Edward J. Allard and Noreen J. Kelly present THE FACES OF POVERTY IX HALLOWEEN FUNDRAISER

Berwyn Ed's Halloween Party is BACK! After a long hiatus since 2019, the stars have aligned — the Halloween party returns, this time in their Wheaton home (room for ~100 people!). Over the years, this gathering has been a magical mix of Meetup friends, family, and neighbors — and they’re excited to make it happen again.

Some of you may remember the great Halloween fundraising parties that Ed used to have when he lived in Berwyn. Well now he is married and living in Wheaton, so he is resuming this fun tradition of Halloween, music, dancing & fundraising! Come join us!!!!
