Purchase your pre-sale tickets after school today and avoid the lines tonight!  Then bring your ghouls, ghosts and goblins out tonight, Friday, October 25th from 5.30-9.00pm. For the spookiest spook around, join us if you dare in the Haunted House (5:30-7:00 for the "happy" house, and 7:00-9:00 for the scary haunted house). The lower field will be bubbling with activities including a hair and nail booth, rides galore and no tricks, just treats bake sale, popcorn, cotton candy and delicious food plates from Hennessey's ($8). Remember - bring LOTS OF CA$H (all food sales are cash only). Parents and kids under 3 are FREE!! Entry is $15 & includes ALL rides & the Haunted House.

 

If you are not already volunteering, it's not too late to help out, especially in the areas of pulling down the haunted house & final clean up.

Breaking Up Is Easy To Do!
         

If you'd rather not make one big donation to MBEF, break it up. You can set up almost any kind of installment. Once a month. Once every two months. And so on, just so long as you complete your gift by June. Frankly, we'd rather you give a bigger gift, in smaller pieces, than a smaller gift all at once. The more you give, the more we can do for your child. At every school. At every grade level. Give your child an edge. Give to MBEF.
