SPECIAL EVENTS
Halloween Window Painting
PLEASE NOTE: Due to an overwhelming demand for space, we are encouraging
everyone to consider painting with a partner. This will give Rye Recreation the
opportunity to accommodate all residents who are interested in participating. If demand
continues to exceed the supply of window spaces available, certain grades or categories
may have to be eliminated or a lottery maybe introduced to allocate the space that is
available.
Being application #1 or #700 only guarantees you a window spot - not
a specific location. Assignments will be done at random trying to keep family members in
close proximity to one another. Special requests can not be accommodated.
This event is sponsored by the Junior Section of the Woman's Club of Rye.
Registration Date: September 17, 9:00 a.m.
Event Date: October 18, 1998
