"Each year on the last Saturday in April, National Rebuilding Day encourages organizations and volunteers to pick up their tools and roll up their sleeves. On this day and over the weekend, thousands of volunteers join together to provide much-needed and sometimes critical and life-saving repairs, for vulnerable families in various communities. The work done by volunteers is at no cost to the recipient families. Monies for materials are raised through sponsorships, donations, and in-kind gifts. Volunteers come together from area businesses, schools, faith-based organizations, civic and community groups, and associations and work selflessly to help others. The cost of shingling a roof or building a ramp adds up, especially if someone is on a fixed income. These volunteers make homes safer, more economical to heat and cool, and more enjoyable for the residents. If you can wield a hammer, saw or paint bush, haul wood, or even rake leaves, you have the skills these organizations need. Volunteers are vital to any organization, but volunteers with skills go such a long way to helping rebuild someone’s home and hope."
My notes: Don't let anything stand in your way of being a human being with common courtesy, decency, & respect towards one another.

Rebuilding can mean lots of different things. Rebuild someone's house or business after a tornado, hurricane or a fire.
Or, rebuilding relationships & friendships...it's all good. :-)

"On April 24, observe National Pigs-in-a-Blanket Day with just a few ingredients. Celebrated across the world, the term often refers to a variety of different dishes. In the United States, Pigs-in-a-Blanket is often hot dogs or sausages wrapped in biscuit or croissant dough and baked. Pigs-in-a-Blanket are generally served as an appetizer or as breakfast. However, it can be served at any mealtime! Another popular version of pigs-in-a-blanket includes cabbage rolls stuffed with a beef filling. It’s often covered with a tomato or cream sauce. Many recipes use the name “Pigs-in-a-Blanket” to describe just about any meat product wrapped in something. For example, one recipe we found called for stuffing a hotdog with a slice of cheese and wrapping the whole works with bacon. No dough or cabbage involved here."
My notes: We had these when I was younger. Did you like them?

"April 24 celebrates National Bucket List Day to remind us it’s never too late to set new goals, go on a dream vacation, and inspire people around you to enjoy life to the fullest. By definition, a bucket list is a list of things a person would like to do, but has never experienced before. Some people refer to them as milestones, while other people refer to them as goals. Whatever you call them, a bucket list is a list of things a person would like to accomplish before they die." My notes: Do you have a bucket list? I have a thread here: Bucket List

"National Administrative Professionals' Day, also known as Secretaries Day or Admin Day, recognizes the professionals who keep an office running smoothly every day. Celebrate these professionals on the Wednesday of the last full week in April of each year. The day recognizes the work of secretaries, administrative assistants, receptionists, and other administrative support professionals. Central to any business, these professionals keep an office organized and efficient." My notes: This can include us Admins on forums. It is a steady job even if we don't get paid for it

I'd like to include Nurses in that list. Without them, hospitals would fall apart.
