Ruth, Attached is an electronic brochure for EMAN Networks. This information should fill in some background on who
we are and what we are about. Additionally, you need more specific information regarding registrations, etc. That
information is contained in the second file attached to this e-mail. This morning you should have received the
map from Potelco outlining our routes.
As I mentioned on the telephone, if more information is needed please call me at 888-399-0297.
