INTRODUCTION
If you've never helped out at one of these haunted house things its
really a blast, but bring throat lozenges if you like to moan or shout
boo. A Halloween Fair at George's Is is our project with the actives
for this term. It sounds like a lot of fun. Also, if you have any
left after the vampires, blood night is coming right up.
Still looking for someone to call Timothy Allen, Hudson, NH
