It was 33 Degrees at 7:30AM on October 19, 2019 when we left our bungalow for the last time this season and headed south. I took some parting shots of Sylvan Lake, which was covered with fog. Enjoy the pics and have a safe winter. See you in the Spring. 
On October 7th, 2019 all FLCC laundry rooms were updated with brand-new washers and dryers. They make look the same, but they are brand-new. The washers have three load levels: light ($1.50), medium ($1.75) and heavy($2.00). The dryers are $1.50 per cycle. Each Laundry room has a placard with instructions on how to use the machines as well as instructions on how to report an outage. If you have an Iphone you can download the app right in the laundry room to report an issue. It’s easy and no being put on hold. Of course, you can still call if you prefer.
So for all you cooperaters who left before the new machines arrived, we will have all new machines waiting for you in 2020! 
For those of you who might have noticed, there is a trench behind the canteen building. The maintenance staff is currently replacing an older drainage system that is no longer doing it’s job. In addition the septic system in that area is being corrected as well.

We will be hosting John Zaffis “Godfather of the Paranormal”
From his website: https://www.johnzaffis.com/about
“John Zaffis has over forty three years of experience studying and investigating the paranormal. He has had the opportunity to work for and with his aunt and uncle, Ed and Lorraine Warren. This sent John beyond looking for ghosts and hauntings and into studying demonology under the Warrens. This led into John’s involvement with cases of possession and exorcism, which gave him the opportunity to work with prominent exorcists in this field, including Roman Catholic priests, monks, Buddhists, rabbis and ministers. John has assisted and worked with well-known exorcists Bishop Robert McKenna, Father Malachi Martin, and the Reverend Jun.
John has been featured in the SyFy television series Haunted Collector., Discovery Channel’s documentaries A Haunting in Connecticut and Little Lost Souls. John has also appeared on Unsolved Mysteries, Piers Morgan, and many other print and news media events. John also appears in Graveyards and In A Dark Place, both books written by Ed and Lorraine Warren. John’s first book, Shadows of the Dark, co-written with Brian McIntyre, was released in September, 2004. John has also appeared on Ghost Hunters and Ghost Adventures. John is working on multiple follow-up books currently, and is lecturing all over the United States at colleges and universities.
Over the years, John has collected many hundreds of possessed items either given to or sent to him by people wishing to be rid of them. The John Zaffis Paranormal Museum opened in 2004 in order to display these items, and continues to be open today. John wrote and starred in the documentary film Museum of the Paranormal, released in 2010, which gives the viewer a tour of his museum and the stories behind some of the objects. John was the starring role in the television series Haunted Collector which ran on SyFy from 2011 through 2013.
