March 11 - National Worship of Tools Day

Happy National Worship of Tools Day! On March 11, this is a day to go out into the garage, the tool shed, the storage closet or wherever it is you keep your tools. You can clean them, reorganize them, make something new with them or maybe go to the store and buy a new one. 

It is hard to imagine the world without tools as they are a part of our daily lives. From the hammer, the screwdriver and the wrench to the most sophisticated tools, they are necessary.  

Upon their use, they sometimes get rusty and need to be shined, they get dirty and need to be cleaned, they get dull and need to be sharpened. 

Tool enthusiasts know a good tool when they see one. Often, they have a favorite brand or style. And they never seem to have enough, either. Collecting them is nearly as important as using them.  

Another common discussion about tools is the borrowing of tools. From one neighbor to another, tools have been loaned, borrowed and returned numerous times. The funny papers and the sitcoms humorously remind us of this from time to time. And sometimes, so do our neighbors. 

HOW TO OBSERVE 

Spend some extra time shining up your tools or fixing them if they needed it. Taking care of your tools helps them to last longer, which in turn is a benefit for you. Use #WorshipOfToolsDay to post on social media. 

HISTORY 

National Day Calendar® was not able to find the origin of this day. They suspect someone borrowed it.

March 11 - National Promposal Day

Happy National Promposal Day! On March 11th, this day prompts the ultimate question each year. “Will you go to prom with me?”  

It’s the day for high school students across North America to craft their unique invitation to the event of the year. Prom takes a lot of planning. That includes finding the right tux, the right dress, shoes, and accessories.  

Does mom teach you how to dance or do you take a dance class? Do you borrow dad’s car or rent a limo? Those are just a few of the details. But that’s getting ahead of the plan. First, ask the question on March 11th, #NationalPromposalDay. 

HOW TO OBSERVE 

Prom is one of the most memorable times in high school. Start it off right with an exceptional promposal. Rehearse it or wing it, but get out there and ask!  

Get creative about asking someone to prom and capture the special moment on video.

March 11 - National Funeral Director and Mortician Recognition Day

Happy National Funeral Directors and Morticians Day! On March 11th, this day reminds us to thank the professionals who consider every need during the most difficult time in a family’s life. 

Funeral directors and morticians dedicate their lives to helping families and loved ones celebrate their loved ones. They bring together the memories and accomplishments of someone they’ve lost to death.  

With professional guidance and compassion, funeral directors help with every step of planning a funeral. While the news settles in among family, these experts understand how emotional and stressful the process may be. 

The combination of compassion and excellent organizational skills make funeral directors the perfect people to bring together numerous people. The more the better to celebrate someone we loved dearly.  

  

Being a funeral director means being a good listener as well. And since people who lose a loved one share a lifetime of memories, funeral directors have that skill in spades. 

  

They work hard to attain their skills, too. Both morticians and funeral directors study mortuary science attaining at least an associate degree or higher. Their degree is followed by a one to three year apprenticeship. Funeral directors must be licensed. 

  

Beyond their training, it’s how funeral directors put people at ease that matters most. When someone grieves, the pain of loss takes on many different faces.  

  

Funeral directors act as guides and help to fulfill the wishes of our loved ones. When the pain and suffering ends, the mortician and funeral director provide a sense of peace and unity at a time that can seem chaotic even at its best. 

  

HOW TO OBSERVE 

  

If you’ve ever needed the assistance of a funeral director or witness the work of a mortician, take time to thank them for their time and consideration. There are several ways to show your appreciation of their services and recognize the work they do.  

•   
• • Send a thank you card letting them know how much their services mean to you. 
• • Recommend their services to others.  
• • Put your funeral in the hands of the business that has already proven to you they can care for your family. Plan your funeral in advance.

HISTORY 

  

In 2008, U.S. Congress passed a resolution designating March 11th as National Funeral Director and Mortician Recognition Day.
