Thanksgiving is about appreciating the people around you and being grateful for the things you have. Here are four ways you can help spread cheerful vibes to our community.

1. Deliver meals to seniors to bring holiday cheer.
2. Write thank-you notes for veterans, health-care workers or teachers.
3. Support a family in need by sponsoring a Thanksgiving meal.
4. Create care packages for homeless shelters or deployed troops.

Members, did you know you can apply for a Do-Good Grant®️ to create one of these projects? Ask me how!

When you hear the phrase "compound interest," what comes to mind?

· Is it magic money growth?
· A confusing math term?
· The reason your savings could explode over time?

Let’s break it down together. Compound interest is when your money earns interest on both the original amount and the interest it’s already earned. Over time, that can really add up.

Back in the day, members used unique ways to express the need to prepare for the unexpected.

Goggles (called "hoodwinks") were sometimes worn by a new member as part of an initiation ritual. Pins (push buttons) on the goggles changed the color seen through eyepieces from black to red, open and closed.

This prop showed that things change throughout your life.
