Just about every day is a special day
and this week is a special week
Yesterday, we celebrated a brand-new federal holiday, Juneteenth, (short for “June Nineteenth”), which marked the effective end of slavery in the United States.
And there are several other things to celebrate this week.
Selfie Day - Jun 21
Summer Begins - Jun 21
Summer Solstice - Jun 21
Onion Rings Day - Jun 22
Int'l Women in Engineering Day - Jun 23
