So we're feverishly working on getting the office around for the "Community Open House" here at the Eastside Brick building. For those of you who don't know, the office bought the north end of the building just about a year ago. The "Eastside Brick" was the former Kalispell General Hospital built in 1911 and opened in 1912 with 30 beds. They added on the south wing in 1948 and our glorious north wing in 1968. It was the height of the 60's ugly architecture and when Lee walked through it the first time, he said, "I don't want to buy this building...it's ugly!"

But I saw the swan in the ugly duckling with the help of a bunch professionals we transformed it to IMHO a beautiful office space.

So we're having an Open House this Thursday. Karen and I went on a shopping rampage at Rosauer's and Costco. Lee said get some Champagne - so we bought 19 bottles of the bubbly (and three cases of beer and 6 huge bottles of wine). I sure hope the staff doesn't have a huge hangover on Friday!

We sent out 600+ postcards about the Open House, I hope a few people show up. Our office is not the only one joining in on the open house, I think all of the other businesses are also having the open house the same night so hopefully we'll have a few guests!
