LHS Key Club members Brittney Travis, Kathy Dobbs and Sierra Wheeler will join thousands of other high school Key Club members on Halloween as they Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF. When the Lampasas High School Key Club hits the streets on Halloween night this year, they won't be asking for candy, but for cash donations for UNICEF.

Trick-or-treat for UNICEF is a kids-helping-kids fund-raiser around the world that was started 59 years ago.

LHS Key Club adviser Beth Franklin said this year students are going all out for Halloween. "We are attempting to beat our record of the past two years when all we did was collect money at school or through the local Kiwanis Club."

Students are working with Wal- Mart at a planned haunted house on Friday and with Vision Lampasas! at the Squared Silly event Saturday on Courtyard Square.

"If you see a high school student in costume carrying a readily identifiable orange collection box, that would be a Key Clubber."

This year, the UNICEF campaign is supporting Operation Uruguay: Protecting the Rights of Children, which works to ensure the rights to education, health and basic services.

In Uruguay, more than half a million children and adolescents are living in poverty. Funds raised through Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF will support children's programs in that country.

Only authorized Key Club members who have signed up will have orange collection boxes.

Donations may be made by phoning 564-2301.
