<DIV>Greetings to the citizens of Ponte Alto. </DIV>
<DIV>I hope everyone had a good holiday . And congratulations to Drogo and
Adina as our next Baron and Baroness.I know Ponte Alto will continue to be in
good hands under your tenure.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I do have some news on the storage unit I felt I need to share in case any
one hears of it on the news.</DIV>
<DIV>The Public storage facility in Herndon where we store baronial property
apparently suffered a fire today .However I do not believe at this time that our
unit was affected by this. According to the news report I have found so
far the fire occurred in the 2 story building (where we used to be)
</DIV>
<DIV>Our current unit is on the other side of the property so is about as
far away from that building as it could be. I did try to drive by but fire units
were still blocking Centreville road. I will try again tomorrow to ascertain
this but for now I do not think there is any need for concern that we have any
property damage.</DIV>
<DIV>Will let you know as I have further information</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In service</DIV>
