“Always Wacky; Sometimes Serious”
Thursday, May 19th, 2016
140 days have lapsed and there are 226 days left.
What’s Wacky Today?
Today is Boys Club Day; probably more of a serious holiday than "wacky"; we do have those once in awhile. The
Boys Club was started way back in 1860 by three women who noticed boys running
around with nothing to do after school; which really didn’t exist for many of
them anyway. These women felt that the boys needed an alternative. In 1906 the
organization affiliated with 53 other clubs total. I’m not sure when girls were
allowed to be in the club but in 1990 the name was changed to the Boys “and
Girls” Club. Today, 10 years after the centennial of 2006 the club is strong
and promotes opportunities for young men and women. I’m also not sure if we’re
just celebrating the boy’s part of the club today.
What Wacky happened on this date in the past?
1536, Anne Boleyn who was
Henry VIII’s second wife was beheaded; 1568 Mary the Queen of Scots flees to
England and Queen Elizabeth imprisons her, 1780 almost total darkness engulfs
New England at noon, with no explanation to this day.
Who has a birthday today?
Lady Nancy Astor (first woman of the
British House of Commons)
John Hopkins (merchant and philanthropist.
Malcolm X (African-American Activist)
Joey Ramone (The Ramones)
Kevin Garnett (NBA Star)
Pete Townshend

QUOTE OF THE DAY:
When I grew
up, what was interesting for me was that music was color and life was gray. So
music for me has always been more than entertainment. Pete Townshend
Go forth and be “more”!
Make it a “wacky” day!
