MBTS Halloween Committee Thank You

To the Editor,

The Halloween Party at the Memorial School was a very busy location with families with children of all ages dropping in to start their Halloween evening. In many years of sponsoring party, we have never been as busy in the first hour with families dropping in to enjoy the party. The weather made for a great night to trick-or-treat around town.  Pizza, drinks, goodie bags, glow-in-the-dark necklaces were available for all.  The evening would not be possible without many people who worked together to plan and run the event. A huge THANK YOU from the Halloween Committee to the following:

              The MERSD for the use of the Memorial School;

Volunteers, Lillian Muise, Muffin Driscoll, Kathy Dainton, Charlotte Towle, Ellen Flatley, Karlee and Ted Blaisdell;

Crews at the Manchester Fire Department for assembling the goodie bags and delivering them to the school; and

Chief McCoy and members of the Manchester Police Department who assisted at the party and had glow -in-the-dark materials for all who attended.    

Special thanks to the family of Paul and Sophie Brown for the donation of the penny candy that went into the goodie bags and Cheryl Marshall, Park and Recreation Director, for co-sponsoring the event and for her work in planning, promoting and running the event.

An event like this makes all believe in the power of many people coming together for others in the community.  Thanks to all involved.

 The party depends on donations to keep it happening.  If you usually send in a check or make a donation at the party, we can use your financial support.  If your family enjoyed the party, please consider sending in a donation.  You can drop of the donation at the Park and Rec Office in Town Hall or send a check to Manchester Halloween Committee, P.O Box 1422, Manchester, MA 01944 to keep the tradition alive. 

Thanks again,

Tom Kehoe, for the Halloween Committee
