Make a Difference Day Service Project

   

 This year, our October 24th Make A Difference Day service project was to assist the Laura Foundation with their fundraising project, Halloween Town.  Halloween Town is located near King Pine Ski Area at Camp Tohkumeupog for Boys in East Madison.  Halloween Town provided a fun Trick or Treat Trail for children and families as children could walk from one camp cabin (each specially decorated) to another. WMUR even had a story about the event.  A large tent providing games and rides was also available to children.  A team of us from Altrusa staffed the drink booth and we busily poured coffee, hot cocoa and hot cider for families.  Of course, we dressed in costume and enjoyed seeing the variety of costumes on the children and adults, especially the little ones... so cute!  All money earned at Halloween Town went to the Laura Foundation which seeks to provide funding to develop and support therapeutic recreation and educational programs that enrich the lives of individuals with autism and/or seizure disorders.
