National
Cherry Popsicle Day – Not any old popsicles mind you. Just the
cherry ones.
National
Dog Day – Established
in 2004, this is a day to recognize the fact that incredible numbers
of dogs need to be rescued either from a bad living environment or
from being on the streets trying to scrounge for food. Beyond that
there are all of the well loved family dogs and working dogs that
make people's lives easier or safer as well as the ones who simply
make us feel better. http://www.nationaldogday.com/
Women's Equality Day – On this day in 1920, the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution was passed and women were granted the right to vote. In 1971, Bella Abzug introduced legislation to Congress for Women's Equality Day. Since then, every year each president has proclaimed this celebration day. It is a day to recognize that women have been treated as second class citizens in the past but with the passage of the 19th Amendment, that has begun to change as we work toward the goal of complete equality.
To
celebrate today, go out and find a dog that needs to be rescued and
rescue it, possibly by adopting it if you can. Then you can share
some cherry popsicles with your female friends and family to
congratulate them for gaining the equality that they have achieved so
far. Discuss with them what they think still needs to be done before
everyone is equal.
