MULTIPLE PEOPLE

*Trick or Treat (from Dani's blog) - Swetanew
ATM: Club Trick Or Treat Registration
You visit other people's blogs to leave them a message in the comments and send them a trick or a treat. Your message can be a story, it can be simply "Happy Maraween blah blah has been sent to blah blah". You may visit other people more than once if you wish.

Some people used to do fun little stories as well as sending the trick or treat such as "As Dani approached the house she heard horrible screams and saw the lights flickering off and on. Frightened she turned to run. When she looked back she saw Stage Lights laying on the ground and put them in her bag. Stage Lights has been sent to Dani." The stories were always optional, but they were so fun to read and see how creative people could get.

You do not have to trick or treat the entire list of people, but I hope that everyone who participate does trick or treat the full list. Please keep the treats a reasonable value. Keep in mind that if you participate you may or may not get equal or greater value tricks and treats. This is meant to be a fun little club activity, and is not a guarantee that you will receive high priced items or things off your wish list.

When registration closes this page will have a full list of all participants as well as the address of their blogs to make things easier and so everyone can find who's participating at a glance.

*FROM DANI 2022:
ATM 2.0 Club Ghost Game
Prize: Ghost Costume

This is a very simple game. There will be 10 winners of a Ghost Costume. To enter simply mail me a mail with the subject line The best thing about being a ghost is and in the message finish the sentence.

An example:

The best thing about being a ghost is you never get hungry.

There will be a random drawing from all entries to determine the 10 winners of a ghost costume.

*Short Trivia Games - AVAILABLE - CAN BE DONE BY MULTIPLE PEOPLE -Halloween theme - ex/ Halloween movies, history of Halloween, candy - should be scheduled and done in club chat - Due to issues in the past, need to add the rule "You can not enter the next question if you won the question before it." This allows for more people to win. You might also think about a rule limiting the number of prizes one person can win.

* ATM Community Halloween Story (Here is Dani's from last year)

Ok so this has no prizes. It's just for fun! I will start a story, please comment in the comments to continue the story. You can add as much or as little to it as you like! If the story ends no problem, you may start a new story. When I come online after being offline anything added to the story will be added to the blog so that everyone can see it easily, but if you notice the comment before yours doesn't match the end of the blog page please continue from the previous comment. This is just for people to have fun with, and they can contribute as much and as often as they like!

Please mail me if you have any questions.

So..... THE STORY!

Every year I threw a Halloween party. This year I was excited to see that Halloween fell on a weekend, so I didn't have to worry about working the ne
