<DIV>Hi Gary,</DIV>
<DIV>Yes, we are dealing with that right now. </DIV>
<DIV>After the building inspector saw our pit covers a few weeks ago, we have have been thrust into this problem.</DIV>
<DIV>We are seeking quotes on orchestra pit nets now. </DIV>
<DIV>Our open pit cannot be more than 48" deep without a net so we either have to build up the floor or provide a net. </DIV>
<DIV>We also have to rebuild or build in more supports for our pit covers. </DIV>
<DIV>If you want more informaton, I could put you in touch with our TD, Ruth Conrad, who is the person dealing directly with it.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Dear Friends,<BR><BR>You may already have received this, but it is so important, I'm passing it along.<BR> <BR>Quincy Jones has started a petition to ask President-Elect Obama to appoint a Secretary of the Arts. While many other countries have had Ministers of Art or Culture for centuries, The United States has never created such a position. We in the arts need this and the country needs the arts--now more than ever. Please take a moment to sign this important petition and then pass it on to your friends and colleagues.<BR><BR><FONT face=Geneva color=#0000ff><A href="http://www.petitiononline.com/esnyc/petition.html">www.petitiononline.com/esnyc/petition.html</A></FONT></FONT><FONT face=Palatino color=#000000><BR><BR><FONT size=2>Happy New Year!</FONT></FONT></DIV>
