Summer was certainly busy, and it doesn’t appear that Fall will be much different! We got a little taste of cooler weather last week and hopefully it will come to stay that way soon. As the cooler weather approaches, consider taking advantage by getting out in the fresh air. Take a walk around the neighborhood or grab a friend and head for the park. Getting in a few extra steps can do wonders for your mood and burn extra calories too! September is National Self-Care Awareness Month as well as National Suicide Prevention Month. Walking and talking to someone can help fill both of these needs!

As the school year starts back, we are gearing up for a new year as well. Homemaker Enrollment forms are out. Please complete a new form for this year and turn in to the extension office. All enrollment forms turned in by November 1st will be put in for a prize drawing! Please check the newsletter for dates for the multi-county leader lesson sign-ups, the Area Meeting, and officer training. As well, I am including the list of lessons for the year, so you can be thinking about what lessons you might be interested in leading.

One last thing I want to note is the Big Blue Book Club is hosting a Snack Club… tune in to podcasts and talking FACs with Extension Specialists giving tips and tricks to Raising a Healthy, Happy Eater. If you are pressed for time, you don’t have to read the book, just register and listen in while they summarize it for you! Mondays and Thursdays in September (after Labor Day) See details in the newsletter!

Take Care and have a fantastic fall!
