1. National Voter Registration Day—celebrating the need for all eligible adults to register to vote; far too many of us take the right to vote
for granted and have opted out of the political process.
2. Eight Is The Magic Number Day---celebrating
the birth on this day in 1920 of Mickey Rooney whose career spanned over 80
years and yes was married eight times and probably kept a slew of divorce

Frank Sinatra “the only true genius in show business, “ Ray Charles who lost
his sight at the age of seven.

words of wisdom from Ray Charles and why we should be charitable: “Affluence
separates people. Poverty knits them together. You got some sugar and I don’t;
I borrow some of yours. Nest month you might not have any flour; well, I will
give you some of mine.” Ray Charles What
an amazing talent and testimony of how the human spirit can overcome adversity
