[Everyone] Power Main

Thu Mar 5 13:10:11 UTC 2026

Good morning!

Wanted to let everyone know that I left town yesterday afternoon, and I'll
be away for a couple of weeks while I help my parents with some things.
It sounds like the utility crews will be spending a lot of time close to my
driveway. If there's anything I need to be aware of, please don't hesitate
to reach out!

Thanks-
Maryann
