Trick or Suite
by Kim Jancewicz
Due to our Trick or Suite volunteers
hard work, creativity & preparations, Trick or Suite was a huge
success!
Liz Smith took care of getting us a suite on the 1st floor. Nancy, Liz's
friend, brought in her dirt bike and the kids had fun getting on and off
it. It was nice to see the looks on the kids faces and the smiles they
shot back from under their costumes.
All furniture was moved aside as enthusiast members set the scene for
Camelot. A big "thank you" to Linda Krecker-Schkred and Barbara
Dove for bringing in great stuff to decorate with and for clothes to wear.
Two people poured me into one of Barbara's stretch velour gowns as I took
off my medieval princess costume to lend to Lauri Travis.
Patty G. made great banners. Linda Sackerman was taking pictures.
Everyone pitched in and pulled resources together. We had one of the best
decorated rooms at Embassy Suites! Way to go Spokes-Women!
A big "thank you" to all Members and Associate Members who spent
time and money getting a costume for our theme and for participating in
the event! We had a good time while giving some special kids a nice
Halloween night out. It's nice of Embassy Suites to organize this
barrier-free environment for handicapped children to trick or treat in.
Spokes-Women MC was presented with a Certificate of Appreciation at the little buffet held afterwards. I'll bring the Certificate, and the one for 1999, to our November meeting.
Take care and be safe.
Note: Trick or Suite is an annual event hosted by Embassy Suites to allow handicapped children to have a safe and Happy Halloween.
