Each year, Armed Forces Day affords us an opportunity to pause and honor those who put on a uniform and defend the American way of life.  It’s a day to show appreciation for the service and sacrifices of all who serve or have served in our Nation’s Armed Forces.

Every year on the third Friday in May, thousands of people around the world participate in Endangered Species Day by celebrating, learning about, and taking action to protect threatened and endangered species. This global day of action and celebration was created and founded by David Robinson and the Endangered Species Coalition in 2006, and has continued ever since.

On Endangered Species Day, wildlife refuges, zoos, aquariums, gardens, schools, libraries, museums, community groups, nonprofits, and individuals hold special programs or events for people of all ages. People around the world participate in these activities or others. Find out how you can be a part of this historic day below!

Thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered, came out to and supported our yard sale last weekend. This is one of our biggest fundraising events of the year and our wonderful community came through once again, making this one of the most successful sales to date.

“Her Hands”

Her hands held me gently from the day

I took my first breath.

Her hands helped to guide me as I took my

first step.

Her hands held me close when the tears

would start to fall.

Her hands were quick to show me that she

would take care of it all.
