Lake Superior Village / United Way - Halloween Events 
SB! and Supplemental Hours Eligible
United Way of Marquette County is hosting a halloween party for the kids at Lake Superior Community Village. We are in need of some volunteers for two aspects of the event.

1. We are hosting a shopping spree at the Halloween Superstore in Marquette for LSV families and their kids to pick out free and discounted costumes for the halloween party. Volunteers can help the kiddos navigate the store and pick out their costumes! This will happen on Oct. 8th from 5-7pm. We are looking for 3 or 4 volunteers for this evening.

2. For the party, we'll need some volunteers for set-up, hosting, and take-down at the LSV Youth and Family Center. We are looking for 4 to 6 volunteers to dress-up (if they'd like), host games, and pass out candy! This will take place on Oct.30th, set-up beginning at 3pm and the party taking place from 4-6pm.
