Dear Shareholder:

As you know, the annual shareholders' meeting has been scheduled for Tuesday,
September 3, 1996 at 10:00 a.m. at the Preston Oaks Clubhouse, 100 Preston Woods
Trail, Dunwoody, Georgia 30338.  Because we want to be sure we have enough
seating to accommodate everyone who plans to attend the meeting, we ask that you
call our receptionist at (770) 394-6000 at your earliest convenience, but in no
event later than Monday, August 26th, to let us know if you will be attending.
We expect the meeting to last approximately two hours and we want the meeting to
be as comfortable as possible for you, our shareholders.

Thank you for your prompt response.  I look forward to seeing you there!

Sincerely,

/s/ Michelle Ellingson

Dear Shareholder:

We appreciate your timely response to our recent letter regarding your
attendance at the Company's annual meeting on Tuesday, September 3rd at 10:00
a.m.

Because of the number of people who have called to tell us they will be
attending, we have made the decision to move the annual meeting location to the
Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza at I-285 and Ashford Dunwoody.  The meeting will be
held in the hotel's Dunwoody Suite.  While we would have preferred to hold the
meeting at Preston Oaks so that our shareholders would have the opportunity to
visit one of our newest communities, we were worried that the parking and
seating would not be adequate.  With the change in location, everyone attending
the meeting will have a seat and be able to comfortably enjoy the meeting.

For your convenience, we have attached a map showing the location of the Holiday
Inn Crowne Plaza.  If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at
(770) 394-6000.

Sincerely,

/s/ Michelle Ellingson
