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.

After more than a century of slavery and years of war\, it was official. All slaves were now freedmen. \nCelebrating Juneteenth

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 Friendship Day
DESCRIPTION:Friendships come in many forms\, and we begin developing them when we’re very young. Throughout our lives\, friendships and their meanings evolve.

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).
