Restroom cleaning frequency will also be reduced. Reimbursable tenants are not impacted at this time. Additional details will be distributed when available through leadership and in future PAO Notes. Holiday Email Scam Alert Scammers are taking advantage of the holiday shopping season with fake email shipping notifications that pose as FedEx, UPS or the United States Postal Service. An email will appear in your inbox that looks like tracking information for a package, but when opened will download a virus. Typically, these viruses phish for personal and banking information on your machine. This season, don't let these scams fool you into opening a virus on your computer. Sojourner’s Permits Required for Holiday Travel Reminder from RLSO: check your sojourner permit to ensure that it is still valid for holiday travel. If not, come to Region Legal Service Office, Legal Assistance Department, at Capodichino on the 1st floor of Admin II.
