National Hike with a Geek Day is celebrated every year on June 20. The purpose of this day is to promote healthy activity in people who otherwise work in sedentary jobs throughout the year, such as I.T. professionals, accountants, and so forth. Even going on a hiking trip once a year can encourage people to make physical activity and exercise a part of their daily routine.
Kouign Amann Day
Kouign Amann Day falls on June 20 each year. Made with a simple recipe of flour, butter, and sugar, kouign amann is made in different varieties and flavors. Since it originates in the region of Brittany, the kouign amann combines the simplicity of Welsh foods with the elegance of French taste.
World Elder Abuse Awareness Day
Help spread the word for World Elder Abuse Awareness Day on June 15. It can be hard to imagine that anyone would deliberately want to harm an elderly person, but unfortunately, elder abuse is a widespread problem. Some instances of elder abuse are intended to exploit the person financially; you’ve probably heard of scams targeting seniors. In other cases, it’s simple negligence: Caregivers don’t provide the basic necessities, like nutritious food, appropriate medication, safety, or assistance with hygiene. If you see something, say something.
