October Diversity Calendar Highlights

GUAM AND SAIPAN FLOTILLA PARTNERSHIP FEATURE:

October is a month filled with vibrant celebrations and important awareness days that remind us of our diverse world and the values we uphold. As we honor Indigenous People’s Day, we reflect on the rich cultures and traditions of Native communities, while National Train Your Brain Day invites us to explore our curiosity and learn something new every day. October 16 brings National Boss’s Day, a time to recognize the leaders who guide us, and on the 24th, we celebrate United Nations Day, honoring global cooperation and peace. We also embrace the sweetness of National Candy Corn Day and the spooky excitement of Halloween later in the month. October is the perfect time to promote Global Diversity Awareness Month and support important causes such as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, National Disability Employment Awareness Month, and National Domestic Violence Awareness and Prevention Month. Join us for World Smile Day, where we spread joy and kindness, and don't forget to take part in the Guam Flotilla Social Diversity Gathering: Autumn Fest on October 8, 2024. Lastly, mark your calendars for the D204 Lions International October Fest Story Time Literacy Partnership at 10:00 a.m. on October 5, 2024, via Zoom!

LET US REMEMBER: 9/11

On September 11, we paid tribute to those who suffered from the 9/11 attacks on America. We will always remember those who lost their lives, those who sacrificed to help in any way they could, and the day that brought everyone from all walks of life, rich or poor, together as ONE! God Bless the families and friends of those we have lost, and the brave men and women who continue to fight for our freedom!
