Welcome to our fifth edition of the Hot Button.
The holiday season is upon us. For many, it can be a time of reflection. A time to express gratitude for our many blessings and find ways to help others. A great opportunity to give back is on Giving Tuesday.
With Halloween this weekend, we also wanted to share with you some simple safety tips from the POM team. Whether you’re going out with friends or trick or treating with your family, we want to make sure you have a safe and enjoyable Halloween.
Be safe. Stay prepared. Enjoy the beauty around you.
