My First
visit to the DOD / Hotel complex !!!Dec 10, 2001
Update
I made my first visit to this facility on
Dec 7, 2001. I was invited by CAFA to their Ceremony where Quinsigamond
College was added to the membership, and Gov Jane Swift, Olen Bielski (CAFA
Director of Business Dev), and Town officials presided. The group then
toured the new DOD / Hotel facility and enjoyed lunch in the new facility.
