-The 2009 haunted hotel review meeting went well. Nels and Judy have
nearly all the ghosts and ghouls packed away for next year.
-I forgot to note that OMARC donated $427 and Blossom $149 from their
Haunted Hotel food sales.
-Also Steve Rosenfeld has been busy in the archives. He will add the
references information for the newly acquired Marconi Wireless Company
of America drawings to our web finding aid.
-Thanks to the Haunted Hotel, a gift from the Somerville American Legion
and our fund raising the roof repairs and new roof for 9010C and 9010D
will begin soon. This will complete all of 9010. This will enable us
to begin the interior repairs.
-Nels was a wild man this weekend. He collected mountains of leaves.
-The Blossom Family Volunteer Day was great. Kids and families all over
the place. Thanks Michele's organization and to a story by Jamie B. of
the Coast Star the event was well attended. It appears Kyle B. and Joe
G. have joined Blossom too.
-Thank you to Blossom for doing such an excellent post event clean-up.

Meridian Health Corporation and Jersey Shore University Medial Center.

WW2 urinals will go back into sanitary service.
-I still just need put those two repaired windows in the hotel back into
their frames.
