Volunteer Needs: Volunteer assistance is needed with planning Color Day and/or working at the actual event scheduled for early June (a school day).

Wild costumes, spooky haunted houses and ghoulishly gruesome games are just some of the highlights from this Halloween-inspired, family-centered evening.
