1965/09/24: [Evelyn Naser] to Suzette Morton Zurcher (3.85906)
Date: September 24 1965Creator: Naser, Evelyn M.
Type: Document
Description:Letter from [Evelyn Naser] to Suzette Morton Zurcher saying she hopes Mrs. Zurcher is having a wonderful time on her trip and hopes the weather has been nice. At the Arboretum, it has been rainy. Tea room business is poor. Plans for the Fall Festival are going well, but other than counting the reservations for the dinner, they have no way of knowing how many people will attend. The Quarterly and the folders have not yet arrived. She and Tony examined a new water cooler, and they both liked it. The bulletin board project is at a halt until Mrs. Zurcher returns due to a disagreement between Arnie and Naser. Naser believes Mr. Kettleman will do a good job. Mrs. Watts has lined up everyone for the Prairie Path Day on October 23. Twenty-five people will lead walks on various parts of the path for people with different interests. Ray got back last night and is anxious to tell Zurcher about his trip. The health inspectors inspected the Tea Room and had nothing but good words for it. Alma Greene's husband had brain surgery yesterday. It went well, but he is in pain and most uncomfortable. The Jens Jensen exhibit had to be sent on, so Tony is going to Whitnall Park to check out a mushroom exhibit they would be willing to loan the Arboretum; Naser wants an exhibit hung during the Fall Festival in case there is inclement weather.

1965/10/06: [Evelyn Naser] to Suzette Morton Zurcher (3.85907)
Date: October 6 1965Creator: Naser, Evelyn M.
Type: Document
Description:Letter from [Evelyn Naser] to Suzette Morton Zurcher updating her about events around the Arboretum. It rained all day the day of the Fall Festival. Even so, the Festival was a success with about 600-700 people attending. The Tea Room served 150 for lunch, 70 for tea, and almost 300 for dinner. Naser suggests that they do not have the Fall Festival at the end of September because the auditors require an inventory count on October 1. They had to bring in staff to count early in the morning after the Festival. She suggests they do the Festival the third week in September. They are still working on getting a new water cooler; the one they wanted is no longer available. The Arboretum is starting to get quite busy. The Tea Room was swamped, and the slide shows were well-attended. The fall color is coming in good. The boss is back, returning several days early due to rain. Carol is getting settled in her new home, and she helped Marlie move. Martin Anderson is in Florida on vacation, and Walter is in the process of building a small summer house in Michigan. She is enclosing a copy of a rather dizzy letter from a man who attended their beef stew dinner that gave them a good laugh.
