Today is:
Administrative Professionals Day — Call them Administrative Professionals, Administrative Assistants, or Secretaries… we all know who’s really running the show!
Earth Day — Since 1970, celebrating the wonder that is our one and only home and striving to keep her safe!
National Jellybean Day — The favorite of President Ronald Reagan, today is the day to celebrate all those little nuggets of sugary goodness. Just be careful with the “any flavor beans“!
