This review is from: Chase's Calendar of Events 2004 : The Day-to-Day Directory to Special Days, Weeks, and Months (Paperback)

Chase's Calendar of Events is more than a directory. It carries purpose, triumphs, and causes that will help humanity evolve in so many areas.
In this 2004 edition, you will see a new national holiday "National Divorced Parents for Children Week" which begins every October 1st. I created this holiday to remind divorced parents that their children are a part of each of them equally, and that each parent deserves honor and respect. This week long holiday puts children first, by giving their parents the opportunity to display healthy adult courtesy and respect to the other parent, solely for the benefit of their children.
You can create a holiday that has purpose and meaning too! This book is a fantastic resource to bring people together for reasons to celebrate, and make meaningful changes in our society. It is an excellent PR resource that will help you bring awareness to the special days, weeks and months that will help humanity evolve on all levels.

Highly recommended for bringing positive awareness for the benefit of all.
