NATIONAL GET SMART ABOUT CREDIT DAY

National Get Smart About Credit Day on the third Thursday in October annually promotes learning about good credit. It is a national campaign where volunteer bankers help counsel young people on responsible credit habits.

The importance of sound financial management is something that can and should be taught at a young age. Learning healthy credit habits can be one of the most valuable lessons a young person can learn.

GET TO KNOW YOUR CUSTOMERS DAY

Get to Know Your Customers Day reminds businesses to reach out to patrons and get to know them better. The day is observed annually on the third Thursday of each quarter (January, April, July, October).

NATIONAL MULLIGAN DAY

National Mulligan Day is observed annually on October 17 to offer an opportunity for giving yourself a second chance or, as some people call it, a “do-over.”

BLACK POETRY DAY

Black Poetry Day on October 17 honors past and present black poets. The day also commemorates the birth of the first published black poet in the United States.

The first Black poetry book was published on October 17, 1711 by Jupiter Hammon. Today’s celebration reminds us all the importance of black heritage and literacy. On Black Poetry Day, we recognizes the contributions made by black poets and show our appreciation to all black authors.

Take up a quiet spot at the library to read many of the talented black poets from around the world. Or find a poetry reading at a nearby bookstore, cultural or arts center like the Furious Flower Poetry Center at James Madison University. The first center of its kind in the United States, The Furious Flower’s name is inspired by a poem written by former U.S. Poet Laureate Gwendolyn Brooks. They also have a growing collection of resources, offer workshops and so much more.

NATIONAL PASTA DAY

October 17 celebrates all things pasta on National Pasta Day. Plus, October is National Pasta Month, giving pasta lovers a chance to celebrate all things pasta!

While we find noodles all over the world, pasta is a type of noodle of traditional Italian cuisine. The first reference dates to 1154 in Sicily and was first attested to in English in 1874. Typically, it is made from an unleavened dough of durum wheat flour. The flour is mixed with water or eggs and formed into sheets or various shapes. It can then be served fresh or dried to be stored for later use.

NATIONAL EDGE DAY

National Edge Day on October 17 promotes a movement of youth refraining from using alcohol, tobacco, and other recreational drugs.

As part of the Straight Edge movement, teens and young adults pledge to live a clean lifestyle. Many who follow the movement also abstain from recreational sex and unhealthy food choices.

The day also encourages the support of those who chose to live the Straight Edge lifestyle. Abstaining from tobacco, alcohol and recreational drugs is not an indication someone is dull. Many who live on the edge, do so without these chemical enhancements. Some may travel and explore the world. They may be thrill-seekers or collectors of knowledge. Perhaps they absorb languages and music instead.
