Falcon Fall Fest this Thursday from 6:00 - 8:30. GSS is hosting a game booth. Meet in the South parking lot and look for Emi Juchems. 🍁🍂🍃

If you were unable to stay after the October meeting and make coloring books for children at Mercy Hospital, you still can!

Choose a theme for your coloring book, print off 5 to 6 coloring pages that you find online, make a cute cover, and staple it all together (left hand corner). Do not write anything along the lines of "Get well soon."

Drop your coloring books off in the LLC, by October 15.
