          REMINDER: Support Fair Trade:  Request Your Free 2009 Reverse 
Trick - or Treating  Today!     



Halloween  2009
Participate in the Third  Annual Reverse Trick-or-Treating!


On Halloween  night, school children, university/college students, and  
adults across the US and Canada will unite to  help:
    *   END poverty among cocoa  farmers  
    *   END  abusive child labor in the cocoa  industry  
    *   PROMOTE  Fair Trade  
    *   PROTECT  the environment 
by giving  Fair Trade chocolate back to adults... while  Trick-or-Treating 
door-to-door in their communities on  Halloween.  The chocolate is attached 
to a card with  information about social & environmental justice issues  in 
the cocoa industry and how buying Fair Trade certified  chocolate provides a 
solution.  Parents rave about how  Reverse Trick-or-Treating transforms 
Halloween into a  meaningful event when youth activists give back to their  
neighbors and to cocoa growing communities.
