Special Days in March
March 1, 2020

I usually do a pretty straight
forward, “Welcome to Spring, here is how you can contribute” blog. This month I
am using the blog to answer a question that came through on my website: What “cause”
is March known for?”
Well, that is a long answer. There are dozens below to choose from. Pick
your favorite cause and find an organization that you can help. If you need help,
shoot me a note. March 20th is the first day of Spring
this year. Make March your month to “spring” into action and recognize and help
out an organization that is important to you.
Examples:
March 9th is Read
Aloud Day. Contact your local library or senior citizens’ center and volunteer
to read.
March 20th is Oral
Health Day. Gather toothpaste, toothbrushes, mouthwash, and floss and donate it
to your local homeless, domestic violence, or Veteran’s center.
March 30th is Take a
Walk in The Park Day. Take a walk and cleanup as you stroll.
There are countless ways to help,
and using the special events and cause recognition for March is a great place
to get ideas!
And as always, I would love to
hear your ideas or what you did to help!
