Great News: With the help of 32 volunteers, 202 children enjoyed the party this year (about 30 more than the prior year). We received 1,067 food items (1,230.24 lb.) and $1,688.24 in funds. Between food and funds it equates to an additional 3,787.44 meals.
Bad News: Some of the animatronics in the haunted house were abused and damaged. We were able to locate the pieces of most of them and repair them inexpensively. One exception was The Gruesome Ghoul ($179.99). A full repair will require purchasing a motor mechanism, possibly replacing the head, and the ghoul’s right arm (which is still missing). But If your child brought home a hand connected to a couple of metal rods, please return it to the pantry.
