BT's 9th annual Halloween Bash!

I don't know if anyone else noticed -- but the Halloween candy and costumes were out early this year!  Summer wasn't even over and I saw a whole aisle dedicated to the October holiday in a local store.  Now, it has really kicked in and I can hear people buzzing in the hall ways here at Ontario ARC about their plans for the upcoming holiday -- especially from one person in particular.

Every year, Bob Taddario -- known in these parts as just "BT" -- hosts his annual Halloween Bash at The Sons of Italy in Geneva.  BT is a substitute enclave supervisor and works closely with participants, helping them achieve their professional goals while on the job.  For his annual Halloween celebration, he books great rock bands, tarrot card readers, and fun "tribute" guests, such as Flavor Flav, Elvira, and Linda Blair from The Exorcist.

What makes his Halloween Bash so special?  He donates back one dollar for each ticket sold to Ontario ARC -- and the proceeds go towards support our wide variety of programs and services.  Not only does he work for Ontario ARC, but BT is also an avid supporter of the agency.  He strongly believes in our mission and vision and it is reflected in his work with participants and in his philanthropy.

Tickets to the Halloween Bash are $5/person and $10/couple presale and $7/person and $12/couple at the door.  To purchase tickets, contact BT at 315-694-2416 or The Sons of Italy at 315-781-2242.
