It’s that time of year again, when goblins, ghosts and ghouls take to the streets toting their buckets and pillowcases door-to-door, filling them with heaps of candy.

This Friday, October 7th marks the 17th annual celebration of World Smile Day®. This is the one day of the year devoted to smiles and acts of kindness throughout the world. The message for World Smile Day is: “Do an act of kindness. Help one person smile!”
