Big Brothers Big Sisters Annual Halloween Spookout, held at the La Cueva High School Cafeteria, is an event put on in collaboration with the La Cueva Key Club and serves over 350 children in the program. This is a free carnival for the children in our program and their families- with activities from face painting to cake walks to a "Fun House" and spooky story time. We are in need of volunteers to help us unload our trucks filled with party decorations of all shapes and sizes that have donated to us by a party display house. A few staff members from our agency will be assisting and many hands make light work so it's feasible this could be completed in less than the projected time frame.

The Club could use a Fall cleaning and spruce up due to lots of wear and tear during the Summer and throughout the year. Landscaping, painting, clean up and also the potential of building an interior room to separate program areas. We also have the potential of having a company or organization to take a special project on by adopting a room such as the Teen room, Art room, Kitchen area or Technology room by giving it some upgrades.

General clean up of El Oso Grande Park, with main concentration on playground area. Clean-up, sweep the sidewalks, weed around the picnic tables and weed along the sidewalks.
