It’s National Folding Laundry Day on March 30 every year. Yes, we’re serious. That growing pile of clothes you haven’t folded yet, the one that’s sitting on your chair in the room, on your bed, or that you haven’t even taken it out of the dryer yet — it’s time to iron those clothes, fold them up neatly, and put them back in your closet where they belong. Or if they have not been used in 12 months, pack them up and donate them to charity. Get the whole family involved and let’s fold all our laundry.
Day of Remembrance for Truth and Justice
The Day of Remembrance for Truth and Justice is a day of commemoration held on March 24 in Argentina to honor the memory of those who died during the state-sponsored terror known as the “Dirty War.” On this day Argentinians, especially those who lost loved ones during the military dictatorship of 1976 to 1983, call for justice for those lost and ask for further investigations into the circumstances that led to the death and disappearances of over 30,000 people. It is to these people — the ones hurt and missing to this day — that the Argentinian government makes amends, honoring the sacrifices made and holding a celebration of their memories.
Joe Franklin Day
Joe Franklin Day is celebrated on March 9 every year, marking the birthday of one of the world’s most prolific entertainers. Before the advent of the internet and streaming services, television was all we had. And no one knew how to do T.V. better than Franklin. From Marilyn Monroe to Muhammad Ali, Franklin has interviewed them all. Also known as Mr. Nostalgia, he is often credited with having invented the talk show format we’re all so familiar with today. He truly was the ultimate showman. And we’re not throwing that term around lightly. His most popular series, “The Joe Franklin Show,” has over 21,000 episodes. So if you’re a big fan of talk shows, you know who to thank.
