NATIONAL GOLF CART DAY
On June 13, we celebrate National Golf Cart Day as a day that pays tribute to the evolution of the golf cart. This day is for everyone who loves feeling the breeze in their hair on and off the golf course. Let’s go for a quick ride through the history of the golf cart and learn some fun facts along the way!

A golf cart is a small, motorized vehicle originally crafted to carry golfers and their clubs around a golf course. Its history is fascinating, remaining a key tradition of the sport. Today, golfers and non-golfers alike enjoy the flexibility and versatility of these vehicles to carry oneself around a golf course, run errands and to even visit their friends around the neighborhood. Officially known as a golf cart, these vehicles have given people all over the world more GO in their days.

but the Dolan brothers were the ones who really cracked the code on building a golf car efficiently at a fleet scale where it became more than a novelty. A golf course may have had one or two before, but now they could buy a fleet of golf cars that every golfer could go out and use on the course.”

NATIONAL SEWING MACHINE DAY

Each year on June 13, National Sewing Machine Day honors an invention that has kept us in stitches for over 150 years. Follow along as we try to stitch together a brief history and some fun facts, too.

Before the invention of the sewing machine, tailors and sewists created clothing by hand, one single stitch at a time. The invention of the sewing machine brought about revolutionary change. Not only did it boost an entire industry, but it also changed the way we viewed the garments we wore. However, the development of the sewing machine took time.

Skilled cabinet-maker and English inventor, Thomas Saint, received the first patent for a design of a sewing machine in 1790. He intended his design to sew on leather and canvas. However, he never advertised it and no evidence of the design, other than his drawings, could be found. In 1874, William Newton Wilson found Saint’s drawings in the London Patent Office. With some minor adjustments, Wilson built a working model. The London Science Museum currently owns Wilson’s model. Other sewing machine inventors include:

Walter Hunt invented the first American lockstitch sewing machine in 1832.
John Greenough patented the first sewing machine in the United States in 1842.
In 1851, another inventor, Isaac Singer, developed a sewing machine model that would endure and also thrust him into court with Elias Howe over patent infringement.
Industrial use of the sewing machine reduced the burden placed upon housewives, moving clothing production from them and seamstresses to large-scale factories. This also resulted in a decrease in production time which caused the price of clothing to drop considerably.

Today, many people are again becoming interested in the art of sewing and making their own clothing. Crafts fairs and flea markets are filled with booths full of beautiful sewing machine-made clothes and craft items. Quilters across America are also known as sewing machine experts!

NATIONAL CAREER NURSE ASSISTANTS’ DAY

National Career Nurse Assistants’ Day happens on the first day of National Nursing Assistants’ Week each year. On this day, we recognize all nursing assistants who dedicate their lives to the well-being of others, whether it’s been 5 years or 58 years of service.

Nursing assistants work in hospitals and nursing homes alike, performing everyday living tasks for the elderly, chronically ill, or rehabilitation patients who cannot care for themselves. Of course, nursing assistants require in-depth training to gain the necessary qualifications to cover a wide scope of responsibilities. The American Red Cross, as well as other providers, provide classes to study for nursing assistants. Although states may distribute CNA certification exams, their certification follows a standard set of qualifications created by the government.

Career Nursing Assistants also play a host of roles in the lives of residents in nursing homes, hospitals, and long-term care facilities. Amazingly, they often assist people to remain independent in their own homes for as long as possible. In addition, a CNA provides essential support for patient needs. This includes promoting mental, physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being, too.
