A Tip of the Hat Goes to…
NATIONAL CAREGIVERS’ DAY recognizes those who are there at some of the toughest times. From the medical professionals to the family members who take on the task of caring for those who can’t take care of themselves we thank all of you from the bottom of our hearts. Please don’t forget to take care of yourselves as well.

What a great idea this is. NATIONAL NO ONE EATS ALONE DAY makes sure that everyone is included. Started back in 2012 in just a handful of schools to make sure no one felt left out – especially during lunch time – it has grown to more than 2,000 schools across the country. There are so many ways to approach people so let’s make sure everyone has a place
Family and Friends
Are you in the mood to make the world a better place today? DO A GROUCH A FAVOR DAY gives you that opportunity. You may come across someone having a bad day, or a bad life, and if you can give them a smile and a helping hand you just may turn their frown upside down. On the other hand, if you find that people are reaching out to you today – it may be that you are a little grouchy.

FISH FRY FRIDAY and NATIONAL TARTAR SAUCE DAY come together to bring us a delicious dinner for a good cause. All over, churches, VFWs, American Legions and Knight of Columbus Halls are hosting fish fries every Friday until Easter. They raise money for their organization, and we get to eat – that’s a good deal.
Let’s go a little nutty with NATIONAL ALMOND DAY. These tasty snacks are not only delicious but healthy. Along with a heart healthy diet, the almond definitely contributes to a steadier heartbeat. This nut is full of vitamin E, magnesium and fiber and can be enjoyed as part of a recipe or by themselves.
