It's October, so naturally, the Committee plans to host a Halloween party, to be held on Monday, October 31, 2022, from 7pm - 11pm. In your group (or individually) you will brainstorm ideas, prepare the budget, analyze the revenues and profits, and create an advertisement for the event. ]]> 2022-10-14 14:10:34 UTC https://padlet.com/dpounds/46f2ykk6oryv6m68/wish/2340525692 dpounds https://padlet.com/dpounds/46f2ykk6oryv6m68/wish/2340535200 Try one of the activities from this article, to generate your thoughts.
