As the lecturer for the intro to design course taken by all interior design, graphic design, fashion, and marketing majors, I got to know a lot of students, who asked me to support lots of things, and I usually said "yes." This was among my favorite volunteer efforts over the years. The concept itself did not need selling---the forest was a local legend that was abandoned when the faculty member who volunteered her time to organize the really quite complex undertaking retired. After several years of "another Halloween without a haunted forest," the Center for Addiction Recovery at Georgia Southern University picked up the mantel and asked me to help get the word out that the forest was back. The teaser poster with the clown (bottom) went up mid-September and the poster with the actual dates went up just days before the thing began. Having the forest on campus added another level of legal complications that flummoxed even seasoned bureaucracy navigators (tree roosts had to be leveled on the forest path to make them wheelchair accessible, which had to be done through a request to the physical plant, who did not have a budget for that & etc.). In the end, it went off without a hitch, and has grown each year, raising important unrestricted funds for the Center for Addiction Recovery.
