********************************* NOTE 8-14-01 *****************************

Hello,

I hope this note finds everyone well.

I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know we will be moving the
SafetyAlerts site to a new server over the next 4 or 5 days.  We are doing
everything possible to make this a smooth transition.  However, inevitably,
there will be some problems along the way.  Please be assured that if there
is a problem we will have the techs working on it, and if any problems you
experience do persist into the middle of next week - please write me at the
address near the end of this mailer and the problem will be looked into
immediately.

Thanks for your patience.  ..Paul Walsh

*This note will be in the mailer for the next several days so all list members
have an opportunity to read it.  Thanks again.
