We wish everyone a safe Halloween but we need to remember that not everyone wants to be part of Halloween celebrations.

For some older people Halloween can be a frightening and scary time so here are some helpful tips so everyone can enjoy themselves and come away with fond memories:

- Make it a family affair and go trick or treating with your kids or a group from your neighbourhood.
- Call your neighbours in advance to make sure it’s okay to call in to trick-or-treat
- If you don’t want trick-or-treaters calling print or make a sign for your letterbox or window saying no thanks. (New Zealand Police have had downloadable signs)
- If you are a trick-or-treater, respect the people who have a sign asking for you to stay away
- Keep your lights on and guests outside
- Keep your eye out for your older family members, friends and neighbours this Halloween and make sure we all get to enjoy the celebration.

Remember you can help make this a great celebration for your family and community and a great opportunity to connect with your older neighbours.

If you want to go one step further Age Concern New Zealand would like to encourage all Kiwis to sign up to their Dignity Champion Campaign to show a commitment to breaking down ageism and stereotypes and encouraging dignity and respect for older people.

Become an Age Concern Dignity Champion www.ageconcern.org.nz... this Halloween and involve and celebrate the older people in your lives.

Do you love kids? Are you a star barista? Do you want a workday that is never the same? Do you want to be part of a really great team? Are you looking for work in "The Hutt"?

Laughalots Playland & Cafe in Lower Hutt is a great place where kids have fun and adults can relax knowing their kids are safe and happy. One of our team has found their "dream job" onboard ship and is leaving us on 28th October, so we need a replacement.

You'll be required to take on any role in the Playland including front reception, front cafe, serving, ride operating, party hosting, opening & closing and a whole lot more. Great barista skills are essential.

This is a part-time role (less than 35hrs per week) rostered as needed including weekends and public holidays, at $15.75 per hour.

We have a great mix of mums, uni students and college students and folks who just love kids on our team and you'll be given full training as you get to know our great Playland Family.

Drop me a PM (Personal Message) if you're interested or reply with your contact details or through our email at laughalotsplayland@gmail.com.

Cheers,

David
