Weekly Recommendation
This week’s recommendation is to check out the fall holiday colors at USF. It’s a beautiful campus; enjoy the last few days if not hours of fall colors.
Please continue to volunteer at your local food bank whenever possible. Volunteer hours have dropped each of the last 2 years, and need our help more than ever.
