Daze of the Dead - DotD

Hello,
Have you ever heard of the Mexican celebrations called "Day of the Dead" or anything about Sugar Skulls?
(~*~)
   Every year starting November 1st (at midnight) to the 2nd, Mexicans honour & celebrate the lives of their loved ones whom have passed away. To many it can be a way to remember the beauty within them, the love they shared, and of course the ties they had between them.
   We here at C.E.S. appreciate this, and like to raise awareness/ "clone" this in our own ways. We start this on October 1st to encourage awareness of the upcoming Day, and enable more comfort for others to participate.  Welcome to my land of many themed activities/ events, that last ALL MONTH!

 #1: Grand Awareness, #2: Halloween Caper, #3: Frankenstein Friday, & BONUS: KKK+ (K/W King St. Krawl)!

WHY:
 To help others be more comfortable with the subject of/ death.
