George Washington’s Birthday
Although George Washington’s birthday is celebrated on February 22, it is
observed as a federal holiday on the third Monday of February. To complicate
matters, Washington was actually born on February 11 in 1731! How can that
be? During Washington’s lifetime, people in Great Britain and America switched
from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar (something most of Europe had done
in 1582). As a result of this calendar reform, people born before 1752 were told
to add 11 days to their birth dates. Those born between January 1 and March 25,
as Washington was, also had to add one year to be in sync with the new calendar.
By the time Washington became president in 1789, he celebrated his birthday on
February 22 and listed his year of birth as 1732.
“Worry is the interest paid
by those who borrow trouble.”
– George Washington, (1732-99)
Reasons People Volunteer
People volunteer for a number of different reasons, ranging from a desire to
learn new skills, have fun or make a difference.
Some people volunteer because they just love helping others. Their own joy of
giving and making a difference makes them feel valued and valuable to the ones
they are serving. They receive back a thousandfold by seeing the impacts created
for the people they are helping.
Others volunteer because they feel a need to give back to a community that has
been good to them and they want to express their gratitude by paying it forward
into their community.
Still others volunteer because it gives them a sense of purpose and meaning to
their lives. It’s like their contribution to others is fulfilling a critical aspect for their
own self-expression in the world.
Last but not least, great volunteers enjoy themselves while giving to others.
Long-term studies have shown that volunteers live longer, are in better health,
have lower rates of depression and less heart disease.

Fun
Valentine
Candy
Facts
Valentine’s Day and candy are a match made in heaven. Here’s more
about the holiday’s long association with sweets and the trends, history
and trivia surrounding Valentine’s Day and candy.
Trivia and Tidbits
• More than 36 million heart-shaped boxes of chocolate
will be sold for Valentine’s Day.
• American men say they’d prefer to receive boxed
chocolate as a Valentine’s Day present followed by
gourmet, high-end chocolates then conversation heart
candies.
• A majority of men (53 percent) admit that they lean on
friends and family to find the perfect present for their
sweetheart while 11 percent look to co-workers, 10
percent ask the cashier and 7 percent consult the World
Wide Web.
• Even if they don’t make the final purchases until the last
few days, the majority of men (75%) testify that they
plan ahead for Valentine’s Day.
• American men and women agree that the most romantic
place to share candy is in front of the fireplace.
History
• In the 1800’s physicians commonly advised their
lovelorn patients to eat chocolate to calm their pining.
• As an elixir for love, chocolate has been believed
throughout history to bring smiles to the broken-hearted and to prompt amorous feelings in both men and
women. It is believed that Madame Du Barry served it
to all her suitors; Casanova consumed chocolate instead
of champagne to induce romance; and Montezuma, the
king of the ancient Aztecs, believed chocolate would
make him attractive.
Conversation Hearts
• About 8 billion hearts will be produced this year; that’s
enough candy to stretch from Rome, Italy to Valentine,
Arizona 20 times and back again.
• The peak selling season for conversation hearts last
only six weeks, but confectioners produce the candy for
nearly eleven months of the year.
• At least 10 new conversation heart sayings are introduced each year. Recent additions include “Yeah Right,”
“Call Home” and “Puppy Love.”
• Each year the television game show JEOPARDY!
includes questions about conversation hearts on its
Valentine’s Day show.

February Marks
Black History Month
February is also known in America as Black History
Month, or African-American History Month. This annual
holiday is observed not only in America, but also Canada
and the United Kingdom. The UK, however, celebrates the
holiday in October. During this month, people nationwide
commemorate the achievements of great AfricanAmericans, celebrating memorable events and people
throughout history. Decades ago, this momentous occasion
was only celebrated during Black History Week. However,
the holiday expanded to Black History Month in February
1970, following a proposal by Kent State University students
in February 1969. In 1976, the expansion of this holiday was
recognized by U.S. government officials, with President
Gerald Ford acknowledging the holiday and encouraging
Americans to “seize the opportunity to honor the too-often
neglected accomplishments of black Americans in every
area of endeavor throughout our history.”
