May Day is Lei Day in Hawaii

A lei is a garland or necklace of flowers given as a token of welcome or farewell.  Since the creation of Lei Day in 1928, the motto has been:  ”Make a Lei, Wear a Lei, Give a Lei.”  Everyone gives the gift of lei to another, putting it around the receiver’s neck and accompanying it with a traditional kiss.

Schools throughout the islands stage pageants, crown their own kings and queens and create courts in celebration.  Competitions in both ancient and modern hula are held and entertainers give a concert or show for the locals. 

This year marks Hawaii’s 80th Lei Day celebration.  The theme of this year’s festival is kukui.  Get yours today!

Available in black, brown and marble.

Price:  $7.50 each

Mahalo to all who contributed to my coffee fund on Administrative Professionals Week. It is very much appreciated!

Administrative Professionals Week^®  ―Always observed annually during the last full week in April, standard Sunday through Saturday calendar week.

April 20-26, 2008

Administrative Professionals Day^®  ―Observed annually on the Wednesday of Administrative Professionals Week.

April 23, 2008

This annual event was originally organized in 1952 as “National Secretaries Week” by the National Secretaries Association (now known as the International Association of Administrative Professionals) in conjunction with public relations executive Harry Klemfuss and a consortium of office product manufacturers. It was established as an effort to recognize secretaries for their contributions in the workplace, and to attract people to secretarial/administrative careers.

In the year 2000, IAAP announced a name change for Professional Secretaries Week and Professional Secretaries Day. The names were changed to Administrative Professionals Week and Administrative Professionals Day to keep pace with changing job titles and expanding responsibilities of today’s administrative workforce.

Just Say No to Plastic Bags by Carolyn Sayre

The plastic bags you bring home from the supermarket probably end up in a landfill. Every year, more than 500 billion plastic bags are distributed, and less than 3% of those bags are recycled. They are typically made of polyethylene and can take up to 1,000 years to biodegrade in landfills that emit harmful greenhouse gases. Reducing your contribution to plastic-bag pollution is as simple as using a cloth bag (or one made of biodegradable plant-based materials) instead of wasting plastic ones. For your next trip to the grocery store, BYOB!
