Last updated 6 months ago

Happy Halloween to all our members and families.

If you're trick-or-treating post Storm Sandy, we've got a few Halloween Safety tips to share with you from the great folks over at the Center of Disease Control.

Here are a few tips we found that you should take note of:

Remember to look both ways before crossing the street and use your crosswalks when possible.
Don't forget your flashlight while trick-or-treating to help you see and others see you.
Remember to walk and don't run from house to house.
Do your best not to trip, fall, and have blocked vision by wearing well-fitting masks, costumes, and shoes.
Avoid trick-or-treating alone.
Walk in groups or with a trusted adult.
Limit the amount of treats you eat....don't overdo it.
Only enter homes if you're accompanied by a parent/adult.
Only visit well-lit houses.
Avoid eating homemade snacks and treats and/or candy that looks like it's been tampered with.
Check your child's candy bag before they eat from it - to ensure safety.
