Are we in?

Today I received our weekly "Program Update" from FTIA China Team (which is Betty).  The interesting part relative to us:

We've been told that the next referrals for China will be sent out next week.  The CCAA has been closed for Moon Festival from 9/22 - 24, so chances are they wouldn't make it to the US until later in the week at the earliest.

According to Chinese friends Moon Festival is similar to our Thanksgiving.

On another topic, last night I went to a Mt Adams Community Life sub-committee meeting at the Bar & Grill.  Topics included recapping Cinema in the City (a success), Halloween on the Hill (new plans which sound fun) and the website.  About 14 people attended and man am I impressed with some new neighbors (less than 1 year on the hill) and their level of involvement.

Today we all received a preliminary copy of the Halloween on the Hill Flyer along with map of the candy corners:  NEW THIS YEAR ... Trick-or-Treating made easy!  Be sure to hit all the Corner Candy Distribution Sites along Paradrome, Hatch and Pavillion Streets.  Trick-or Treat is from 6:00-8:00 om and the party continues at TAP & Go!  Parade begins at 5:30 on Guido Street and end with Costume Contest at Monk Fountain.  Contest ages:  0-2; 3-6; 6-12; 13 and up.  The Candy Corners have themes too:  Pirates (Paradrome & Wareham), Fairy Tales (Wareham & Hatch), Superheros (Bevedere and Hatch), Vampires (Fuller & Hatch), Witches and Warlocks (Carney & Hatch), Gangsters & Flappers (Pavillion and Fuller) and Famous Entertainers (St Gregory and Jerome).
