Parents Day USA Sunday 26th July

In 1994 President Bill Clinton signed into law a resolution adopted by the US Congress to establish the fourth Sunday of every July as Parents’ Day. This day is similar to Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. According to the Congressional Resolution, Parents’ Day is established for “recognizing, uplifting, and supporting the role of parents in the rearing of children” (cited in the National Parents’ Day Council website).

On parents day, parental figures in the United States receive the recognition for the role they play in their children’s lives on Parents’ Day. The day aims to promote responsible parenting and to recognize positive parental role models. It celebrates the special bonds of love between parental figures and their children.

What do people do?

Parents’ Day is celebrated on the fourth Sunday each year. Citizens, organizations, and federal, state, and local governmental and legislative entities are encouraged to recognize Parents’ Day through proclamations, activities, and educational efforts to recognize, uplift and support the role of parents in bringing up their children.

The Parents’ Day Council plays an active role in celebrating and promoting Parents’ Day through a range of events and activities. For example, the council honors “Parents of the Year” at local, state and national levels. Those who have been nominated or selected are people who exemplify the standard and ideal of positive parenthood. Exemplary parents from each state are nominated for “National Parents of the Year”.

Parents’ Day is a popular time for people to send cards and gifts, including flowers, cakes and food hampers, to those who play an important role as a positive parental figure in their lives. It is also a time for families to come together for lunches or dinners. Special tributes to parental figures who are seen as role models are made through local announcements, at church services, or at local community events. Parents’ Day proclamations and rallies have been held in recent times and involved organizations such as the United Civil Rights Councils of America.

Did you send out a real card on 4th July

Monday, July 6th, 2009

 

The 4th of July is one of the biggest days of the year for many Americans, a  public holiday in the summer , where friends can gather and party around a BBQ or pool or attend Public firework displays.

For some people away from home sending e-cards to friends and family might  have seemed a good idea, however it is amazing how often cards fail to arrive in a persons inbox due to spam filters and the like.

So why do people send e-cards, well its quick and easy to send and is often free, however  when a person receives an e-card it may bring a smile to their face, however it does not have value, the card cannot be displayed so that friends and neighbours can share in the thoughts of the sender.

There is a solution by provided by Sendout Cards, which provides the best of both worlds, the card can be made on any computer attached to the internet (over 12,000 designs) and can even use your own handwriting  and photos. The premium card will then be printed and sent out by US Postal Service for about $1 including postage.

Now if you cannot afford to spend even $1, on a card, shame on you, you see sending a real card means you care, you have taken some time and effort to brighten up some one’s day.
