Page 8 Public Hearing on volume water rates Mon. Oct. 31- 2pm The Town of Quartzsite is planning a public hearing for October 31 at 2:00 pm to discuss going to a volume base rate for eligible commercial properties, churches and RV Parks. Currently, these businesses are on a fixture rate. Volumetric rates are more friendly to seasonal business than fixture rates. For more information contact Town Hall at 928-927-4333 or visit www. ci.quartzsite.az.us HAM RADIO Amateur Radio Bible Study 147.360 MHZ STARTS NOV. 1ST 8:00 AM Every Day Except Sunday Open to all HAMS and Scanners www.DesertMessenger.com New 4-H takes on hungry There's a new 4-H Club in Quartzsite called "Denim and Dust Club". One of their first projects is "Trick or Treat so Others Can Eat". They recognized our local food bank could really use some help, so the parents and children have organized a food drive. Boxes will be set out all over town from now until Oct. 27th. Canned food and non-per- ishable food items are needed. The club is also looking for volunteers to help teach a variety of subjects. Con- tact Monica Timberlake at 928-916- 4120 for more information.

The children who are in school must have a permission slip filled out to get dropped off at Town Hall, and another permission slip to be able to board the bus at Town Hall (no excep- tions). Permission slips are available at the Children's Library, Quartzsite Community Thrift Store, and at Town Hall. There is also a permission slip you can cut out on Page 23 in this is- sue of the Desert Messenger. The caravan will leave promptly at 2 p.m. from Town Hall, so be sure to get there early and have your permission slips ready to show as soon as you can get there. Children can put their cos- tumes on at Town Hall if necessary, if they get there early enough. Any- one wishing to set up a table to give October 19, 2011 Halloween Caravan Oct. 28th for kids of Quartzsite out candy to the kids can do so at JRs RV Park--just call Anita Carlson and she will reserve a table for you--you must be there before 2 p.m. The buses will then take the kids all around the town to RV parks who have recreation halls, and to some businesses also who wanted to be included. The buses will return to Town Hall for the haunted house at the library. This caravan has been going on for 20 years, and is a wonderful way for the kids to visit the people who wish to give out candy and be as safe as pos- sible. Escorted by the Police and Fire Departments and other chaperones, it is the best way to get the kids their candy without having them running around the RV parks and streets. Judg- ing by the number of people who set up tables, and the places on the route who have people waiting to see the kids, this popular event has so many who want to get involved every year that it is hard to fit them all in!! For more information about the caravan, please call Anita at 927-4292.
