Halloween Party and Christmas Dinner

Friends, see an email I received from Rita Higgins in Bridgeview... 

Hi Fabio!

Our 1st Annual Pig Roast was a great success!  The community sure came through, for The Bridgeview Community Outreach Program inc.! 

We'd like to invite the community to two of our upcoming events:  our Halloween Party on October 25th and our Christmas Dinner on December 6th. 

Both events need to have kids registered early, in order to have a chance to win prizes, get candy, and presents. 

It's much appreciated if you could post these up!

THANK YOU!  

For details on the Christmas Dinner, get in touch with Rita at westendcrawlers@gmail.com
