A note on procedure for the calls.  In order to maintain good, clear, communication when entering the call you will be asked to state your name.  Plese note that the call may be in progress so you will not be recognized at this time.  

To keep background noise from cluttering the calls it is advisable to press star 6 which puts you in a “mute” mode.  You can hear everything but your clock chiming or the dishwasher running will not interfere with the call with unnecessary background noise.
