For the trivia lover… Out of all 12 months of the year, September is spelled with the most letters. It contains nine letters, and it happens to be the ninth month of the year. No other months have the same number of letters as their number in the calendar year…. Little-known, but highly significant holidays fall in September… We all know that Labor Day is in September… Sept. 17 is Constitution Day, which marks the day the U.S. Constitution was adopted… Other significant days are… National Grandparent Day, National Cheese Pizza Day, and National Drink-a-Beer Day.
September is Be Kind to Editors and Writers Month… In 1984, Lone Star Publishing in San Antonio, Texas established this month-long celebration to honor all the fantastic writers and editors of the world… So, when you see Bridge Turner, the Beacon’s GM and managing editor, out and about this month… please be kind.
