Hello, 
I want to do a Drive thru Trunk or treat this year on October 31 at the church from 6 – 7:30 pm. I wanted to see how many would be willing to decorate a trunk, table or a space. My thought is to have the cars 6 feet apart and I would collect the candy or treats the week before and put bags together that would be handed out, by one person, at the end as they are leaving. Masks would need to be worn by those doing cars or spaces. I feel this is a safe way of doing it and still being able to reach out to our community. If you are interested in doing this, please email me (kenm14064@comcast.net, message me on Facebook, or text me (570-947-4951), as soon as possible
Thank you and God Bless,
Wendy Molitoris
