October is one of my favorite months; I wish it would last longer. However, it’s important to enjoy every moment of this New England gift. The cooler temperatures and the beautiful foliage is something to be admired – take advantage if you can as we know the cold weather will be right around the corner. Let's take a look at what's happening next week at CMS.
Wishing everyone a weekend.
