FOREFATHERS’ DAY
Each year, Forefathers’ Day commemorates the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers in Plymouth, Massachusetts, on December 21, 1620. The Old Colony Club of Plymouth, Massachusetts, introduced the observance in 1769. The town observes the holiday on December 22nd (unless on Sunday, then on the following Monday). #ForefathersDay
CELEBRATING INCLUSION
October is National Disability Employment Awareness (NDEAM) Month
As part of National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) this October, we’re excited to invite employers to a virtual kickoff event hosted by Workforce Solutions Panhandle and Texas Workforce Solutions-Vocational Rehabilitation Services.
| These virtual webinars will bring together employers, service providers, and community members to explore strategies for building more inclusive workplaces and hiring individuals with disabilities. It’s a valuable opportunity to learn directly from Vocational Rehabilitation staff, connect with peers, and strengthen your approach to disability inclusion in employment.
Thank you,

Calling young artists and inventors! Immerse yourself in the mind of Leonardo da Vinci– building, sketching, testing, and designing, just like the “Renaissance Man” himself. Hands-on activity tables explore his contributions to art, science, anatomy and engineering. Will you recreate da Vinci’s work, or add an exciting twist that’s all your own?
Included with membership or general admission.
Leonardo’s Lab, a traveling exhibit, was developed by Carnegie Science Center (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) and produced in partnership with the Sciencecenter (Ithaca, New York).

FESTIVUS
Each year on December 23rd, Festivus commemorates a holiday episode of the television comedy, Seinfeld. In 1997, the popular television comedy brought Festivus to the masses when Frank Costanza (played by Jerry Stiller) explains he invented the holiday in response to the commercialism of Christmas. Its slogan is “A Festivus for the rest of us.” #Festivus
