Ross,

I'm interested in discussing in more details with you what services/personnel/departments are involved in the BDS Christmas holiday week closure.

Have several plats currently in process that must record this calendar year and looking ahead want to be prepared with how the BDS closure may affect recording effort.

Thanks in advance.
