Our Halloween Dance was a huge success. Thanks to all those who organized and ran the event. By all reports it was the largest in many years with over 270 tickets sold!!!!!

There were some funny costumes and some scary ones as well. Even the famed Charlie Brown and his Peanuts crew showed for the dance.

I look forward to seeing another great turnout at the Staffulty vs. Staffulty volleyball game on November 14.
