It’s 3 months away, but Christmas is right around the corner. We will be collecting for “Saint Jude’s Children”. Please open up your heart to children in need. Doesn’t have to be expensive, Dollar store has cheap gifts. Card games, coloring books, crayons and small board games, bubble bath, hair ties etc….. It will mean a lot to children who would be getting nothing without your help. Last year you helped a family that has two children with cancer. We will adopt another family this year, I will have more details as December approaches. It’s that time of year again for “Trick or Treaters”.

If you would like to bring your grandchildren into the Community to trick or treat so they have a safe place to go, please feel free to

do so. Residents that do not wish to give out candy, just leave your porch light off. We hope to see more grandchildren in here this year. There were a few of you last year that brought in your grandkids, would love to see more in here this year. I will have candy at the office for them. Bring them by and let them receive a goody.

HALLOWEEN Evolving from the

ancient Celtic holiday of Samhain, modern Halloween has become less about literal ghosts and ghouls and more about costumes and candy. The Celts used the day to mark the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter, and also believed that this transition between the seasons was a bridge to the world of the dead. Over the years the holiday moved from a somber pagan ritual to a day of merriment, costumes, parades and sweet treats for children and adults.
