On September 22nd we officially welcomed the Fall season. For those of you who thrive on the
brilliant changes of colors on the trees and the crisp Autumn weather, the next few weeks should be
breathtaking! We have included an interesting article on the birth of SPAM (the emails we

vote on November 4th.
