NOTE on getting to the Senior Center: The driveway on the East side of the building is an EXIT ONLY; if you are coming from the freeway, pass the first driveway and turn in at the second. Also, if you are going West on N. 85th St. you have to turn across traffic to get into the driveway. One option is to turn left the block before you get tot the center and go around the block so you can approach from the West. There is parking all the way around the building -the entrance is on the NW corner of the building - you pass it on your left when you turn into the parking lot. OTHER STUFF This event will appeal mostly to younger kids - thinking 10 or 12 and under. All ages welcome. VOLUNTEERS Please let us know if you can come at 12:00 to help clean, decorate, set up etc or stay for 30 minutes afterwards to help clean-up. Also, would love some older kids to volunteer to help at the activity tables/stations. This is a great way for middle or high school kids to earn some community service hours. The good news it that the space will have a good cleaning the morning of the event and while there is a kitchen/dining area next to the room well be using, we can easily block off access. Of course, it is every families responsibility to manage the whereabouts of your child at all times -there are other parts of the building that can be accessed so we will all need to make sure kids stay in the activity area and are escorted to and from the bathrooms. If you have any questions or concerns contact [email protected]. And if you are planning to go out collecting candy, the Greenwood/Phinney businesses are having Hunger Goblins (food bank donations encouraged) trick or treat event on the same date from 12-3 PM. If you do indulge, please do not bring it with you to the event and read those labels - stay safe! Hunger Goblin event info: phinneycenter.org/hungergoblin/index.html
