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.
