Good morning everyone. I’d like to make a few remarks. Let me start by saying, I think the merger is a good idea. If we amalgamate our two small businesses, we can create a more powerful one. With our increased size and financial power, we can amass new investors and raise ample funds to renovate the old hotel. We can attract more guests by adding amenities, like a swimming pool, and planting more greenery to create a peaceful ambience. To make it even more special, we can build a special walkway that will allow people to amble amid the trees. The result of our ambitious project will amaze the community. 
After we finish the renovations, we can take photos and post them on our Internet site. My brother is an amateur photographer and a very amenable individual. I’m sure he won’t charge us for taking photos, as long as we keep the amount of photos down to a reasonable number. 
Then before opening the new hotel, we’ll need to hire and train a new staff amicable people. We don’t want anyone who is ambivalent towards the concept of “personal service.” Such ambivalence is bad for business. We want people who are hardworking and amiable. We’ll also need a manager who has enough ambition to keep the hotel running efficiently.
Okay. For those of you suffering from temporary amnesia, recall that we must vote to amend the company’s by-laws before we can initiate the merger of our two companies. So let’s vote. Everyone in favor of the amendment, say “aye!”
