We have leased additional <br />space, some 3,000 square feet at 1301) Hewitt Avenue, for our food <br />stamp operations. This will take considerable pressure off of <br />our Grand Avenue facility with regards to both waiting rooms and <br />staff space. <br />Concurrently, plans are being developed for decentralization of <br />our Everett Office. These plans are based on providing better <br />service to clients and, in addition, easing of crowded facilities. <br />Again, thanks for your interest. <br />11_ \ -. <br />C QUENTEN L.
