The nights are getting longer as we enter the thick of autumn.

With Thanksgiving just a few weeks away, try to remember those community members who may be struggling. Think about donating to our local food banks and assisting charities that help those in need. This way, everyone will have a happier holiday!

Many people are still trying to fit exercise in during the fall even though the sun sets much earlier.

If you are heading out to walk or run through the neighborhood, try to wear light colored clothing or reflective gear.

The community streets get very dark and it is hard to see people running and walking.
