National Bike to Work Day – third Friday of month
National Bike to Work Day is a t opportunity to get exercise, and to save gas. Especially when gas is over $4 a gallon.
Here is what National Bike to Work Day is all about and this information is straight from the League of American Bicyclists.
National Bike Month was started by the League in 1956 and the event was timed to coincide with the arrival of warmer weather. National Bike to Work Day has inspired countless bike rides, safety inspections, commuter challenges, ribbon-cuttings, “share the road” promotions, and other varied celebrations of bicycling in communities across the Nation.
One of the most popular activities in Bike Month, is encouraging people to bicycle to work and forsake their cars for just one day. Bike to Work Week is the third week in May, and the third Friday in May is designated as National Bike to Work Day.
The League was founded as the League of American Wheelmen in 1880. Bicyclists, known then as “wheelmen”, were challenged by rutted roads of gravel and dirt, and faced antagonism from horsemen, wagon drivers, and pedestrians.

National Endangered Species Day – third Friday in May
National Endangered Species Day is a holiday to raise awareness about the many Animals that are on the endangered species list. It is a time of education and action and there are many ways we can help to keep Animals from becoming extinct. On this holiday the Endangered Species Coalition, the National Wildlife Foundation, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Organization and may other conservation groups offer educational programs, seminars and events, to help us to appreciate the plight of so many Animals that are on the Endangered Species List.
The Animal kingdom is a very diverse list of creatures that roam the land, Sea and air of our planet and it includes land Animals, Birds, Fish and Sea Creatures as well as Insects. However, the list of God’s creatures is finite, and the number is decreasing. We all know that the Dinosaur and the Wooly Mammoth have come and gone millions of years ago. In more recent times, we have lost the American Buffalo, Barbary Lion, Great Auk, the Carrier Pigeon, Blue Whale and a large range of creatures of all kinds. Much of the lost species are due to the encroachment of humans on animal habitats, as well as environmental destruction and alteration of the animal’s environment.
The endangered species list is filled with animals of all kinds and it includes different types of Elephants, Rhinos, Orangutans, Gorillas and Leopards. You will find both the Giant and Red Pandas on this list. The list includes Dolphins, Turtles, Penguins and Whales. Plenty of Birds, Fish, and Insects have made the endangered species list as well.
Don’t you think it’s time to stop the disappearance of so many Animals? On National Endangered Species Day, Wildlife and Conservation Organizations hold educational programs and seminars to teach and inform people about the plight of these animals. They teach us about the need to do our part, to help maintain and protect their habitat. You can contribute to one of \ organizations, whose goal is to protect these Animals and their habitats. You can research ways to Go Green, and keep from doing things that harm the environment. After all environmental health is good for the animal kingdom. If you are one of the fortunate few, you might find an opportunity to work directly with efforts to save animals on the Endangered Species List.
History and Origin of National Endangered Species Day:
The U.S. Congress proclaimed the first Endangered Species Day in 2006. The Endangered Species Coalition led the effort to get congress to pass the resolution.
Pick Strawberries Day is a tasty way to enjoy a late Spring day. If your mom or dad ever took you picking fresh Strawberries, then you have a wonderful childhood memory. That memory is what will draw you to enjoy today with your own kids. If you’ve never picked fresh Strawberries, you’ve missed out on the fun. Many of those Strawberries never make it out of the field they go straight into the pickers mouth.
For those who have picked Strawberries before, get out today and pick Strawberries and for those who have never picked Strawberries in the field, start a new tradition today!

Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
