Indiana MoneyWise October 2018 | Page 2

Dear Hoosiers:

Thank you for reading the Indiana Secretary of

State’s e-magazine. The purpose of this publication

is to provide Hoosiers with timely tips and information

on smart money management and investment fraud

prevention.

This past summer brought about some record-breaking heat, but fall is upon us and things are finally beginning to cool down! The trees are colorful and the air is crisp, just in time for the Midterm election season. This issue will focus on Indiana Fall tourism for the whole family and provide some tips to make sure you are ready to vote in November.

Being an active and prosperous citizen in Indiana means being financially responsible as well as civically engaged. Indiana MoneyWise has busted many voter myths to make sure Hoosiers are prepared to make their voice heard! Thinking about investing this fall? Read about the October Effect for stock market history. If hayrides and apple cider are on the list, this e-magazine will help you find just that, along with festivals to celebrate right here in the wonderful state of Indiana. Enjoy the 2018 Fall MoneyWise e-magazine!

Sincerely,

Connie Lawson

Indiana Secretary of State
