TUSTIN HIGH SCHOOL- TILLER TRICK OR TREAT REQUEST
SUMMARY:
The Associated Student Body at Tustin High School is seeking a contribution of $2,500 to
cover the cost of implementing the "Tiller Trick or Treat" event on October 31, 2002.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Tustin High School Associated Student Body is requesting the City Council appropriate
$2,500 from the Community Promotions Account (01-801-6906) to cover the cost of candy
and decorations for the "Tiller Trick or Treat" event.
BACKGROUND:
The "Tiller Trick or Treat" event offers a safe Halloween experience to children attending
Thorman, Estock, Veeh, Nelson, Lambert, Beswick and Benson Elementary Schools.
Attendance at the 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001 events totaled over 1,200
children each. The City Council in the past has granted allocations of $2,000 in 1996 and
1997, and $2,500 in 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001.
Tustin High School students are responsible for implementing the evening's program, which
leads children on a trick or treat journey through many of the classrooms at Tustin High. In
the Halloween theme, each classroom is creatively decorated, and all children who enter
receive a special treat (candy).
Christina Byington and Luz Quinones, representing the Associated Student Body, and
Gerry Aust, Interim Assistant Principal, will be in attendance at the October 7, 2002 City
Council meeting to answer any questions. A letter from Tustin High School specifying their
request is attached.

To City Council:
As Halloween is approaching rapidly we again need your generous funding to host our
seventh annual Tiller Trick or Treat. In the past you have generously dbnated $2500.00
and without your help the Tiller Trick or Treat would not be such a great success for our
community's children. Last year over 2000 youngsters enjoyed a safe, fun-filled
evening. Upon writing this letter we request to be placed on your agenda. Thank you for
your time and courtesy.
Sincerely,
Christina Byington
