Support the Sunnyvale Halloween Carnival Thursday October 30 5:30pm

Hope to see you at the carnival Thursday October 30th at 5:30 PM. Please RSVP Margareta.Hjorth-Vlasic@mhtn.com  So far, we have about 8 members from Millcreek Rotary Club, but we always welcome more.

The address is:   Valley Center Park, 4013 south 700 west (right by the Sunnyvale apartment complex).

A few members of the Salt Lake Rotaract Club will be there before 5:30 to set up the carnival games, tables and chairs. We do not have to be there earlier than 5:30 PM.

We have been asked to bring candy and/or small toys to hand out from our decorated car trunks, and if we would like also some extra for the carnival games. Please also dress up for Halloween to make it more fun for the kids.

Last time we participated we had all the kids playing the carnival games first. We then rounded everyone up and the kids did the trunk or treat all at once, and then returned to the games. This worked well and I think we will do the same this year.

Looking forward to seeing you Thursday!
