Greetings Everyone!

The first planning meeting for Samhain was a success and the major details are pretty much put together. Rusty and I still need help getting this celebration off and running. There will be three main parts to the celebration, a dumb supper, alter for the departed and journey through the underworld.

We are having another planning and decorating meeting 26 September at 10:30 AM. We will be painting some decorations and creating the entrance to the underworld – wear something that you won’t mind if it gets a little messy. During this meeting we will fill the remaining roles for the underworld and plan the rest of the evening’s activities.

Dumb Supper - Storm is organizing: This will be a silent feast honoring the departed and inviting them to our celebration. The meal will be a pot luck featuring traditional last harvest foods. A place setting will be set up among us for the departed so they may join in the celebration. In their honor there will be no talking or music during the feast.

Altar - Sal organizing: This will be a simple altar where people can place objects, candles and altar items to honor and remember the departed.

Underworld - needs organizer: This will be the main activity of the night. Several people have stepped forward to fill the rolls needed to make this happen. *** We still need a lot of help! *** We need a person to fill some rolls during this part. There is still a lot of preparation to do for this to work. This is what we need so far:

• 50 Black paper plates
