Fall Bucket List Challenges
Fall is a season of celebration, as communities come together for festivals and gatherings to revel in the beauty and
bounty of the season. It's a time for hayrides, pumpkin picking and corn mazes. It encourages reflection and gratitude for the gifts of nature and the simple pleasures of warmth, comfort, and togetherness. Fall is a season that captivates the senses and nourishes the soul.
GBU Life Optimity members were challenged to celebrate every little facet of fall with a daily challenge from October 16 to November 16. Members who completed ten challenges got to select a 501(c)(3) non-profit for us to support with a $50 donation.
