Halloween Golf Cart parade Saturday Oct 28th

Lineup in front of the office at 3:30 to 4pm 

 

We will be trick-or-treating for food for the needy. Any dry goods > can goods > paper products > health > care products > glasses / readers  as we did last year. Last year was so much fun and had a lot of great donations! If you can be out we will collect your stuff from you or just set your stuff at the end of your driveway and we will pick it up. One more option is - there is a Halloween party this year at the hall and you can just bring it there. There is such need in our community and this is our small way we can all help Branden Freeland the minister that did our wonderful Easter service this year at the gazebo. His ministry will be the recipients of our donations. I hope to have him as our guest at the Halloween party. So let’s show him what a generous, caring community we are. Hope to see you all there!!
