Be Late for Something Day
Um. Every day I'm late for something so maybe today should be, for me, be on time for something day!  Ha!

Franchise Appreciation Day
First of all, what exactly is franchising?
The Benefits of the Franchise Model
What are the advantages and disadvantages of owning a franchise?
Instead of listing businesses that are franchises, it would probably be easier to list ones that aren't!  And since I don't want to do either *grin* here's a list of franchise industries.

International Day of Charity
Designated as a day to pay tribute to the work of Mother Teresa, this day is meant to inspire us to continue works and acts of charity.  On this day in 1997 Mother Teresa breathed her last but left quite a legacy, a beautiful legacy, behind.
