SUMMARY:Volunteer Recognition Day
DESCRIPTION:Volunteer Recognition Day is the annual celebration of those who selflessly benefit the lives of others. By providing a helping hand to those in need\, humans and animals alike\, we are all naturally working towards making the world a better place. \n\n\n \n#VolunteerRecognitionDay\nEvery single one of us has been benefited from the work of a volunteer and Volunteer Recognition Day acknowledges the beauty of this phenomenon. Every direction we turn\, we can do something outside of our daily list of requirements.  As you go about your day\, honor and thank those who go to the extra mile. \nHigh profile celebrities like Oprah Winfrey and Bono have made a name beyond the stage for their work with various foundations. Although most of us are not millionaires\, their work goes to show that anyone can get their hands dirty\, step out of their comfort zone and lend a hand to those in need. \n\n\n\nA lot of times volunteering comes down finding a cause that moves you. For some people\, taking care of animals influences them\, whereas the human condition calls to others requiring they meet the needs of a few or many in their community or far and wide. With so many opportunities to offer love and support to those who won’t take it for granted\, it’s hard not to want to get involved! \n\n\n \nHOW TO OBSERVE VOLUNTEER RECOGNITION DAY\nTake a moment to thank a volunteer in your life. \nEvaluate your current schedule and see where you can fit in time for volunteering. Pick a cause you’re passionate about! Whether it’s donating your money or often even more importantly\, your time\, there’s always something to be done. Don’t forget\, your skills are valuable to organizations\, too. Many volunteer organizations provide services to people who would otherwise go without if it weren’t for volunteers. So think of your specific skill set and consider who it might benefit if times are tough. \nHere are a few ideas to get you started: \n\ntax services to those who’ve fallen on hard times\nwig styling for someone undergoing chemo\ndental services for those who cannot afford dental insurance\nyard care for elderly or disabled\nsew quilts\, weighted blankets\, post-mastectomy drain bulb covers\, and many other projects to support those in need\n\nSource Link

SUMMARY:National High Five Day
DESCRIPTION:Each year on the third Thursday in April\, we observe National High Five Day. This is a fun day where you can “High Five” everyone that you see. \n\n\n \n#NationalHighFiveDay\nFolklore fills the hallowed halls of sports stadiums concerning the origins of the high five. From the basketball to the volleyball court and baseball stadium\, the sports metaphor has been well worn on this topic. \nThe two most well-known claims take place in less than a two-year time span. \nDuring the last 1977 regular season Dodgers’ game\, Dusty Baker hit the home run that made the team the first in history to have four players with at least 30 regular-season home runs each.  As Baker rounded third and headed home\, Glenn Burke waited at home plate to congratulate him. In a moment that is Dodgers history but was never televised\, Burke greeted his teammate by raising his hand\, and they slapped hands in a victorious high five. \nDuring basketball’s 1978-79 season\, the University of Louisville basketball team switched up their regular low-fives on the home court thanks to Wiley Brown and Derek Smith. \nOut of all the triumphant sports gestures\, such as the fist bump\, fanny slap\, fist pump\, end zone dance\, and chest bump\, the high five stands in a class all its own. \n\n\n \nHOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL HIGH FIVE DAY\n\nCelebrate with a high five!\nSee if you can find all the fives in the High Five hidden picture.\nOnce you’ve tried\, check out the key.\nIf you’re looking for ways to get children involved in sports\, check out local organizations for a list of sports activities in your town. That’s a High Five in our books!\nUse #NationalHighFiveDay to post on social media.\n\nSource Link
