Adoption advocates will be on hand to talk to potential adoptive parents and provide information about support services. For information, call 535-0110.

Monster Museum

"Chronicles of Narnia" author C.S. Lewis' "The Screwtape Letters" provided the inspiration for the Monster Museum, a UNICEF fund-raiser opening tomorrow and held nightly 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. through Halloween, at the Unitarian Church, 2500 Pali Highway.

Uncle Screwtape explained to his nephew, Wormwood, how to get new souls for the devil. These well-appointed rooms show how monsters, witches, devils and vampires lived on a daily basis.

There won't be any screaming monsters with chainsaws. Instead, you'll find a vampire eating his elegant feast, an Ancestral Art Gallery, and a Hall of Lost Souls. Admission: $4 ($2 children, $10 family rate); 595-6202.
