Give A Little - It Means A Lot

This past Christmas holiday, some co-workers and I managed to give a little.  As it turns out (and of course, we knew it would) our small gesture meant a lot to the young women at Alternative For Girls.  It warms the heart to help those less fortunate.  This thank-you letter makes me smile.  Simply knowing that your contributions help someone along the way brings a sense of joy and fills the spirit with hope for tomorrow. 

I challenge any and everyone reading this to consider adopting a family or organization for the holiday season in 2012.

Many Blessings,

Tavares

Happy Friendship Day!

Friendship Day celebrations take place on the first Sunday of August every year. The tradition of dedicating a day in honor of friends began in US in 1935.

On this day people spend time with their friends and express love for them. Exchange of Friendship Day Gifts like flowers, cards and wrist bands is a popular tradition of this occasion.


FRIENDSHIP DAY QUOTES:

" Two may talk together under the same roof for many years, yet never really meet; and two others at first speech are old friends. " - Mary Catherwood

Send a message to a friend today.  Let them know just how much you appreciate them!

Happy Parents' Day

In the United States, Parents' Day is held on the fourth Sunday of every July. This was established in 1994 when President Bill Clinton signed a Congressional Resolution into law (36 U.S.C. § 135) for "recognizing, uplifting, and supporting the role of parents in the rearing of children (ParentsDay.com)." 

The establishment of Parents’ Day affords a wonderful opportunity for communities, organizations, churches, mosques, synagogues and temples to honor exemplary parents and to encourage families everywhere to invest in our most precious resource – our children. Among the most popular of these activities has been the recognition of outstanding couples as parental role models who have been honored as "Parents of the Year" at the national, state, local and faith community level.


ParentsDay.com encourages you to get involved in helping recognize outstanding parents worthy of this recognition by establishing a Parents' Day Selection Committee in your faith community or local area. Please also recommend such parents to your state's National Parents' Day Council affiliate or the ParentsDay.com national office for consideration to be selected "Parents of the Year" at the state or national level.
