Halloween week was such fun this past October starting with the Costume Party – despite some “white trash” neighbors crashing the wedding of Mr. & Mrs. Ghoulapasso, there was much “Monster Mashing” at the reception.  Guests on the “A” list of celebs included health guru, Richard Simmons, Sonny & Cher, Keanu Reeves, Ellen DeGeneres, Anne Heche, Martha Stewart, Batman and Frankenstein!  Thanks Jean and Paige for hosting!  Thanks to the Executive Board for a great job on the Halloween Parade and Pizza Party and to Noreen and the Village Recreation Department for another great Haunted Firehouse – the costumes and the children in the community were fantastic!

Special thanks to Julie Perillo, Programs Chairperson for coordinating a relaxing meeting in October – the free massages were great!  Jo Ellen thanks all club members who donated to Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF!
