"Speak Up For Service Day on October 30th recognizes the importance of young people to be actively involved in community service. Too often, the good deeds of young people go unnoticed by their communities. Speak Up For Service Day gives recognition to the overlooked. It serves as a reminder to tell others about the contributions of young people to their communities. Each year, the Speak Up For Service public speaking contest is held in conjunction with the North Dakota State Lions Convention. Other Lions Clubs and Districts throughout North America sponsor similar public speaking contests. Young people share their insight on issues of the day. Additionally, they speak about the contributions of Lions to making the world a better place."
My notes: Include kids in the community & they'll include you in their hearts.

"On October 30th, the country celebrates its favorite vegetable with National Candy Corn Day. In the late 1800s, George Renninger of Wunderle Candy Company created candy corn. His sweet treat represented the bright colors of corn kernels. Originally, candy corn was yellow, orange and white. However, it wasn’t until1889 that the Goelitz Candy Company made the candy popular. Later, other candy makers developed a variety of popular colors and flavors as well. The original confection was made by hand using corn syrup, sugar, water, marshmallows, fondant, and carnauba wax (a wax made from the leaves of a palm tree). However, modern candy makers combine the original ingredients using machines. These days, numerous recipes create the candy corn flavors in cakes, cookies, beverages, and more."
My notes: Who likes candy corn? I used to. I don't eat sugar much anymore, especially if it's not organic & these are hard to find.

I have heard of candy corn from movies and TV shows but I have no idea what it is.
I've always loved the look of it but never had a chance to try it out really.

"National Publicist Day recognizes publicists around the country on October 30th and the PR they provide each day. On October 30, 1906, the New York Times printed verbatim the very first press release written by Ivy Lee, the “father of modern PR.” Ivy Lee represented the Pennsylvania Railroad. On October 28th, 1906, 50 people lost their lives. A three-car train jumped a trestle in New Jersey and plunged into a thoroughfare creek. In response, Ivy Lee created the first press release. He not only convinced the railroad to distribute a public statement, but he also convinced them to provide a special train to get reporters to the scene of the accident."
My notes: Are you into PR? Have you had to utilize their services before? I haven't.

"On October 30th, World Audio Drama Day celebrates telling stories through sound. The day also recognizes how audio drama has evolved through the years. People around the world often look to television, movies, or other forms of visual arts for entertainment. Many people, however, enjoy being entertained through audio. This form of entertainment is called audio drama. The most important feature of audio drama is spoken dialogue. Music and sound effects are often added to enhance one’s listening experience."
My notes: Do you like listening to audio? It can be in the form of radio, podcasts, etc. I rather read than listen myself. I need to see the words AND to hear them.
