[OMS_MANAGERS] Halloween Events

[HARVEY W SCHUBOTHE]

We did both last year and will do at least trunk and treat this year. As said, if merchants up for it, Old Town is still safer than neighborhood door to door.

I was ready to cancel, but one of the moms on our Promotions Committee said she would bring her kids Downtown to trick-or-treat where she can see that everyone is wearing masks and using gloves and tongs to hand out treats.  The alternative of sending her kids up to people's doors and not knowing if the person opening the door will be taking safety precautions was scary to her. We are going to survey business in August to gauge their thoughts and won't make a final decision until mid September. We also thought we could add trunk-or-treat to spread people out even more.

Also, a lot of this idea was conceived after I stumbled across this website:   https://www.halloweenfunpack.com/faq<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.halloweenfunpack.com%2Ffaq&data=02%7C01%7C%7C537548bd3e7c4e1d554d08d82f3ab1c3%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637311276417301390&sdata=n3fBMAn8i8P2GoqPyRkhsHBb7h0Q2u4yZm3RKVStcHY%3D&reserved=0>
Most of my wording in the pitch for our board comes straight from it.

Good afternoon,

I'm bringing up this idea for a Halloween alternative to my board at our board meeting tomorrow, and it's not really an idea for fundraising, but could probably be altered to fit the need.  I attached my little mock-up for it that I just started working on, it's not very developed yet and I don't know if we'll do it, but it might help.

Best,

Hi Steve,

We have a very big event at Halloween and have been brainstorming all kinds of ideas... nothing doable yet. Let me know if you hit on something and I'll do the same. Good luck!

Hello-
For any of you that have Halloween events in regular years, have you come up with any ways to modify them in the COVID world? We usually have one of our biggest fundraisers then, but are trying to figure out if/how it can happen this year? or have you already canceled?

Thanks for the input.

President
