A Halloween creative writing workshop for children aged 8-11. Have you ever thought about what it takes to make up a monster? There’s a lot more to it than glowing eyes or sharp teeth. In this Halloween workshop, young writers will have the chance to use their imaginations to create their own monster… or alien, ghost, witch, or some other creepy character. In this creative writing workshop especially for children, attendees can enjoy exploring the dark side of their imaginations in a safe and productive way, while exploring the different elements writers use to make an otherworldly character seem real. Please bring a pen or pencil, plus some paper to write and draw on. Some crayons and color pencils will be provided. You can also bring your own drawing tools.

What: Join hundreds of firefighters, public safety officers, military personnel, and civilians in the region's only memorial stair-climb event. In tribute to the 403 fallen 9/11 heroes—343 FDNY, 23 NYPD, and 37 Port Authority—participants climb 110 flights of stairs, the same number as in the Twin Towers, each bearing the name of an Emergency Responder lost on that day. Set against the stunning waterfront backdrop of the Hilton San Diego Bayfront, proud hosting sponsor, the event offers a moving space for reflection and remembrance. After the climb, participants are invited to recoup, recharge, and relax together at the resort, enjoying bites, beverages, and camaraderie. Why It Matters: This commemorative event brings together the community in remembrance, while raising funds for Fire Fighter Aid, a local 501(c)(3) supporting firefighters and families affected by line-of-duty injuries and tragedies. Register & Donate: Registration is open—participants of all ages are welcome, with pricing tiers and fundraising goals in place. Plus, volunteer opportunities are available to help make this moving event possible. San Diego 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb on Facebook
