Greetings Party People!

 

August is the only month that does not have its own official holiday so we have originated the annual Don’t Wait…Celebrate! Week which is the second full week of August.  This is the week that is devoted to , practicing the art of frequent and spontaneous celebration of those less-than-milestone occasions that often go unheralded.

 

Folks are encouraged to plan many situations where two or more people are gathered to pay tribute to an accomplishment, special occasion, or life’s cycle situation—with a small, often impromptu festivity.  These events can take place at work, school, home or out and about—for a person(s) in your home, work or outside life.

 

This year Don’t Wait…Celebrate! Week is August 11-17th and we encourage you to celebrate it in your own way—at work with your associates or at home with your friends, family or neighbors.
