National Meeting Planners Appreciation Day falls on May 4 this year, as it’s the Monday of the first full week of the month. Meeting planners cover a broad range of industries simply because there is always a need for the position. Whether it’s a small work function or an event as illustrious as the Oscars, meeting planners are the people behind the scenes making sure everything goes as planned. They make cool things happen by ensuring everyone is on track with their part in the project! Without meeting planners, we wouldn’t have conventions, trade shows, and a dozen other events that keep things exciting. If you look hard enough, you’re sure to find meeting planners behind any cool event.
Learn to Ride a Bike Day
Learn to Ride a Bike Day is celebrated on May 1 every year. One of the most exciting things is getting a new bike or wanting to learn how to ride one. While learning how to ride a bike may seem daunting, it is quite easy to get started as a child or an adult. Usually, training wheels are put on, and then they are gradually removed, one by one. There is also safety gear you can purchase and safety precautions that can be taken. After a while you start pedaling, afraid but smiling — you have finally learned to ride a bike.
Phone in Sick Day
Phone in Sick Day is celebrated on May 1 every year. It is a day set aside to appreciate the average working-class citizen and give him a day of rest. Phone in Sick Day is celebrated as casually as it sounds, but the motivations are more nuanced. People call in sick on this day to protest against longer work hours, less free time, a decreased quality of life, and to voice their displeasure with the “rat race” of modern living. Since they hold some of the lowest-paying occupations, the working class doesn’t have much power individually; thus, the day is specially designed to provide them a chance to unite and demonstrate their economic strength.
