Fall is the perfect time to head to a local orchard and enjoy one of the season’s favorite family traditions—apple picking! Crisp autumn air, colorful leaves, and rows of fresh apples make for a fun day outdoors, and you’ll go home with plenty of fruit for snacking, baking, or making homemade c***r and applesauce. Three of the most popular apple varieties are Honeycrisp, loved for its sweet, juicy crunch; Gala, a mild and naturally sweet favorite for eating fresh; and Granny Smith, known for its tart flavor and firm texture that makes it especially good for pies and baking. Grab a basket, gather the family, and make a day of enjoying the flavors and traditions of fall!

Today is National Good Neighbor Day. This day is celebrated on September 28 and is a perfect reflection of what the Royal Arcanum stands for—neighbors helping neighbors, families supporting families, and communities growing stronger through kindness and service. For generations, Royal Arcanum members and Councils have embraced the spirit of fraternity by lending a helping hand, supporting those in need, and making a positive difference in their communities. Whether it’s checking in on an older neighbor, welcoming a new family, volunteering locally, or simply offering a friendly hello, every act of kindness strengthens the bonds that bring us together.

This National Good Neighbor Day, we encourage every Royal Arcanum member and Council to put our fraternal values into action: reach out to a neighbor, lend a hand, or organize a small act of service in your community. Together, let’s show what it means to be part of the Royal Arcanum—caring for one another and building stronger communities, one good neighbor at a time.

The members of New Jersey have provided financial support since the school was founded to ensure the students they serve receive an outstanding education and specialized services. The Supreme Council approved the project and will reimburse Bayonne Council and the Grand Council of New Jersey for half of their respective donations. Both councils have maximized their 2026 IFS reimbursement with their donations. Congratulations!

The Majesty of C***r Donuts

Few treats capture the feeling of fall quite like a warm apple c***r donut. With their soft, cakey centers, sweet cinnamon-sugar coating and unmistakable apple-spice flavor, c***r donuts have become a favorite autumn tradition for families everywhere. Whether enjoyed during a trip to the apple orchard, after an afternoon of pumpkin picking or simply with a warm drink on a crisp September morning, they have a way of making the season feel a little more special. And while a trip to the farmstand is always fun, you can bring that delicious fall tradition right into your own kitchen. Gather the family, roll up your sleeves and try making your own batch with the recipe below!

I've been making this delicious and easy recipe for baked apple c***r donuts for years! The secret is to reduce down the apple c***r to intesify its flavor.

The crisp Autumn nights is a great time to start the Family Walk Challenge.

A Family Walk Challenge is a great September activity because it combines exercise with something families can easily do together. The benefits include better physical fitness, reduced stress, more time outdoors, and less screen time. Walking can also help improve sleep, mood, and energy levels.

For families, though, one of the biggest benefits is simply time to talk. A 20- or 30-minute walk after dinner gives parents and children a chance to catch up without televisions, phones, homework, or other distractions. Making it a challenge—such as walking together three times a week or reaching a certain number of family miles during the month—can also give everyone a shared goal and make exercise feel more like a fun family activity than a chore.
