Could you please check the following for any possible errors? semi-colons, commas, two separate sentences, etc?
A new and exciting change is about to premiere for all Peachtree Professional Park personnel. Beginning June 1, 2013, the following dress code will be implemented in all Peachtree Professional Park offices:
1. All clerical and professional personnel will wear white slacks or skirts. These garments should be comfortably sized, allowing plenty of room for bending and movement. Tight-fitting garments, such as spandex pants, are not permitted.
2. Employees may wear any color blouse or shirt. The blouse or shirt must have a sleeve and may not be low-cut or overly revealing.
3. Peach-colored lab coats will be provided for each employee. The lab coats will be worn over the garments described above and will bear the emblem of Peachtree Professional Park on the pocket. Clean lab coats will be supplied by a local laundry service daily at no expense to employees. Lab coats are not to leave the office and are to be placed in designated laundry bags at the end of each work day.
4. White, professional shoes are to be worn by all employees with white socks, hose, or nylons; employees are reminded that shoes are to look clean and polished.
The new dress code should be a welcome change from the current and traditional “all-white” look. Lab coats will help protect other clothing.
I am looking forward to seeing all of you in the new attire. Remember, June 1, marks the premiere of this “peachy” idea!
