We started the week out with no money to do this party. By Friday, Chi Alpha Alumni had given $400 towards our Halloween party and other events for the semester. Wow! We have terrific alumni.
We stared our party at 7:00 and it looked like it would be just our students. Then in walked about 6 guys from the dorm we were holding the party in and they stayed with us all evening. They carved pumpkins, played games and ate our food. : ) They even helped clean up! We made some good contacts with these guys and we will see them again on campus for other events.
Gene made his famous Haunted Chocolate Cupcake Mansion and we had a local garden center give us our carving pumpkins for a discount. Patrick (my son) and I cleaned out 20 pumpkins Saturday morning before the party. My hands are still hurting from digging out all the insides. But it was worth it. Thank you for praying for us.Our next event is Thanksgiving at our house. We open our home to students who can't go home over the weekend. It is always a relaxing time with lots of food, a walk around Horn Pond and games.
