History was made on Jan, 11, 2012 at the Birch Brook Nordic chalet when John Houlahan installed a telephone in the rental office! Birch Brook's phone number is 899-0696 and someone should be available to take calls from Wednesday to Sunday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

It's a basic phone - no leaving messages or pressing 1's or 2's for different options - and we'll decide later how much of that other stuff is needed. In the meantime, what we have is fantastic.

Profuse thanks to John for his hours of work today and his technical wizardry in figuring out what we needed !
