Join us for a Fa-Boo-lous time at the Autism Society Inland Empire Halloween Spooktacular Trunk-or-Treat for the Autism and intellectual/developmental disability community. The free family-friendly event offers individuals an opportunity to celebrate Halloween in a safe and supportive environment. The Trunk-or-Treat will feature carnival games, a corn maze and inflatables, trick-or-treat stations, community resources, and more. This is a fun, safe alternative to nighttime trick or treating, particularly for those with sensory issues, and a great activity for children to practice and improve their language and social skills.

The RPG is changing its name to The Virtual Tabletop Gaming Group. We have decided to change our name since we play a wide variety of virtual tabletop games like Chess, Uno, Monopoly and Clue as well as role play games like Dungeons and Dragons. Our new schedule: We’ll meet on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of the month at 7:00 pm (6:45 if you are new or need technical help). You will need a (free) Steam account and within Steam you need to purchase Tabletop Simulator for $19.99 (this is a one-time only purchase.)

This event is at capacity. Registration is now closed.
