7:00pm to 9:00pm - Community Center Reservations

ANNOUNCEMENTS
**Book Club**
Due to the lack of readers that showed up last Monday, I've decided to move the teen book club to the online Goodreads group - Selby Bay Readers. This way the book club can be accessible to anyone at anytime. To find the group, make a Goodreads account and go to "groups" and search Selby Bay Readers. Look under my ("Tracie") folder to find the teen reads. I will try to post every Monday. Our first book is The Boundless by Kenneth Oppel and there are plenty of copies at the public library.

Goodreads is also trying out Challenges! Our first group challenge begins 1 November and lasts throughout the month. Don't forget to sign up for the challenge!

If you would like to be a moderator on our Selby Goodreads group, then please email SelbyBay@gmail.com and we'll make you a folder to start your own book club!

**Thank You!**
Thank you to everyone who helped make Boo-At-The-Beach a success! Most notably - Kim Bareuther, Linda Bouchard, Mike Bouchard, Marc Galiber and Rachel Kunkel. A big thanks to everyone who donated munchies for the evening and to those who tipped our teens in the back with the kiddos. It was a great get-together.

**Halloween**
Halloween is Saturday. Please remember to turn on your porch light if you're giving out candy and turn it off if you are not participating.

PLEASE SLOW DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!

I can not stress this enough!! Children can be very unpredictable especially when they are not use to being outside at night and there are scary sounds and sights everywhere.

**Hayride and Bonfire**
We will be doing our annual hayride and bonfire. Hayrides will begin around 8:00pm in the beach parking lot.

**LOCK UP**
It's Halloween and it's a Saturday. Make sure your car, shed, garage...are locked up. A little prevention goes a long way!

**Selby-For-The-Hungry**
Our annual food drive is in full swing. You can donate non-perishable food items at any Selby event or club gathering. You can also put donations in the plastic bin outside the bathrooms by the book rack. We are also collecting pet food. They go hungry too! The SPCA is looking for kitten food, wet and dry cat and dog food (Purina Pro Plan, Purina ONE,Science Diet, IAMS, Friskies), small animal food, and treats for dogs and cats. Last year we collected 23.5 lbs! Let's beat that this year!

**2-Hour Early Dismissal**
AACPS has a 2-hour early dismissal on Friday, 30 October.

That's about it for this week! Have a great week and see ya trick-or-treating on Saturday!!
