<div><strong>IT Division Maintenance Set for Tuesday, Aug. 15</strong><br>
The IT Division is planning its monthly maintenance period for

your Jefferson Lab-managed desktop system no later than
Friday, Aug. 18. If you have any questions or concerns about
this outage, contact the IT Division Helpdesk at
