Ideas for fundraisers at Autism Society of Southeastern Wisconsin

 Ok, I know it's not for a while yet, but I just thought of an idea for maybe something we could do as a fundraiser around Halloween at the Autism Society of Southeastern Wisconsin. When I go into the building, I see offices, and if you walk down far enough, I see some other area at the end of the hall. When I go to the group meetings, there's a back door that leads back into the building where the Autism Society of Southeastern Wisconsin is located. Maybe what we could do is have a safe Trick Or Treat night for kids on the spectrum, there. They could go into the building, and enter some of the rooms, where someone can hand out candy in every room. Or they can knock on the office doors, and people can hand out candy from their offices, as well. 
Now, as for the room where adults on the spectrum now meet, maybe they could go from the building into our room from that door, and maybe we could have in there, a Jack O' Lantern Jaunt, kinda like what they have at the Field Park in Mukwonago. 

When Mukwonago has it's Jack O'Lantern Jaunt every year, a lot of the places that attract a lot of people will carve pumpkins to be put on display at the jaunt, from the Dental places, churches, the elementary schools, middle school, high school, the animal clinics in town, and maybe some of the banks in Mukwonago, as well as other businesses in Mukwonago.

 Now if we were to do a Jack O'Lantern Jaunt at the autism society what we could do is have people go into the room where the adults usually meet, to look at Jack O' Lanterns carved, and pumpkins decorated on display. And each table could have pumpkins carved, and some of these things that are carved into the pumpkins could go with certain themes, and we could also maybe also have people, like maybe some of the adults on the spectrum, standing next to the tables, where they can also hand out candy to kids. As for themes, we can have a table with pumpkins made to look like Sesame Street characters. And if we can't carve the pumpkins, we can maybe paint the character's faces on there, or maybe we could just carve their eyes, nose, and mouth on there (if they have a nose), especially Julia from Sesame Street, since her character has autism. And I do have a pink wig for it, although her hair is more red or orange than it is pink. And we could have some of the other pumpkins made to either look like Snuffy or Big Bird, or Cookie Monster, Bert and Ernie, Elmo, if we can't carve their faces on there. And maybe we could have a table with Disney characters carved on some of them, both old school and new school. And then maybe we could have a table with different symbols for certain sports carved into pumpkins like, for swimming, biking, baseball, football, running. And maybe even an autism awareness/acceptance themed table where we have Jack o'Lanterns with puzzle pieces carved into them, and maybe some can have hearts carved into them. And like the Jack O'lantern Jaunt in Mukwonago, people could pay a dollar or 2 just to go look at the display. Maybe some of us adults on the spectrum can be the ones to hand out the candy, as well as carve pumpkins in advance, maybe help decorate the room with other Halloween decorations. Maybe hang some orange, lime green, and purple lights across the ceiling, or something like that. Maybe we could even have a table with pumpkins carved and other decorations on that table made to represent certain Halloween movies like, Nightmare Before Christmas, or Hocus Pocus, or something like that. In the last decade, I had taken pictures almost every year I had gone to this Jack O'Lantern Jaunt in Mukwonago, and 5 years ago, I ended up making it all into these slideshows where some of these Jack O'Lanterns represented some kind of theme. What I'm thinking of doing is burning them to a DVD and giving it to the autism society of Southeastern Wisconsin, for people to view as some kind of possible inspiration. Call it a Non-Spooky Halloween event at the Autism Society for kids and families on the spectrum.
