This is the month of thanks. Think about all the things that you hold special in your heart and be thankful that you are lucky enough to have them. November is always a good time to throw away your diet and pig out! Always avoid sticky and chewy things so that you won’t break your brackets.
Pumpkins
Do you have pumpkin leftovers? So many of us carve our pumpkins, and once Halloween is over, we don’t know what to do with the leftovers. If you love to carve pumpkins but hate dealing with the mess, Michael’s Craft store sells hollow fake pumpkins that are great for carving.
Candy Buy Back
Remember to bring in Halloween candy to receive extra Century coins. We hope this will help prevent you from breaking brackets.
Shopping Reminder Day
For all of you holiday shoppers, November 25th is shopping reminder day. There is only one month left until Christmas, and Hanukkah begins on the 1st of December.
Leaves Falling
What a beautiful site to see all the different colors of autumn. This month is the perfect time to spend raking leaves into one enormous pile! Then take a great plunge into them, making an explosion of leaves all over the street. Then hurry to do it all over again.
Great American Smokeout
November 17th is America’s day for a better future. This is a day when people give up smoking for the day. This day was created to help people give up their nasty habit and also to help save the environment. This day also reminds people that smoking kills so many every year, and if you quit smoking right now, your body will thank you. www.preventionpartners.com

Say No to Drunk Drivers
Each day drunk drivers are being arrested for driving after drinking too much. Drunk driving cost people $135 billion annually. With $51 billion is just due to the accidents that they are involved in. Drunk drivers are always at fault when they are in an accident even if the other driver caused the accident. The more that one drinks the higher the chance of them getting into an accident. For our patients that are 21 or older please drink responsibly. Remember to always have a designated driver to help keep you safe this holiday season. www.madd.org
November Month of Thanks
The month of November is a chance to enjoy the time that we have with our families. We give thanks that we have them. We give thanks that we can put food on our tables and love in our hearts. Almost every family in America celebrates Thanksgiving in some way. Many spend it with their families, but many people choose to spend their time helping the less fortunate. They celebrate by making and preparing food to give to the homeless and to those who do not have enough money to provide a thanksgiving dinner. This time of year, there are many food drives. Next time you go to the store remember to pick up a few extra canned goods. That way when the scouts stop by, or schools are asking you to make donations, you won’t have to make a trip out. This is also the month to start thinking about the winter holiday and buying things for your friends and loved ones. There are many places that you can donate gifts, new or used coats, shoes and toys to give to those who have little or nothing.
Young Readers Week
November 7-11, 2010
Young readers week is one of the most important weeks of the whole year. In 1989 Pizza Hut and Library of Congress got together to encourage kids to read. Reading is a unique skill to help improve the growth of learning. Read to your children or have them read to you. Books are always a great gift. (holiday hint)
Books
If you are looking for a “GOOD” book to read sometimes this can be very difficult. There is a great place online to help you keep track of the books you have read and the ones that you want to. You can type reviews of the books you’ve read to remind you how good or bad they were. You can see what friends are reading, their reviews, and what they plan on reading next.

Vegan Awareness Month
What is a Vegan? Veganism is a type of vegetarian diet that excludes meat, eggs, dairy products and all other animal-derived ingredients. Many vegans also do not eat foods that are processed using animal products such as refined white sugar and some wines. Most vegans also avoid the use of all products tested on animals as well as animal-derived non-food products, such as leather, fur and wool.
