Kiwanis Club joins the Timbers of Shorewood to Create a Haunted House for Charity

The Timbers of Shorewood is hosting the 8th annual fundraising Halloween Haunted House from 5 - 10 p.m. Friday, Oct. 24, and Saturday, Oct. 25. The scary spook house will be located in the lower level at The Timbers of Shorewood, 1100 N. River Road, Shorewood.

Admission is $5, and all funds will be donated to Alzheimer’s Association and the Kiwanis Club of Shorewood.

With the assistance of the Kiwanis Club of Shorewood, the staff at The Timbers will transform its ballroom into a frightening maze filled with ghastly creatures including skeletons, mummies, zombies and reapers.

“Our Spook House is so much fun, and each year it gets more creepy and spine-chilling – on purpose, of course,” said Faith Varga, executive director of The Timbers.

A less scary alternative is the first floor Elms Community Room which will be converted into a Halloween Game Room for children, toddler to age five. Fun with games and crafts will take place, and refreshments will be served. Game Room hours are 5 - 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 24 and Saturday, Oct. 25.

“It was wonderful to see so many attendees at last year’s Spook House,” Vaarga said. “Not only did everyone have a great time, but the funds we raised went to two inspiring community organizations. We are certainly looking forward to this year.”

The Timbers of Shorewood is a rental retirement community which provides independent and assisted living apartments as well as a full schedule of activities and services. Furnished apartments are also available for a short-term stay - a weekend, a week, a month or longer.

Admission to the Spook House is $5; $3 to the Halloween Game Room. For more information call 815-609-0669 or visit http://www.timbersofshorewood.com/.
