			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Dear Mike and Eric</strong></p>
<p><strong>I wanted to let you know that at the board meeting Thursday night, a few of the directors said that they and other residents had noticed what a great job the crew did recently on a couple of services. </strong></p>
<p><strong>1)     They wanted to compliment the shrub shearing, especially the meticulous clean-up.  I even saw no traces of missed clippings as I walked to work on Friday. </strong></p>
<p><strong>2)      Second, they complimented the look of the leaf mulch.  It stays in place better and is thinner for less build up.  We would like to go with that at each mulching if possible.</strong></p>
<p><strong>3)      They mentioned the general appearance of the neighborhood as excellent.  We had some die-hard believers in our previous service, but even they are saying they are very pleased with the overall appearance of the grounds. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Thanks so much for making us look good! </strong></p>
<p><strong>Shelley Vance</strong></p>
<p><strong>President ,Cambridge Station</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thank you Eric for the direct line phone numbers. Yes they will be very helpful. I want you to know that I again received some wonderful comments about the lush green beautiful lawn we now have at our Falls Church, Church of Christ. I tell them that Blade-Runners deserves all the credit (pats on the back) for the excellent condition of our property. So many cudo’s Blade-Runners folks.</p>
<p>Sincerely thankful,</p>
<p>Kevin Thie J</p>

<div></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Arial;">As you know, we had our annual perimeter cleanup yesterday. I want to take this opportunity to commend the work of Carlos and Jose. They are both excellent representatives for your company; they worked hard ,efficiently and professionally. They were open to my requests and offered helpful suggestions regarding the property.  This was my first cleanup working with BR and I couldn&#8217;t have asked for a better experience.  I thank you for sending these two gentlemen to work with me on this project.  On another subject, the mowing crew that cuts and trims our lawns is just as professional and excellent; Williamsburg Pond is very fortunate to have the  services of all your outstanding employees.  For the homeowners of Williamsburg Pond, I thank you.</span></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><span style="font-family: Arial;">Eric, Carlos and Blade Runners employees,</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-family: Arial;">Your team did a beautiful landscaping job at our home a few weeks ago.  Leveling off our side yard with top quality soil, moving our side roof drains underground and the additional work at our home has improved drainage and made our property look much better.  Carlos and his crew were very tidy and worked hard to accomplish in one day what would have taken me a month of Saturdays working dawn to dusk.  Well done Blade Runners!.  You have served us well on this project and also several others times over the years.</span></div>
<div> </div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In all of my years of managing this building, as a sideline to my real job of supporting the CFO, I have never seen a more detailed and more perfect spring cleanup. The property looks better than it ever has. The diligence of the workers and their supervisor was astounding. I reluctantly made a small suggestion to them about tossing the rocks that had moved away from their beds adjoining the building, and they were instantly responsive. I did tell them I was not sure I should be telling them what to do (leftover from Links Pond policies), but they were most willing, and I told their supervisor as he checked up on their work. All over the property they explored places and piles of debris that had never been touched! So congratulations to all. I am so glad you are in our corner.</p>
<p>All the best,</p>
<p>June Swan,International Registries, Inc.</p>
