How about a little REVERSE Trick or Treating with a SERVICE Twist this year!?!

How about a little service-oriented twist to Halloween this year!?!  Instead of just taking the kids on the traditional Trick or Treating expedition, how about making some holiday treats and doing a little reverse trick or treating to some special people in your life that have helped you along the way.

Here are some fun treats you could share. For the recipes check out our Kids All Around blog:

        

 

You will also want to check out our Halloween Tips for staying Safe, Halloween Freebies in the valley, and all of the fun Halloween Activities going on in the valley.  Keep in mind that many of these activities and events could use some volunteers, and just showing up and supporting the event is a great way to serve as well. When you've put all of that work into planning a great halloween party, it's always nice to have a good crowd show up to enjoy!!

And for the 'After Halloween' adventures, check out the Operation Gratitude: Halloween Candy BuyBack. What a great way to thank our troops and keep our families healthy!!

There is a lot happening in the valley for Halloween.

Find an Inspirational quote that resonates with you!

Enjoy this note from one of my favorite Teambuilding Coaches, Michelle Cummings of Training Wheels:

I love quotes.  I always seem to trip across the exact right quote at the exact right time.  It's like the universe knows I need to hear that precise message that day.  I think one reason why I love quotes so much because they are powerful little nuggets of advice wrapped up in 1-2 lines.  When I was a counselor for troubled youth in my 20's I actually hot-glued a clear plastic window onto my backpack and would stick a different hand written 'quote of the day' in it every day.  I know there were days that the kids didn't listen to anything I had said, but maybe, just maybe, they walked behind me on the trail and was inspired by the words of a famous leader scribbled on a notecard.  I tried to be intentional with the message that might resonate with an individual or the group as a whole.

Today I use quotes weekly in my newsletters as a kick-off to whatever content I'm writing about.  I love to find quotes that are witty or funny, yet have a good message at the same time.  I probably like these the most as they fit with my personality, plus who doesn't need a good giggle in their day?  The Zig Ziglar quote at the top of this newsletter is hands-down my favorite quote of all time.  Witty, funny, yet packs a powerful message.  In a word, Brilliant.

I also like to use quotes in my programs.  Whether it be as an opener, a closer or verbally thrown in to emphasize a point, quotes just make me happy.
