What are the speakers discussing? [originaltext]M:(53)Julia, is everything okay

M:(53)Julia, is everything okay for the company anniversary party? What’s the latest number on the registration list?
W: Just about capacity, 120 people or so. It’s amazing so many people including some of the loyal customers responded to our email.
M: How is that possible?(54)| thought we might get half that number around 70. We should be in a hurry to prepare to get enough food and beverages for everyone. There’s a long weekend coming up,(55)so you might not be able to get in touch with a caterer if you wait till Friday.
W: Don’t worry. I’ve already contacted several catering companies and will receive estimates from them this afternoon.
