SUMMARY:National Smile Power Day
DESCRIPTION:On June 15th each year\, National Smile Power Day shares one powerful expression. \n#SmilePowerDay\nFrom the good morning greeting and the first “How may I help you?” present yourself with a smile. No matter where you are employed\, job seeking\, retired\, or looking for new horizons starting the day with a smile is certainly more empowering than a pout or grump. Starting with a smile first is easier than trying to get there later in the day. \nWhen you smile at someone\, you are telling them that they are valued and worth the smile that you just gave them. Smiles are morale boosters and confidence builders. \nResearch has proven that smiling really does increase attractiveness and likability among humans. Smiling creates greater trust and increased interpersonal cooperation. Smiling at someone can help them to relax and relieve their stress while at the same time\, it will make you feel at ease\, too. Even if you do not feel like it\, smiling will lift your mood and can make you a happier person. \nHOW TO OBSERVE SMILE POWER DAY\nChallenge yourself to smile more often today. Use a smile to disarm a tense situation\, or simply smile during your daily tasks. Are you having trouble smiling? \nTips to Help You Smile\n\nThink of a few happy moments that automatically generate a smile for you. You know\, those moments where you belly laughed until your stomach hurts or a time when you were so pleased with yourself your face hurt from smiling. Keep those memories handy and use them to help you smile more often.\nSave a couple of short jokes that are just so silly you can’t help but smile. Tell them to others\, too. The best ones are simple children’s jokes or riddles that play on words.\nLearn Spoonerisms. This fun way of swapping letters in two words in a phrase to make new words make people stop and think. And then they smile and so will you! An example of a Spoonerism is instead of ordering peas and carrots at a restaurant you say\, “I’ll have the keys and parrots.”\nMake a list of the things you’re grateful for. Which ones make you smile? Keep the list handy and refer to it often. Add to it and feel your smiles add up.\n\nUse #SmilePowerDay on social media. \nSource Link

SUMMARY:Juneteenth | June 19
DESCRIPTION:JUNETEENTH | JUNE 19\nEach year Juneteenth (June 19th) commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. The celebration takes place each year on June 19th\, recognizing an event that took place in Texas in 1865. \n#Juneteenth\nThe story of Juneteenth begins in Texas when Major General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston on June 19\, 1865\, with an announcement.

SUMMARY:Fathers Day
DESCRIPTION:On the third Sunday in June\, Father’s Day honors the role fathers play in the family structure and society. The day recognizes not just fathers\, but the father figures in our lives. These are the men we look up to who set solid examples for us and guide us throughout our lives. \n#FathersDay\nMany families dedicate the day to their fathers and grandfathers. Whether they are first-time fathers just learning to change a diaper\, or experienced fathers offering sage advice\, the day celebrates everything a father is. Fathers from family to family play a variety of roles. They may be a caregiver\, provider\, or advisor. Some fathers are the strong\, silent types. And yet others tell us stories for days. Fathers teach\, guiding small hands as they hammer a nail or sail a kite. \nWe only look up to our fathers for so long. At some point\, we begin to see things a little differently. But that’s not when we stop looking up to them. It’s at that point\, we turn and look forward together. \nSTN Inspirational Quotes To Keep You Inspired in 2021

SUMMARY:National PTSD Awareness Day
DESCRIPTION:NATIONAL PTSD AWARENESS DAY | JUNE 27\nEach year on June 27th\, National PTSD Awareness Day recognizes the effects post-traumatic stress has on the lives of those impacted by it. \n#NationalPTSDAwarenessDay\nPost Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) has a profound effect on the lives of those who suffer from it. The statistics alone are staggering\, but can only tell a portion of the story. The trauma and anxiety associated with PTSD is a constant burden\, inseparable from the sufferer. It was once a condition that was attributed only to returning combat veterans\, but more and more the condition is diagnosed in those who have experienced violent crime or lived through catastrophic events. According to PTSD United\, 20% of adults in the United States who have experienced a traumatic event suffer from PTSD. \nThe observance not only strives to bring awareness to the public but to also educate and eliminate the stigma associated with PTSD. Many of those with PTSD don’t seek treatment. Sometimes they simply fear the labels attached to PTSD. However\, with support and understanding\, we may all better understand the signs and provide better care. \n\nTrouble sleeping\nReliving memories of the event\nAnxious or on edge\nAvoidance of things or people who remind you of the event\n\nOver time\, these signs may fade. However\, if they don’t\, seeking treatment is not only suggested but helpful to many who suffer from PTSD. \nHOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL PTSD AWARENESS DAY\nReach out to someone you know who struggles with PTSD. Let them know you care and are there to help. Learn more about PTSD at NIMH or VA.gov. Use #NationalPTSDAwarenessDay to share on social media. \nNATIONAL PTSD AWARENESS DAY HISTORY\nThe United States Senate established PTSD Awareness Day in 2010 following then-Sen. Kent Conrad’s efforts to designate a day of awareness as a tribute to Army Staff Sgt. Joe Biel of the North Dakota National Guard. Biel suffered from PTSD and took his life in April 2007 after returning to North Dakota following his second tour of duty in the Iraq War. \nBiel’s birthday\, June 27th\, was chosen to mark PTSD Awareness Day and honor his memory. \nSource: National Day Calendar

SUMMARY:Independence Day (USA)
DESCRIPTION:INDEPENDENCE DAY\nEach year on July 4th\, the United States celebrates Independence Day. This federal holiday commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4\, 1776\, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain.  \nFor nearly 250 years\, the country has been celebrating a day in history that inspires us still today. On July 4th\, communities host speeches and ceremonies across the nation. Across the country\, people crowd cities for parades and festivals. Cities deck the streets in red\, white\, and blue bunting and flags. \nFamilies and friends also gather for some of the most mouthwatering food – large picnics and barbecues\, local fairs provide a taste of culture and mom’s home cooking\, too. With so many converging on their hometowns\, family and school reunions take place. \nFire Works\nBefore the day is over\, many communities hold spectacular fireworks displays re-enacting moments of victory. Patriotic music accompanies the performance while spectators view the show from blankets strewn along capital lawns or from boats floating in bays. Whether our National Anthem\, “The Star-Spangled Banner” or “God Bless America\,” many will sing along. In some locations\, music will be played by a live orchestra or band\, while in other areas it’s pre-recorded. Some of the most popular on the playlist are “America the Beautiful\,” “My Country\, Tis of Thee\,” “This Land Is Your Land\,” “Stars and Stripes Forever\,” “God Bless the U.S.A.\,” “Yankee Doodle” and “Dixie.” \nIn some parts of the country\, people will shoot their own fireworks while children delight in the bright colors and sparklers. They roast marshmallows and make s’ mores. \nHOW TO OBSERVE #IndependenceDay #July4th #4thOfJuly #FourthOfJuly\nSpend the day celebrating independence. Attend local events or travel the nation to see friends and relatives. \n\nAt noon\, a “Salute to the Union” is fired\, each July 4th\, by any capable military base. This is a salute of one gun for each state in the United States. \nIn 2009\, New York City hosted the largest fireworks display in the country. \nHeld since 1785\, the Bristol Fourth of July Parade in Bristol\, Rhode Island\, is the oldest continuous Independence Day celebration in the United States. \n\nShare your celebrations using #IndependenceDay\, #July4th\, #4thOfJuly\, FourthOfJuly on social media.

SUMMARY:National Mac and Cheese Day
DESCRIPTION:NATIONAL MAC AND CHEESE DAY | JULY 14\nOne of the classic comfort foods earns a place of honor on July 14th. It is National Mac and Cheese Day! \nCelebrating National Mac and Cheese Day on July 14th \n \n#NationalMacAndCheeseDay\nMade with macaroni noodles\, cream or milk\, and the golden goodness of cheese\, mac and cheese shines as a side dish while also standing on its own as a main dish. This meal reminds many of us of home while also teaching us the basics of the kitchen. What other recipes allow us to create so flamboyantly and often with so little knowledge about cooking? \nFrom the classic mac and cheese with cheddar or American cheeses to the spicy cowboy mac with bacon and jalapenos\, there’s a combination for everyone. Mix up the cheeses or load up on seasonings. It’s easy to get a toasty crust by setting the broiler for a couple of minutes at the end of the cooking time. \nMac and cheese offers a multitude of ways to enjoy it\, too. As a soup\, it warms us up after a long day. Stuff it inside a meatloaf or a burger for a meal made for a hungry\, busy family. Roll up bite-sized bits in bread crumbs and deep fry for mouthwatering appetizers. Put your favorite mac and cheese between two slices of crusty bread. Then put into a panini press for some grilled yumminess. Whether we like it mild or spicy\, mac and cheese has us covered.

SUMMARY:National Ice Cream Day
DESCRIPTION:NATIONAL ICE CREAM DAY |  THIRD SUNDAY IN JULY\nDish or cone? That’s all we need to know. National Ice Cream Day on the 3rd Sunday in July offers up every flavor on the menu to honor the day! The holiday also lands in the middle of National Ice Cream Month. \n#NationalIceCreamDay\nThousands of years ago\, people in the Persian Empire put snow in a bowl\, poured concentrated grape juice over it\, and ate it as a treat. Even when the weather was hot\, they would savor this sweet treat. Their trick? They placed snow in underground chambers known as yakchal where the temperatures kept the snow from melting. The Persians also hiked to the mountain tops by their summer capital to gather snowfall. \nhttps://spanningtheneed.com/2022/07/16/celebrating-national-ice-cream-day-on-july-16/ \nThe Chinese\, under the Tang Dynasty around 697 AD\, took to freezing dairy with salt and ice. However\, the results aren’t exactly the ice cream we enjoy today. Frozen treats and beverages later\, culinary folks point to Naples\, Italy as the birthplace of the first ice cream. They give credit to Antonio Latini. He was born in 1642 and created a milk-based sorbet. \nIn the United States\, the Quaker colonists earn the nod for bringing their ice recipes over with them. They opened the first ice cream shops\, including shops in New York and other cities during the colonial era.

SUMMARY:National Love is Kind Day
DESCRIPTION:NATIONAL LOVE IS KIND DAY | July 27\nJust as on July 4th Americans celebrate their independence\, so is July 27th to be celebrated—a day to celebrate independence from the abuser. July 27th\, National Love is Kind Day is the day to: \n\nCelebrate for all victims of domestic violence/domestic abuse their FREEDOM and INDEPENDENCE from their abuser.\nRecognize our right to be treated with KINDNESS. Because real love is kind\, not terrorizing.\nRealize that kindness is the path to healthy and safer relationships\, families\, society\, and the world.\nGive voice for and hope and support to others who are still suffering\, often in silence.\nSpread messages how we can be kind to one another\, especially to those closest to us.\nRemember that love is not abusive\, violent\, demeaning or dehumanizing.  If someone uses love as an excuse for their hurtful behavior\, it’s not real love.\n\nWith every generation\, the cycle of abuse continues to cripple families\, especially women and children who are most vulnerable. The cycle of abuse must stop now. \nCelebrating National Love is Kind Day\, Joyful and Productive Life on July 27th \n \n#NationalLoveIsKindDay\nNational Love is Kind Day encourages you to become aware of how you are treating people\, how people are treating you\, and how you can become emboldened\, supported\, and empowered to lead the joyful and productive life you deserve. With improved and proper support\, families can know and experience the freedom and love found in an abuse-free home. Children grow up with positive role models\, and both adults and children lead more productive\, happy\, and mentally healthy lives. \nThe day is an opportunity to say “No to abuse\, violence\, and ridicule! And begin saying\, “Yes\, to kindness!  And yes\, to sharing my voice! Yes\, I am worth it and my life matters. Kindness rules!”

SUMMARY:National Cheesecake Day
DESCRIPTION:NATIONAL CHEESECAKE DAY | JULY 30\nNational Cheesecake Day on July 30th offers a slice of one of America’s favorite desserts. Order up a cheesecake with your favorite topping. Get it delivered or make it at home. \n#NationalCheesecakeDay\nThis smooth dessert hits the spot when the end of the meal rolls around. While most cakes have a crumb\, cheesecake’s texture is nothing like cake. Indeed\, its creamy\, thick pudding-like character comes from the soft cheese used as the main ingredient. Depending on the recipe\, either cream cheese or cottage cheese is used. When the cheese is mixed with sugar\, eggs\, and other ingredients\, the batter is added to a crust. \nE53: Chef Chris Bonacci\, Food trends\, easy recipes & meal ideas to help you cook smarter for the Holidays \n \nWhen making cheesecake\, one of the most common crusts used is a graham cracker crust. Other options include a cookie crust\, pastry or sponge cake. However\, some cheesecakes are crustless. Recipes vary and cheesecakes may be prepared baked or unbaked. \nWhen faced with choosing a cheesecake flavor\, don’t panic. While the options may seem overwhelming\, bakers solved this problem. They offer a variety of flavors in one cake. So\, take one home and try each one. Since cheesecakes do come in a wide variety\, consider your tastes. If you prefer summer fruits and berries\, cheesecakes have you covered. Tropical options hit the spot\, too. For coffee lovers\, bakers provide a rich selection. And don’t forget delicious chocolate and nutty flavors. Each cheesecake may be served with fresh fruit\, a sauce\, whipped cream or plain.

SUMMARY:National Sister Day
DESCRIPTION:National Sisters Day on the first Sunday in August celebrates the unique bond between sisters. This particular set of siblings embrace moments that make them laugh and cringe. While they don’t always agree\, sisters have each other’s backs. \n#NationalSistersDay\nAll siblings have the odd argument here and there\, but deep down there’s little way around the natural connection between siblings. Even those who don’t have a natural sister sibling know the bonds of sisterhood. Those who forge a relationship with their spouse’s sisters understand. Also\, women who support each other through difficult times form a sisterhood. \nCelebrating National Sister Day on this Sunday \n \nA sister is like yourself in a different movie\,\na movie that stars you in a different life. ~ Deborah Tannen \nNo two sisters are alike. From love interests to cars\, sisters will disagree. And food\, cleaning\, and children require interventions. However\, we rely on each other while privately envying a sister’s style\, ability or grace. A sister understands when no one else does\, sometimes when even you don’t. So\, sister time provides vital healing. \nWhether your sisters harrassed you from day one or found you later in life\, this day brings you back together. Cherish the memories and make plans to create new ones. Reconnect or patch up any misunderstandings. Sisters are forever.

SUMMARY:International Left Handers Day
DESCRIPTION:International Left Handers Day on August 13th recognizes all those individuals who have mastered using their left hand in a right-handed world. We take our hats off to you – left-handed! \n#LeftHandersDay\nApproximately 10% of the population are southpaws. Scientists don’t know why a person develops left-handedness. But it’s more likely a child will be left-handed if one parent is a lefty\, too. Parents of left-handed children used to force them to use their right hands. In the eyes of right-handers\, the predominant use of the left hand seemed evil. Parents feared their communities would shun their children. While we accept left-handedness more readily than days gone by\, its occurrence hasn’t increased. \nFamous Cartoonist Joe Wos\, founder of mazetoons\, states that his favorite day to celebrate is International Left Handers Day\, being a lefty himself. \nCelebrating International Left Handers Day this August\nFamous Lefties\nMany lefties seek to blend in because they will stand out soon enough. Their unique quality makes them feel awkward. They bump elbows or seem like a klutz. However\, in a world designed for the right-handed\, those who are other dominant adapt quite well. For example\, eight United States presidents were left-handed\, including Ronald Reagan\, George H.W. Bush\, Bill Clinton\, and Barack Obama. Would the Sistine Chapel and the Mona Lisa stand the test of time if Michaelangelo and Leonardo de Vinci had been right-handed? \nUncommon Individual\nLeft Handers Day recognizes the uncommon individual who throws\, catches\, writes\, and uses a fork with their left hand. They view the world just a little differently\, too. At a restaurant\, they seek out the seat that will place their dominant elbow on the outside of the booth. Right-handed athletes groan a bit when the southpaw shows up as an opponent on the roster. They present a challenge right-handers aren’t always sure how to handle due to lack of practice. And yet\, lefties square off against righties all the time. \n\nDon’t be shy on Left-Handers Day. Show the world how brilliant and unique you are!

SUMMARY:National NonProfit Day
DESCRIPTION:On August 17th\, National Nonprofit Day (NND) recognizes the goals and positive impacts nonprofits have on communities and the world. \n#NationalNonprofitDay\nSomewhere a volunteer reads to school children. At the same time\, a patient receives steady medication. A lawyer provides legal services for low-income individuals. A lost soul’s life is remembered with dignity\, thanks to a nonprofit funeral home. Elsewhere\, a first-time homebuyer moves into his own home. NND reminds us that each of these scenes is possible thanks to the nonprofit sector. It’s the result of the work performed by capable people and organizations. \nJeffrey’s Journey Through COVID-19 \n \nThrough nonprofits\, awareness\, research\, and aid reach the people who need it most. Nonprofits also generate tremendous benefits to their surrounding communities and the broader world. \nFor example\, following the recent U.S. recession in 2012\, the nonprofit sector provided 5.4% of the nation’s entire GDP (gross domestic product)\, or $887.3 billion. Non-profits continuously employing nurses\, web developers\, lawyers\, computer engineers\, and more (sources: John Hopkins and Tactical Philanthropy Advisors reports).

SUMMARY:Set a Good Example Day
DESCRIPTION:When we observe kindness in others\, we are often inspired to offer kindness ourselves. Someone set a good example for us to follow\, and we must continue those good examples for others in our lives. National Set A Good Example Day on February 26th encourages us to set a good example that inspires others. \n\n\n \n#SetAGoodExampleDay\nEveryone influences others. The influence could be positive or negative. Even from a young age\, we experience good and bad behavior. Parents can positively influence their children at an early age. Additionally\, many others\, such as our extended families\, educators\, mentors\, community leaders\, and even organizations\, can positively influence us in many ways. Some of the ways we can easily set a good example include: \n\nDemonstrating kindness.\nBeing compassionate.\nActing with fairness.\nPracticing tolerance.\nBeing just.\nTreating others with respect.\n\nThese good examples reflect a person’s values and positively affect them and others. Setting a good example can be applied in every setting\, including home\, school\, work\, and in the community at large. \nSet A Good Example Day encourages individuals of any age and from any background to contribute to the well being of others. A simple act of kindness\, consideration\, or good conduct enhances the person and the whole community. \n\n\n \nHOW TO OBSERVE SET A GOOD EXAMPLE DAY\nNational Set a Good Example Day encourages everyone to demonstrate thoughtfulness\, courtesy\, graciousness\, and common sense values and virtues in their daily lives. \nGet caught helping another person. Wear an attitude of respect for other human beings. Develop the tools in yourself to be efficient\, productive\, and responsible\, and let others see you using these tools. You can also: \n\nCelebrate others who set good examples. Let them know how their leadership impacts your life.\nBe a good example. Demonstrate positive virtues every day so others can benefit. They will be more likely to set a good example themselves.\nRecognize good examples at work\, home\, school\, and in your community.\nShare the good examples you find valuable in your life.\n\nFollow the conversation and learn more by using #SetAGoodExampleDay on social media. \nSocial Link

SUMMARY:World Spay Day
DESCRIPTION:World Spay Day annually aims to decrease stray pet populations by increasing awareness of the importance of spaying and neutering programs. Around the world\, a variety of effective programs reduce stray populations. These programs target both strays in neighborhoods and in shelters. \n\n\n \n#WorldSpayDay\nThrough education\, spay and neuter programs in shelters raise awareness prior to the adoption of cats and dogs. In neighborhood programs\, spay and neuter programs effectively reduce stray populations over the long term with the help of the community. These types of programs are especially effective where feral cat populations exist. Since feral cats cannot be domesticated\, spaying and neutering in the communities where they live to offer the most humane way to reduce the population. \nOther programs may be offered through veterinarian clinics and communities\, too. The observance offers an opportunity for programs to highlight the benefits of spaying and neutering and increase support for their individual programs. \n\n\n \nHOW TO OBSERVE WORLD SPAY DAY\n\nSupport a spay and neuter program in your area.\nHost a fundraiser or approach your community leaders to create a program in your town.\nLearn more about the importance of spaying and neutering.\nAsk your veterinarian questions or volunteer at your local shelter.\nUse #SpayDayUSA to post on social media.\n\nWORLD SPAY DAY HISTORY\nDoris Day Animal League founded Spay Day USA in 1994 to bring attention to the pet overpopulation problem in the United States and encourage animal population control by neutering pets. The movement later spread globally and is now known as World Spay Day. \nSource Link

SUMMARY:National Tooth Fairy Day
DESCRIPTION:February 28th\, National Tooth Fairy Day\, encourages us to take a look back on the history of one of dental care’s little helpers. It’s one way our children develop good dental hygiene. \n#NationalToothFairyDay\nLike some of the fantastic creations who oversee children\, the tooth fairy is a relative newcomer to the world of childhood fantasies. \n\n\n \n1920s\nIn the mid-1920s\, fairies were used for all sorts of health education\, from bath fairies to fresh air fairies as a way to get kids to remember to eat their vegetables\, wash behind their ears and get a good night’s rest. Like toothpaste today advertises fruity flavors and sparkles to get kids excited to brush their teeth\, in 1925\, it was probably quite a bit more difficult considering the pastes were mostly peroxide and baking soda. One advertisement was for a Fairy Wand Tooth Whitener. This product promised to brush away cigarette and coffee stains. The ad was aimed at both children and adults\, we hope! \nThen in 1927\, Esther Watkins Arnold printed an eight-page playlet for children called The Tooth Fairy. The same year Sir Arthur Conan Doyle “proved” his claim that fairies and gnomes are real and “verified” with pictures of two little girls surrounded by fairies. The world was ripe with imagination and primed to have a tooth fairy to come collect the lost teeth of little boys and girls and leave a coin or two behind. \nArnold’s play began to be performed in schools the following year\, and the tooth fairy has been slipping into homes ever since. She (or he) started leaving nickels and dimes under the pillows of sleeping children. Over the years\, there have been variations on the theme. \n1942\nIn 1942\, in an article written by columnist Bob Balfe in the Palm Beach Post\, his children received War Stamps to put in their books when they lost a tooth. It was a popular alternative during a time when giving to the war effort was a motivating factor. \nToday\nToday\, the tooth fairy jingles less often. The average payout for a lost tooth ranges from $3 to $4 and can go even higher if Dad is on duty or if the tooth is lost late at night with no time for a parent to run to an ATM. \n\n\n \nHOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL TOOTH FAIRY DAY\n\nMake an appointment for your next cleaning.\nAsk your parents if they still have the first tooth you lost.\nBe a tooth fairy!\nVolunteer or give to dental organizations. Many of them provide free or low-cost dental care to those who cannot afford it. Others support dental students in their educational journey. These organizations are a vital part of our communities and states. You can also give a shout-out to your favorite organization. Be a tooth fairy to those near you. We found a few that might interest you.\n\nAmerica’s Dentists Care Foundation\, Missions of Mercy \nNational Children’s Oral Health Foundation\, also known as America’s Toothfairy\n\n\nDownload this coloring page to celebrate!\nUse #NationalToothFairyDay to post on social media\n\nSource link

SUMMARY:Peanut Butter Lovers Day
DESCRIPTION:March 1st was made for National Peanut Butter Lover’s Day. Ah\, peanut butter. One day is not enough to recognize peanut butter. The goober has been paired\, blended\, and added with many tasty results! \n#PeanutButterLoversDay\nThe creamy\, nutty goodness known as peanut butter is so amazingly delicious that when we pair it with creamy and dreamy chocolate\, we almost have bacon. \nWe digress. Another great love is peanut butter ice cream. Blended smooth with a few chopped nuts and a drizzle of peanut butter syrup is a peanut butter lover’s dream come true. \nThe slang term for peanut butter in World War II was “monkey butter.” \nA monkey visited the lab at Kellogg’s one day and dipped his banana in a jar of peanut butter\, and he’s been ape over the combination ever since. Actually\, banana slices with peanut butter sandwiched between them and dipped in chocolate make a terrific snack. \nPeanut butter and bananas were a combination even fit for a king. Elvis Presley loved a peanut butter and banana sandwich or two. \n\n\n \nThen peanut butter got its passport and traveled the world. It paired up with some shrimp and got a little saucy. The result is a Thai peanut butter shrimp that is so yummy it had to be true love. \nThings heated up a little when peanut butter jumped into the stew pot to sweat it out with a spring chick seasoned with some cayenne. African Chicken Peanut Stew tastes better than ever. \nOne of the best times peanut butter has ever had is with marshmallows. Fudge enjoys a satisfying dessert status to be envied. \nFun Peanut Butter Facts:\n\nIt takes about 540 peanuts to make a 12-ounce jar of peanut butter.\nC.H. Sumner first sold peanut butter in the United States at the Universal Exposition in St. Louis.  He sold $705.11 of the “new treat” at his concession stand.\nReese’s Peanut Butter Cup was introduced to America in 1928.\nThe oldest operating manufacturer and seller of peanut butter has been selling peanut butter since 1898.\nMr. Ed TV’s used peanut butter as a secret ingredient to get a horse talking.\nAmericans spend almost $800 million a year on peanut butter.\nJanuary 24th is National Peanut Butter Day.\n\n\n\n \nHOW TO OBSERVE PEANUT BUTTER LOVER’S DAY\n\nFall in love with some peanut butter or a new peanut butter combination.\nTry peanut butter and apples.\nOr maybe fried peaches and peanut butter.\nTry one of the recipes above.\nOr how about peanut butter and bacon.\nShare your favorite peanut butter combos.\nUse #PeanutButterLoversDay to post on social media.\n\nSource Link

SUMMARY:National Read Across America Day
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, National Read Across America Day is celebrated on March 2nd\, the birthday of Dr. Seuss. The annual event is part of Read Across America\, an initiative on reading created by the National Education Association. Since the event is designed to encourage reading in children and is fostered through the schools\, when March 2nd lands on a weekend\, the day is observed on the closest school day. \n\n\n \n#ReadAcrossAmericaDay #DrSeussDay\nThis motivational and awareness day calls all children and youth in every community across the United States to celebrate reading. It encourages them to read where ever they are. Great ways to inspire reading in children include: \n\nKeep books everywhere you spend time.

Knowing how to use the library and learning the benefits of a library fosters a love of reading as well as genuine respect for the services libraries provide.\nGet caught reading. Children imitate what they see the adults around them do. Whether they see you read a magazine\, newspaper\, or novel\, let them know reading is the cool thing to do.\nRead to your children. No matter their age\, reading aloud strengthens their vocabulary and language skills. It also opens up opportunities for discussion.\nHave your children read to you\, too. You never know what you might learn!\n\n\n\n \nHOW TO OBSERVE READ ACROSS AMERICA DAY\n\nPick up an interesting book and read it.\nMore importantly\, read with a child.\nJoin your library.\nAttend a book reading.\nRead a book you’ve been meaning to read.\nRead a book you’ve read before. You may discover that it has a new meaning to you since you last read it.\nTry reading aloud\, even if it is just to yourself. It will make great practice for reading to children. (Hint\, hint.)\nVisit the National Day Calendar® Classroom for ways to incorporate National Read Across America Day into your classroom.\nUse #ReadAcrossAmericaDay or #DrSeussDay to post on social media.\n\nFor adults\, here are a couple of recommendations for books: \n\nThe 3-Minute Rule by Brant Pinvidic.\nOpen Secrets of Success: The Gary Tharaldson Story by Patrick McCloskey\n\nSource Link

SUMMARY:National I Want You to be Happy Day
DESCRIPTION:National I Want You to be Happy Day on March 3rd encourages us to do something that makes others happy. It also asks us to see others’ happiness from their point of view. Putting a smile on someone’s face tends to put one on ours\, too. \n\n\n \n\nHappiness is the highest form of health. ~ Dalai Lama\n\nGenuine happiness takes effort. While we’re not individually responsible for others’ happiness\, we do play a role in spreading joy and good cheer. One way to do that is to see happiness from another person’s perspective. Happiness doesn’t fit a mold. Everything from being a morning person or a night owl\, a favorite season and seafood can make or break a person’s general idea of happiness. A person’s overall journey through life gives them a unique outlook on happiness\, too. \nBeing happy may merely be about quality\, not quantity. \n\n\n \nHOW TO OBSERVE #IWantYouToBeHappyDay\n\nStart the day with a happy thought and carry it with you throughout the day.\nMake someone smile. Give a flower or tell a silly knock-knock joke there.\nBuy the person’s coffee standing in line behind you.\nRemind your kids how much you love them.\nLeave a sticky note for a co-worker telling them to have a spectacular day\, a happy day.\nDraw a happy face in the snow for a stranger to come across later. Give someone a hug.\nConsider someone else’s happiness from their point of view.\nUse #IWantYouToBeHappyDay to post on social media.\n\nSource Link

SUMMARY:National Hug a G.I. Day
DESCRIPTION:As the only day on the calendar that is mnemonically a military command\, March 4th recognizes National Hug a G.I. Day. \nGather around your servicemen and women to give them a hug. It’s simply a way to show your support. With either a pat on the back or a hearty handshake\, be sure to give both past and present G.I.s your appreciation. While G.I.s refer to Army personnel\, the day encompasses all those who have served in the military. So\, hug those Jarheads\, Wingnuts\, Squids\, and Coasties\, too! \nToday the term G.I. is fairly commonly known to refer to those serving in the Armed Forces of the United States of America. How that came to be is a little less military protocol and more the American story. \n\n\n \nIt seems at the turn of the 20th century\, G.I. was a notation used in supply records for galvanized iron. It was later used during World War I for German artillery shells made from galvanized iron. \nSometime during the war\, soldiers started interpreting the initials as “Government Issue” or “General Issue”. By the time World War II came around it was starting to gain meaning as the generic enlisted man. \nNot surprisingly\, sarcastic usage among many servicemen was common\, feeling they were just like any other Government Issued supply being mass-produced for Uncle Sam. \nAbout that time G.I. Joe was born. His creator\, comic strip artist\, and former Army Sergeant David Breger\, issued his first G.I. Joe cartoon series in Yank magazine on June 17\, 1942. \nThe term G.I. became more permanently etched in the American language when in 1944 President Franklin Roosevelt signed the bill that became known as the G.I. Bill; Servicemen’s Readjustment Act. \nAnd then there was no going back when Hasbro trademarked their G.I. Joe as an action figure in 1964. \n\n\n \nHOW TO OBSERVE #HugAGIDay\n\nFind a G.I. you know and give them a hug.\nIs your G.I. too far away to give a hug? Send him or her a virtual one via text\, e-mail\, phone or even snail mail.\nShow your support for the military.\nUse #HugAGIDay to post on social media.\n\nSource Link

SUMMARY:National Sons Day
DESCRIPTION:Every year on March 4th\, National Sons Day honors the sons of the world and those who raise them. The day also takes a look at a son’s role and his relationship with those around him. \nAround the world\, slightly more sons are born than daughters. Both bring joy to families\, though. Our rambunctious sons grow into adult men and forge their own independence in the world. Some are soft-spoken and gentle. Others with a spark of curiosity fill every hour with questions\, some unanswerable. \nParents and family members strive to mold them into a person better than we are. Sons\, like many children\, test the boundaries until one day\, they stand before us\, grown. National Sons Day encourages parents to be role models and provide the boundaries sons need. Celebrate their successes while guiding them through their failures. Give them a foundation of skills that they will rely on for a lifetime and pass on to their sons. \nEach day as a son and the parent of one is a treasure. Boys need us to model responsibility\, hard work\, and integrity. As they work and learn beside us\, those qualities will be instilled in them. The day reminds us of the value our sons bring to our lives and others. \n\n\n \nHOW TO OBSERVE #NationalSonsDay\n\nConsider all the things you want your son to know and be when he’s an adult.\nTake the day to teach your son something you think is important for him to know. Change a tire or balance the checkbook. The small tasks\, the mundane ones are the ones that get in the way when we don’t know how to do them. Bond over the experience by letting him know you teach him these skills to clear a path for the bigger events in his life.\nJoin an organization for mentoring boys without male role models.\nFind a role model that fits the interests of your son.\nTeach your son something your father taught you.\nOffer to give a skills class at a school.\nMake the day unique by taking a photograph with all the sons together and share on social media using #NationalSonsDay.\n\n\n\n \nNATIONAL SONS DAY HISTORY\nIn 2018\, Jill Nico created National Sons Day celebrating the importance and significance of sons and those who raise them. While there’s no single reason for selecting March 4th\, the founder explains spring seemed ideal\, and the date resounds with momentum when spoken. Additionally\, many sons enjoy spring sports\, and it’s an excellent time to spend time outdoors. Visit the Facebook page to join in the celebration. \nIn the late 1990s\, an effort to create National Sons Day began as a counterpart to National Take Your Daughters to Work Day. By 1998\, the group called National Sons Day created National Take Your Sons to Work Day. In later years\, the separate observances joined forces. \nSource Link

Recognition and appreciation are known as some of the key motivational factors in the workplace. An employer may show their gratitude for an employee’s efforts and contributions to the company’s goals in a variety of ways. Many organizations include employee appreciation as part of their business structure. It shows how much they value their employees and keeps morale high in the workplace. Employers who express employee appreciation tend to increase employee job satisfaction as well. \nWhile showing your employees how much you appreciate them\, ask them how they like to be thanked. Employers might find a consensus of three or four ways that might best serve your industry overall. It might also save some head-scratching too. Did you go over budget on an ice cream sundae bar last year when your team prefers discounted services to the local chiropractor? In the spirit of enthusiasm\, consider the nature of your business and how your employees celebrate\, too. \nWhile employees’ personalities differ\, most employees are goal-driven people. Earning an award\, a thank you\, or recognition motivates them to reach even higher goals to the benefit of any business or organization. \n\n\n \nHOW TO OBSERVE #EmployeeAppreciationDay\n\nShow your employees that you value them.\n\nBe Flexible – Flexibility goes a long way in this virtual reality world. If possible within your industry\, allowing a little flexibility can reap huge benefits when you need last-minute work done.\nA Thank You Note – Believe it or not\, many employees appreciate a heartfelt\, hand-written thank you more than a slap on the back or a last-minute e-mail.\nTeam Effort Celebration – If the team pulled together and made it happen\, reward them with an office pizza party\, casual dress day\, or even close the office early so they can spend some well-earned time with family.\nGet Caught – Ensure the employee hears you telling someone else you thought they did a great job. Give the employee the credit they deserve. If they’re the best at something\, make sure a client knows it. It also sets the expectation of repeat performance.\nCreate a Culture of Encouragement – Employees who expand their horizons bring new skills to your workforce and will encourage others to do so\, too. Praise their achievements and encourage others to pursue their goals.\n\n\nShare your favorite way to be appreciated. Answer those employee surveys so your employer can take action to improve the workplace.\nIf you have employees\, be sure to show them some appreciation and use #EmployeeAppreciationDay to post on social media.\n\nSource Link

SUMMARY:Dress in Blue Day
DESCRIPTION:In an effort to knock out one of the top cancers causing death\, National Dress in Blue Day on the first Friday in March encourages everyone to learn about the causes of colon cancer and raise awareness by wearing blue. \n\n\n \n#DressInBlueDay\nMuch like the pink ribbon represents those lost to breast cancer\, a blue star honors the memory of those lost to colon cancer. Continuing the blue theme on Dress in Blue Day\, awareness efforts provide support through fundraising for screening\, research\, and awareness education. \n\nScreenings are vital. Colon cancer often has no symptoms until its advanced stages placing its victims at higher risk if they wait until symptoms appear. Screenings are recommended beginning at age 50 and younger if you are at high risk.\n\nHOW TO OBSERVE DRESS IN BLUE DAY\n\nCheck your closet and wear something blue.\nFind out more about your risk factors.\nSchedule a screening if you are due.\nDonate.\nUse #DressInBlueDay to share on social media.\n\n\n\n \nNATIONAL DRESS IN BLUE DAY HISTORY\nIn 2006\, Anita Mitchell\, a stage IV colon cancer survivor\, founder of Colon Cancer Stars helped organize a day in her child’s school to raise colon cancer awareness called Wear Blue for Colon Cancer Awareness Day after losing her father and a friend to the disease. National Dress in Blue Day’s success as a local school program encouraged Anita to bring the idea to the Colon Cancer Alliance in 2009. From there\, this outstanding fundraiser developed into a nationwide program. \nSource Link

SUMMARY:International Womens Day
DESCRIPTION:International Women’s Day on March 8th each year celebrates the social\, economic\, and political achievements of women around the world. The day also brings international awareness to gender parity. According to the World Economic Forum\, global gender equality is estimated to be achieved by 2133. \n\n\n \n#InternationalWomensDay \nGender equality is equal access to the same rights and opportunities regardless of gender. These rights and opportunities include: \n\nhealthcare\neducation\nemployment / economic gain\npay\nprotection under the law\nright to vote\nfree from violence\n\nStriving for Change\nHolding Political Office\nJust over 100 years ago\, only .2 % of the United States Congress consisted of women. Actually\, the 65th Congress was comprised of a single woman. In 1916\, Montana elected Republican Jeannette Rankin as the first Congresswoman to hold a federal office. Fast forward to the year 2020 and women hold 23.7% of the U.S. Congressional seats. While that might seem like progress\, according to United Nations statistics\, the U.S. percentage matches exactly the worldwide average for women in political office. \nEducation\nIn many parts of the world\, women are less likely to own land\, a business\, or attend school. Education alone is a powerful tool leading to financial independence for women. Their children reap the rewards\, often for generations to come. Additionally\, when the women of a community prosper\, so does the community. Educated women and girls are more likely to educate their offspring. They also have a better understanding of healthcare and understand their rights. \nEqual Pay\nAccording to the United Nations\, more than half of the world’s poorest people are women. International Women’s Day strives to bring economic power to women who are not allowed to work for pay or work for low wages. And despite strides in industrialized countries\, there is still work to do there\, too. \n\n\n \nHOW TO OBSERVE INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY \nAround the world\, organizations\, communities\, and individuals organize events focused on the mission of gender parity\, celebrating the achievements of women worldwide and education. \n\nAttend a lecture\, seminar\, or festival.\nOrganize an event.\nSpeak or perform at a local fundraiser.\nParticipate in a march for women’s equal rights.\nLearn about the women who paved the way for many of the rights and freedoms we have today.\nBecome involved in your local\, state\, or national political system.\nInvite others to join you\, including other women\, sons\, brothers\, sisters\, and daughters.\nShare your job skills at a local career fair.\nCelebrate all month long. It is also National Women’s History Month.\nUse #InternationalWomensDay when posting on Social Media.\n\nINTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY HISTORY\nInternational Women’s Day origins can be traced back to the early 1900s when women became more politically active. They took an invested and vocal role in steering their course toward voting rights\, fair pay\, improved working conditions\, and representation under the law. \nSource Link

SUMMARY:National Funeral Director and Mortician Recognition Day
DESCRIPTION:National Funeral Director and Mortician Recognition Day on March 11th reminds us to thank the professionals who consider every need during the most challenging time in our lives. \n\n\n \n#FuneralDirectorMorticianRecognition\nFuneral directors and morticians dedicate their lives to helping us celebrate our loved ones. They bring together the memories and achievements of someone we’ve lost to death. With professional guidance and compassion\, funeral directors help with every step of planning a funeral. While the news settles\, these experts understand how emotional and stressful the process is. \nFuneral directors come equipped with a perfect skillset. Their compassion and excellent organizational skills guide us through a celebration of someone we loved dearly. In addition\, being a funeral director means being a good listener\, a skill many of them have in spades. \nThey work hard to attain their skills\, too. Both morticians and funeral directors study mortuary science\, attaining an associate degree or higher. A 1-3 year apprenticeship follows their degree. Funeral directors must be licensed. \n\n\n \nBeyond their training\, funeral directors know how to put people at ease. When we grieve\, the pain of loss takes on many different faces. Funeral directors act as guides and help to fulfill the wishes of our loved ones. When the pain and suffering ends\, the mortician and funeral director provide a sense of peace and unity at a time that can seem chaotic even at its best.HOW TO OBSERVE FUNERAL DIRECTOR AND MORTICIAN RECOGNITION\nThank a funeral director or a mortician for their time and care. Show your appreciation of their services and recognize the work they do in one of several ways: \nSend a thank you card letting them know how much their services mean to you.\nRecommend their services to others.\nPreplan your funeral. Put your funeral in the hands of the business that has proven to you they can care for your family.\nShare your experiences as a funeral director or mortician.\nUse #FuneralDirectorMorticianRecognition to share on social media. \nNATIONAL FUNERAL DIRECTOR & MORTICIAN RECOGNITION DAY HISTORY\nIn 2008\, Congress passed a resolution designating March 11th as National Funeral Director and Mortician Recognition Day.

SUMMARY:National Johnny Appleseed Day
DESCRIPTION:March 11th – On National Johnny Appleseed Day\, we remember a man who made apple (and pear) trees bloom across the nation. The day celebrates a kindly legend who lived by sage teachings and labored to bring the shade of fruit trees across much of the United States. \n\n\n \n#NationalJohnnyAppleseedDay\nJohn Chapman\nHe was born John Chapman on September 26\, 1774\, in Leominster\, Massachusetts\, to Nathaniel and Elizabeth Simons Chapman. Not much is known about his early life other than his mother died when he was two. His father packed up Johnny and his sister (an infant brother had died the previous year) and moved to Springfield\, Massachusetts. His father served as a Minuteman and fought at Bunker Hill. \nThen in 1797\, Chapman shows up in northwestern Pennsylvania\, propagating his apple seeds. He worked his way steadily into the frontier of West Virginia\, Ohio\, and Indiana. Eventually\, Chapman became known as Johnny Appleseed and worked his way as far west as Illinois and Iowa and as far north as Michigan and Wisconsin. \nIn his wake\, he left orchards and the teachings of Emanuel Swedenborg\, a Swedish spiritual leader. Appleseed would buy his books with whatever payment he might receive for his endeavors. In turn\, Johnny would give the books away as he traveled and planted. \n\n\n \nMostly\, though\, he planted his seeds and seedlings for free along with his wisdom\, his broad-brimmed pasteboard hat keeping the sun from his eyes as he went. Often shoeless\, he traveled mostly by foot and sometimes by horseback or canoe. His appearance was nearly as noteworthy as his accomplishments\, but so was his kindness. Farmers and frontier folk always found a place at the table if Johnny Appleseed came visiting. \nThere are many stories told that the man would travel many miles to nurse an ailing orchard when word would reach him of its poor condition. Bringing the trees back to health would be his chief endeavor while dispersing wisdom\, care\, and kindness as he did. \nLandmarks\nAcross the Midwest\, landmarks pepper the countryside honoring the man that brought fruit to the frontier. Warren County\, Pennsylvania\, lays claim to Johnny Appleseed’s first tree nursery. \nMansfield\, Ohio\, honors the man with a monument in South Park. The last known Chapman tree still lives! In rural Ashland County\, Ohio\, the tree struggles to survive\, but half of it still manages to bloom in the spring. \nIn his hometown of Springfield\, Massachusetts\, there is an entire park named after the man who nurtured the land and made apple trees bloom across a young nation. \nTwo dates celebrate Johnny Appleseed Day\, either March 11th or September 26th. The September date is Appleseed’s acknowledged birth date. However\, many people across the country prefer the March date due to the planting season. While some vagueness surrounds Appleseed’s death and burial\, he became ill in early March and passed soon after. In Fort Wayne\, Indiana\, in Johnny Appleseed Park\, a grave marks the spot where the legendary sower of apple seeds rests. \n\n\n \nHOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL JOHNNY APPLESEED DAY\n\nBegin by reading any one of the many books written about Johnny Appleseed. Some of them are mere folklore but others delve into the man himself.\nVisiting some of the landmarks where Johnny Appleseed once lived and worked.\nPlant a fruit tree. Visit your local orchard to learn more about the trees that live and thrive in your area. Sometimes you will need two in order for them to bear fruit\, so be sure you ask.\nEat your favorite tree fruit. It doesn’t have to be an apple. Johnny Appleseed planted several varieties of fruit trees. While you can find apples in March\, they aren’t in season. Tree fruits that are in season include avocados\, kumquats\, lemons\, limes\, oranges\, mandarins\, and pomelos. Only a few of these grow in the United States. Do you know which ones?\nEducators and families\, visit the National Day Calendar Classroom for projects and ideas to help you Celebrate Every Day!\nEnjoy an apple and use #JohnnyAppleseedDay to post on social media.

SUMMARY:National Worship of Tools Day
DESCRIPTION:March 11th is National Worship of Tools Day. This is a day to go out into the garage\, the tool shed\, the storage closet\, or wherever it is you keep your tools.  You can clean them\, reorganize them\, make something new with them or maybe go to the store and buy a new one. \n\n\n \n#NationalWorshipOfToolsDay\nIt is hard to imagine the world without tools as they are a part of our daily lives. From the hammer\, the screwdriver\, and the wrench to the most sophisticated tools\, they are necessary. Upon their use\, they sometimes get rusty and need to be shined\, they get dirty and need to be cleaned\, they get dull and need to be sharpened. \nTool enthusiasts know a good tool when they see one. Often\, they have a favorite brand or style. And they never seem to have enough\, either. Collecting them is nearly as important as using them. Another common discussion about tools is the borrowing of tools. From one neighbor to another\, tools have been loaned\, borrowed\, and returned numerous times. The funny papers and the sitcoms humorously remind us of this from time to time. And sometimes\, so do our neighbors. \n\n\n \nHOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL WORSHIP OF TOOLS DAY\n\nSpend some extra time shining up your tools or fixing them if they needed it. Taking care of your tools helps them last longer\, which is a benefit for you.\nGo shopping for new tools. You know there must be one you don’t have.\nGet to work on your latest project and put your tools to work!\nUse #WorshipOfToolsDay to post on social media.
