Trick or Treat for UNICEF

[nomacmac.livejournal.com]

Kids from the Benjamin G. Brown School "Roots & Shoots" club will be in Davis Square on Monday, October 26th from approx 3:15-4:15 Trick-or-Treating for UNICEF.  Find a kid with an orange UNICEF box and give them some change if you have any to spare.  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.

Since it's almost Halloween, please allow me to re-post last year's PSA on behalf of the estimated 7-12% of American children with food allergies who will be trick or treating on Saturday.  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. 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)  Little toys and other junk are great too.   If you really want to be allergy-friendly, check out the Teal Pumpkin Project http://www.foodallergy.org/teal-pumpkin-project.  Thanks!

trick or treating hours?

While on the subject.... Parents, what hours do you expect trick-or-treating to happen this year, whatwith the holiday being on a Saturday? My roommates and I had almost no trick-or-treaters last year which made us very sad (though our candy bowl was very happy), and we want to make sure we're home during the correct part of the day this year.

Cheers,
