A Haunted Halloween party for the Little Missionary's Day Nursery

There aren't any shortages of Halloween-related activities in the neighborhood.

Here's another to consider... the Little Missionary's Day Nursery (above!) on St. Mark's Place between Avenue A and First Avenue is hosting a Haunted Halloween party on Saturday that will also serve as a fundraiser for the school... 

Neighborhood kids and their parents/guardians are invited to participate Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at La Plaza Cultural on the SW corner of Avenue C and Ninth Street. They'll be some seasonal food and games.

'Beautiful Nightmares' and good Mexican food today at La Lucha on Avenue A

Via the EVG inbox from the folks at Little Missionary's Day Nursery, 93 St. Mark's Place …

We're pleased to announce a special art show and fundraiser today at Mexican taqueria La Lucha, 147 Avenue A between East Ninth Street and East 10th Street.

The exhibit, "Beautiful Nightmares," showcases a unique and charming display of paintings and drawings from our school's 2- to 4-year-old artists portraying their innermost thoughts, fears and nightmares. The art will be available for purchase, with proceeds to benefit our ongoing efforts to grow its school to serve more working class East Village families.

La Lucha will donate 100% of its receipts to benefit our school.
