Trick or Treat for UNICEF
Children of Fiioi Congregation Church will be carrying UNICEF donational boxes along with their "Trick or Treat" bags on October 31st. They will be coming to your door asking you not only for candy but for donations to help UNICEF immunize all the world's child¬ ren in the next five years.
Fifteen million children die and as many more are disabled by the effects of six childhood diseases which are easily pre- yentable through immunization. Recent technological break throughs have dras¬ tically increased the ease with which vac¬ cinations may be carried to remote areas. It is now possible to immunize all the world's children.
Church School children at First Congregational are asking your help to make this dream a possibility. Look for the UNICEF boxes and make a generous gift. The children of the world are looking to you and to our church school children to make that miracle happen.
