Trick-or-treat for UNICEF.

You deserve to wear the (completely unofficial!) “Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF” merit badge if you hauled that orange collection box around as a kid. Or if yours is the house that always has a bowl of change ready for the kids with the boxes. Or if you do what you can to support UNICEF now by making a donation and/or spreading the word.

As I may have mentioned once or twice this month, there’s a little thing called BookOrTreat going on through Halloween to support UNICEF. Okay, okay—I’ve mentioned the pants off of it.

BUT! I wanted to let you know about a few specific events coming up that are in addition to all the usual goings-on:

• This Saturday night, BookOrTreat and T.H. Mafi are co-hosting a Halloween movie party on Twitter! You don’t even need a Twitter account to come to the party. I’ll be there in a costume primarily made from tinfoil, and I hope you’ll be there too (foil costume optional).
• Mia is helping to get the word out about BookOrTreat by having a Halloweeny Blogfest on Tuesday, October 26th. Sign up—you might win a prize!
• The Rejectionist has pledged to reveal her Halloween costume if you make a donation to UNICEF through BookOrTreat and let me know about it!!! PEOPLE. This is a rare opportunity. WE NEED TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. I’ve even set up a special email address good through the end of the month so you can make your donation report: LeRcostume [at] bookortreat [dot] com
• Speaking of costumes… I’m planning on doing something special and more than a little weird for you next week. So stay tuned.
