***Halloween Funfest! 10/28/05
We need approx. 20 volunteers to help us put on a Haunted 
House as a part of our annual Halloween Funfest. This event 
will be held at Lincoln Square Village on Friday, Oct. 28th 
from 5:30 till 8 pm. We need volunteers to be Guides through 
the Haunted House. These folks will help lead people through 
the Haunted House, one volunteer at the head of the group, 
and one at the end (tail) of the group. 

Then we also need volunteers to be Characters within the 
Haunted House. These folks need to dress in costume and 
scare the people going through the house. (but not too 
badly, we try to gear the house to younger kids, so it's not 
so terrifying). 

There will be an orientation for volunteers helping with the 
Haunted House on Thursday, Oct. 27th (the day before the 
event) at Lincoln Square at both 6:30 and 7 pm. The meeting 
will take no more than an hour, and will be held twice. So 
if folks want to come to one or the other, they can. 

Email Betsy if you are interested and to arrange rides to 
both the orientation and actual Halloween Funfest this 
Friday at brodri2 at uiuc.edu

***CU Special Recreation Ghoulish Overnight from 7-11pm this 
Friday Oct. 28th.  Food, games, dressing up...what's not to 
like??!!  Email Brittany if interested at bkwhite2 at uiuc.edu

***YMCA Afterhours this Saturday from 7-10pm, playing 
basketball, hanging out and eating free pizza with junior 
high kids!  Email Kristina at kfranke at uiuc.edu

***Aquachiefs Swim Meet: The task is simple — timing 
swimmers.  The rewards are small — smiles from young 
swimmers.  We could use 4 to 8 volunteers on the mornings of 
November 5 & 6 (7:30 AM to 12:30 PM) to help us time the 
swimmers.  Timing is a critical step in our running the 
meet.  The meet is a fundraiser for our swim team, the 
Aquachiefs (www.Aquachiefs.org).  In addition, we dedicate 
this meet to the memory of Erin Block, who swam with the 
Aquachiefs for about 8 years.  Erin recently lost her battle 
to cancer.  In Erin’s memory, the Aquachiefs will donate $1 
of every meet admission to a local pediatric cancer charity.
-If you are interested in helping with this than email me at

Thanks in advance and have a great Halloween weekend if I 
don't see you at one of the events!
