Awareness Spotlight shines on…
Today, at Noon on Cole’s Hill in Plymouth Mass., the NATIONAL DAY OF MOURNING will take place. Native Americans will gather to remember the injustice wrought on their people since the pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. They will honor their ancestors and remember the struggles of times before and struggles that still go on today. The United American Indians of New England have been sponsoring this event since 1970 and open it up to anyone who wants to attend. There is a march through the historic district of Plymouth followed by speeches. Though anyone can attend, only Native Americans are allowed to make the speeches.
Education and Information
NATIONAL BRAND DAY celebrates the entrepreneurial spirit and the identifying markers that go along with that. Much like the brands that cowboys used to mark cattle, a business brand is the symbol of that venture. Building a brand takes time, patience and persistence. If you are successful, it will pay off and, in my experience, hard work always pays off – one way or another.
On Today’s Menu…
FRENCH TOAST DAY could be breakfast or our dessert of the day. Dip your bread into the egg mixture and toss it on the griddle. One flip is all you need to make sure both sides are done and don’t forget to add the cinnamon. Top it off as you please and may I recommend bacon as a nice accompaniment to this ensemble.
