Administrative Professional's Day is April 25th. I want to send good wishes in advance to all Alanoners who serve in Al-Anon as leaders of meetings, as sponsors, as greeters, as members who give financial support when the basket is passed or through giving online, as someone who reaches out to newcomers, as someone to set up literature, tables and chairs, refreshments, as someone who arranges for a place to meet, as someone who contributes to a newsletter or to a messageboard, and so on.Thank you for your service. I appreciate it even when I forget to say so.
TRIVIA: How many times has the name of Administrative Professional's Day been changed?
Three. From 1952-1981, in the United States, we knew the day as National Secretay's Day. In 1981, the day was changed to Professional Secretary's Day. In 2000, the day became what it is known as today - Administrative Professional's Day. The name changes reflect how job titles have changed and how responsibilities have expanded.

And how political correctness has homogenized our language to the point of meaninglessness. Where's the shame in being a "secretary"? Some of the highest ranking members of the government are "secretaries".
oh, barisax, don't get me off-topic ranting about political correctness lol

I will be learning the code for all the little images, 'cause I love 'em! I do know the one below:
