I'M DENNIS ANDERSON AND THS DANNY'S DESK.

FALL IS A SEASON OF TRANSI.

THE START OF THE SCHOOL YE, THE RETURN OF ROUTINES, ANE TURN TOWARD COLDER DAYS BRA CERTAIN RHYTHM BACK INTO OR LIVES.

IT'S A NATURAL TIME TO THIK ABOUT HEALTH, NOT JUST IN S OF THE BODY BUT ALSO THE M. PHYSICALLY, THE SEASON NUDS TO ADAPT.

THE DAYLIGHT SHORTENS, THE TEMPERATURES COOL, AND FORY OF US ACTIVITY DRIFTS INDO.

GOOD HEALTH IS NOT ABOUT LG THE COUCH TAKE OVER.

A BRISK WALK IN THE CRISP .

A WEEKEND HIKE AMONG THE LS OR EVEN A SIMPLY FAMILY -- FAMILY CHORE LIKE BREAKINGR STACKING FIREWOOD.

WHEN THE AIR COOLS, WE BREA LITTLE DEEPER AND OUR HEARS WORK JUST A LITTLE HARDER.

THE SMALL STEADY MOVEMENT S STAMINA ALIVE AND REMINDS S THAT HEALTH IS NOT SOMETHIE ACHIEVE ONCE BUT WE CARRY SOMEONE WITH A STAY BY DAY.

MENTAL HEALTH DESERVES AS H ATTENTION THIS TIME OF YEA.

THE RETURN OF STRUCTURE, TE PRESSURES OF NEW CLASSROOMD WORKLOADS, AND THE CREEPING DARKNESS OF SHORTER DAYS TO WEIGH ON THE SPIRIT.

FALL AND WINTER INTO -- ASS TO BE INTENTIONAL WITH OURS THAT MEANS CARVING OUT TIMR CONVERSATIONS AT THE DINNER TABLE, FINDING MOMENTS TO REFLECT, OR SIMPLY CHECKINN WITH ONE ANOTHER.

HUMAN CONNECTION OR -- CONNECTION IS THE MOST FRO- RELIABLE SHIELD AGAINST THE STRESS AND ISOLATION THE CD MONTHS CAN BRING.

A KIND WORD OR A SHARED LAH KEEPS THE MIND STEADY.

HEALTH AT ITS CORE IS BALA.

THE RECOGNITION THAT OUR BS AND OUR MINDS WORK BEST WHN BOTH ARE CARED FOR.

THE FALL SEASON REMINDS USF THIS BALANCE.

NATURE PREPARES ITSELF ARRT WHILE ALSO ALLOWING AND SHG THE GREATEST BURST OF COLO.

IN THE SAME WAY, WE CAN APH THE COMING MONTHS WITH ENEY AND REFLECTION.

ACTIVITY AND REST.

WORK AND RESTORATION.

SO AS WE SETTLE INTO THE SL YEAR AND LOOK AHEAD TO WIN, LET US TREAT HEALTH NOT ASA CHECKLIST BUT AS A WAY OF .

REMEMBER, WELLNESS IS NOT T GETTING THROUGH THE SEASONT ABOUT FINDING MEANING AND Y WITHIN IT.

BECAUSE OF ITS LONGEVITY WE DON'T SEE DATA THAT DOESN'W UP BECAUSE THERE'S NOT ENOH PEOPLE IN THAT TO GILLER CY OR COMMUNITY.

THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT, TH'S LOCAL AND THE DATA IS CAP .

WE USE THESE DATA TO INFORM FULL-TIME FUNDING REQUESTS.

WE HAVE GAPS IN OUR SERVICD NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITY.

THIS SHINES A LIGHT ON THOE AREAS FOR US.

HELPS US DRIVE THE WORK FOR STRATEGIC PLANNING.

PART OF THE KEYSTONE OF ITS THAT IT'S INDEPENDENT.

GENERATIONS THAT WASN'T AVAILABLE.

WHAT SETS US APART IS THATE CHOOSE TO DO THIS EVERY FIE YEARS.

WE HAVE OVER 40 SPONSORING PARTNERING ORGANIZATIONS AS THE 10 COUNTIES THAT COME TOGETHER TO MAKE THIS HAPP.

THE FACT THAT IT'S NOT A MANDATE.

THE FACT THAT IT DOESN'T HO HAPPEN BRINGS AND ENERGY TT BECAUSE EVERY FIVE YEARS, E REGION SAYS, WE VALUE THIS INFORMATION AND WE WOULD LO ENDEAVOR ON THIS PROJECT A.

WHETHER IT'S DEVELOPING NEW PROJECTS, SUSAN MENTIONED RECEIVING GROUND SUPPORT, HOWEVER THE DATA CAN BE HE.

WHAT WE ASKED IN 1995 WILLL RELATE TO WHAT WE ARE ASKIG THIS YEAR.

WE DO MODIFY THE LANGUAGE T THE COMMUNITY THAT WE ARE G RESPONSES FROM.

THE LANGUAGE THAT WE USED N 1995 MIGHT NOT BE APPROPRIE FOR TODAY.

WE DO TRY TO BE RESPECTFULF THAT.

>> I'M SURE THE QUESTIONS D TO STAY SIMILAR SO YOU CAN COMPARE FIVE YEARS FROM FIE YEARS.
