Describe your favorite Halloween Costume
and why? (Can be for either one you wore
or one for your child/children.)
THOUGHT FOR THE MONTH
“October, here’s to you. Here’s to the
heady aroma of the frost kissed apples, the
winey smell of unpicked grapes, the wild-as
-the-wind smell of hickory nuts and the
nostalgic whiff of the first woods smoke.”

“MANAGING HOLIDAY EXPENSES: HOW TO
REDUCE SPENDING TO REDUCE FINANCIAL STRESS”
NOVEMBER MAIL-OUT LEADER LESSON
Holidays are often an exciting time of year. Spending time with family, enjoying time off
work, and celebrating with family traditions are enjoyable activities. However, the holidays can also represent added stress due to the crunch on your wallet.
Have you ever looked forward to a holiday while worrying about how you will pay for it?
Have you even stressed about how to provide a fun experience for children without
breaking the bank? Decorations, gifts, and food expenses add up quickly.
The objectives of this lesson are to learn to develop a budget for upcoming holiday expenses, identify ways to re-use and make decorations, and identify cost saving strategies for specific holidays.
This November leader lesson is a mail-out lesson on “Managing Holiday Expenses:
How to Reduce Spending to Reduce Financial Stress.”
Look for it in your mailbox
sometime in November.
