Let’s see if I can get this right this time: Saturday’s potluck dinner goes from 5:30 until 8:00. My apologies—it’s been a long week.

Potluck Correction
Oops! The times for the potluck are 6:00 to 8:00 (that “4:30” was a typo).
Potluck Reminder
The Canal Place potluck gathering is coming up on Saturday, November 4th from 4:30 to 8:00 in the first floor atrium. For more information and to let the organizers know you’ll be coming—and what you’ll be bringing—please click here.
For those of you who’ve already signed up, please remember to bring (in addition to your contribution of food) serving utensils, your own beverage, and chairs. Napkins, cups, plates, and eating utensils are being provided.
My husband and I have been here for 8 years and this the first time there’s been a building-wide social event. We’re really looking forward to it and hope to see you there!
Does anyone know these guys?
We had an incident last Friday where 3 people followed someone into the building and then proceeded to romp around the water area in the atrium making a music video.
If anyone can identify them, please contact Cathy Deloge (royal.cathy@comcast.net).
Hot Water Heater Safety Shut-off
Georgi asked me to share the info below. We had one of these installed on our water heater a few years back. It wasn’t terribly cheap (as I recall it was around $300; I can double-check if anyone wants) but was worth it for the peace of mind.
There is a product available that not only warns you when your water heater or washing machine starts leaking water but also TURNS OFF the water to save you a hefty water damage repair bill.
You can check it out at www.floodmaster.com.
The best time to install it would be if you were getting ready to replace your water heater. I don’t know the cost of the product; I do know that you have to have an electrical outlet nearby for it to be plugged into.
But if you have ever seen the damage that unrestrained water can do to a floor, ceiling – or the unit below you – you will want to check out this product.
Heat is on (part two)
Apparently when the heat was turned on yesterday there was a problem with one of the pumps. It has now been fixed and the heat is working. I just tried mine out and it took about five minutes to really get going but then it was blowing out nice toasty-warm air.
Heat Is On!
For those of you thinking it’s getting a bit nippy, I just got a message that the heat is on. I’m testing mine out right now and still not getting much heat but I assume that’s just because the boilers haven’t yet gotten the system up to temperature.
Any future problems with your heat should be reported to Cathy Deloge (royal.cathy@comcast.net).
Trick or Treating Postponed
Trick or Treating in Lowell has been postponed to Friday, November 3rd because of the damage wrought by last night’s storm. While Canal Place wasn’t affected directly, it’s been decided to delay our in house trick-or-treating to Friday as well. Trick-or-treating in our building will be held this Friday from 6-8pm.
Trick or Treating
The pumpkin notices about Trick or Treating in the building (always a fun event) have appeared on doorsteps but without times on them. In the past it’s always been from 6:00 to 8:00. Can anyone confirm that time frame?
The Annual Monster Stroll happens today downtown. Please watch for the little monsters if you go driving anywhere.
And if you haven’t signed up for the Association Potluck next Saturday, you can do so here. This is a wonderful (and rare) chance to get to meet your neighbors.
Board Meeting Tonight
There a board meeting tonight (Wednesday the 25th) in the lobby office at 7:00. Residents welcome.
