October Events Roundup

It’s October, the official beginning of fall and the month where the kids get to trick or treat for Halloween. It’s also the only month of the year when all four major North American Sports leagues schedule games – the NFL, the NHL and the NBA generally start in the last week while the MLB postseason is just ending. I also want to give a shout out to teachers everywhere, especially right here in Central Florida, as we celebrate World Teachers Day on October 5th. A big thanks for everything you do.
