It’s National Donut Day

Hey this isn't on my calendar!! Why didn't we get the day off?   It's National Donut Day and not one person brought donuts to work today.  So what is National Donut Day and why is it observed?This day was  started in 1938 as a fundraiser for the Salvation Army and is  celebrated the first Friday in

June.  The first donuts were actually served in 1917 during WWI by donut "Lassies".  These ladies provided donuts and home cooking for the soldiers on the front lines.  They would bring a little home to the soldiers fighting, it was determined that the donuts brought an extra little smile to their faces and so the tradition continued.  Today on Nationl Donut Day many donut shops provide free donuts, it's too late today but mark it on your calendar for next year and scour the town to see who might be providing free donuts!!  This kind of information is always good to know.
