Summertime is my favorite season. But October has a special place for me. I love the change in colors. Pretty yellow, green and brown leaves falling from the trees. Slow drives on tree lined streets admiring the scenery knowing that each day brings it own beauty until winter settles in. We start out in light jackets and end in coats. It is the month before it gets unbearably cold. It is our last chance to enjoy the outdoors before the ice and snow blankets our streets. I love October.
Here a few things that October is known for besides Halloween:
NATIONAL BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH
National Breast Cancer Awareness Month educates women about the importance of early detection. More and more women are getting mammograms to detect breast cancer in its earliest stages. As a result, breast cancer deaths are on the decline. Encourage the women in your life to get mammograms on a regular basis. For more information, go to http://www.nbcam.org/index.cfm
AUTOMOTIVE CAREER MONTH sponsored by National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA)
Students across the U.S. will learn about the wide variety of career opportunities available in automobile and truck dealerships. Young people participating in Automotive Career Month will receive a "behind-the-scenes" tour of a new car or truck dealership in their community to see first-hand how the business works in all areas of its operation. During the event, they will have an opportunity to interact directly with dealership employees and view a new video on auto careers. A partial list of participating dealerships and dates of their events is available on the "students" link at http://www.nada.org/careers
