January 2009
Okay, okay, okay … I should have posted this last week as I’m sure a few of you missed Chocolate Covered Cherry Day on the 3rd. And I’m sorry, I will get the calendar up sooner next month.
My co-workers and I put together this handy calendar to remember the dates that are often overlooked. Forgive us if you discover a date is off. We went through 4 different websites and they didn’t all agree on the actual date. But, they were usually only off by a day, so we did the best we could.
