nomacmac.livejournal.comKids from the Benjamin G. Brown School "Roots & Shoots" club will be in Davis Square on Monday, October 27th from approx 3:00-4:00 Trick-or-Treating for UNICEF. Find a kid with an orange UNICEF box, and give them some money! Kids from the school may also bring UNICEF boxes while trick-or-treating on Halloween night, so have some change waiting by your candy bowl if you want to donate.
While I'm on the topic of trick-or-treating, please allow me to preach a little PSA on behalf of the estimated 7-12% of American children with food allergies. The choice between a snickers bar and a peanut butter cup seems awesome to someone without allergies. Not such a great choice for kids allergic to nuts, dairy or eggs. Buy whatever candy you want as leftovers, but please consider also buying a bag of something allergy friendly. The fruit flavored things are more likely to be safe (skittles, starburst, lollipops, mike & ikes, dots, twizzlers, swedish fish, fruit snacks, laffy taffy, nerds, smarties, jolly ranchers) The dentists of Somerville will thank you, and you will make some kids happy.
