[NFBA-Phoenix] 🎃 Calling all monsters, witches, and ghouls: we need YOU!

[Christine Griffin]

 Something spooky is stirring at SAAVI, and we need our best monsters, witches, and ghouls (that's you!) to help pull it off.

We are getting ready for this year's SAAVI Halloween event: Two Ways to Survive the Night, happening THIS Saturday, October 10th, from 4:00 to 8:30 PM at the Phoenix center.

Here's what's brewing:
🎃 Little Monsters' Halloween Carnival (ages 6 to 12): adapted carnival games, a spider web maze, pumpkin bowling, Frankenstein's Mystery Lab, a Haunted Sound Hunt, Build-a-Monster, a Vampire's Treasure Hunt, and a Witch's Kitchen.
🦇 SAAVI After Dark: The Carnival of Lost Souls Escape Challenge (middle and high school): Braille clues, audio puzzles, and teamwork collide as teams race to solve 4 puzzles and escape with their souls intact.
🍰 Together: a Monster Feast, Halloween Family Feud (staff vs. families, anyone?), a costume parade with prizes, and a Monster Mash dance party to close out the night.

Here's where you come in:
1. Sign up to haunt with us by Wednesday, October 7th. Send me an email or text with the role or activity that calls to you (or your group) and the times you're available.
We need carnival game and activity leaders, After Dark station leaders, After Dark actors, a sound tech/DJ, a quiet room host, a first aid and safety lead, the food team, welcome table hosts, a photographer, a puzzle reset crew, and floaters.
There's a role for every comfort level, from full ghoul scares to handing out candy and prizes.

2. This event runs on community magic, so if you'd like to donate candy, prizes, or supplies just let me know what you'd like to bring. No contribution too small, every bit helps make the night more magical. A list of needed supplies is at the end of this email.

3. Mark your calendar for training. We'll cover setup, the Red Light signal, consent and touch guidelines, and how each station, game, and activity runs. Training and last-minute setup will run from 3:00 to 4:00, right before the doors open.
