Join the PTSA Costume Carnival Boo-Thru Food-Fund Drive on Friday, Oct. 30, 6-8pm We couldn’t let Halloween pass without celebrating, so join us in the Newcastle Elementary bus loop for a stay-in-your-car, socially distanced celebration! Wear your costumes, decorate your car and come for surprises and prizes. We’re also continuing the Spooky Spaghetti tradition with a Food Fund Drive. Last year we served over 1000 spaghetti dinners and this year we want to provide 1000+ meals to families in need in our community. Help us raise $6,250 by donating directly to the Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank between Oct. 20th and Oct. 30th. We Need YOU to Help Make the Boo-Thru Great! Volunteer to help before, during or after the event. Do you have blow-up Halloween decorations? Loan them to us! Contact Peter O’Donoghue at 425-691-7910 or peteinseattle@yahoo.com for more info.
