicky used to live in Hokkaido, the northern island of Japan.

Apparently she seemed to get kinda nostalgic and talked to us, introducing herself.
Is Vicky a Canadian?
Of course, she is, but a naturalized Canadian, originally from Brazil. We've become friends. And later Vicky took Mayumi to Carnegie Centre to enjoy some music in the theatre.

Is Vicky a member of Carnegie Centre band?
No, she is not, but she joined them voluntarily and played the piano. That's what Mayumi told me. Mayumi was really surprised to find out that Vicky is a telented pianist. Anyway, over there Mayumi happened to see the big poster on the wall.

I see... So Mayumi noticed the above poster. Did she apply for a volunteer position?
Actually Mayumi talked to one of the friendly staff and later met a woman in charge of the volunteer programs.
Did Mayumi get an offer.
Luckily enough, she did after explaining her dream to become a baker in Canada.
What is Mayumi doing at Carnegie Centre?
She is now working in the kitchen.

I see... that's why Mayumi feels profoundly happy, huh?
Yes, she does.
