Welcome to your Fall Adventure!
As children are heading back to school, the daylight hours are wan-
ing, leaves are becoming crisp and falling; our minds too, are in need

something new, learn a new skill or hobby or brush up on things once
learned long ago. Take this opportunity to participate in the Wood &
Burlap wreath class, learn about how to preserve precious energy and
money by take the Saving Energy 101 class, and have some by taking
a day trip or be really adventurous by going on an overseas trip .
Perhaps you would like to learn about essential oils and how they can
improve your health. Whatever your fall revival will be, make sure
