Trick or Treat Street
Members were asked to distribute candy to cars while in their Halloween costumes. This event was held so that young children could still experience the joy of receiving candy from strangers on Halloween. Many local businesses also set up booths along the route in order to both advertise their services and to celebrate Halloween with the young kids. Submitted by MaeLing Hayes |

Pumpkin Paint Pick-Up
With the collaboration of the American Canyon Arts Foundation and the Kiwanis of American Canyon, parents and guardians were able to drive through a local parking lot and pick up pumpkins for their children. Key Clubbers were able to assist in head counting the cars, and distributing the correct amount of pumpkins to each family. People given pumpkins were able to either keep their pumpkins or drop off their finished pumpkin at the Wetlands’ Edge for a city-wide Pumpkin Path. Submitted by Giselle Hinahon |

Make A Joke Book
Members created a joke book to cheer up students and make them laugh. Each person created a page or multiple pages with jokes and drawings depending on how fast they finished. Members then compiled all the pages into a virtual joke book so they could be sent out to local elementary schools. Submitted by Alli McCabe |

Supervisor Monica Brown and Mayor Steve Young of Benicia also came to welcome the volunteers. A demonstration of tree planting from the Benicia City Parks staff was given before the event began.
