National Scavenger Hunt Day on May 24th each year sends us o ff to find random items all in the name of good fun.
American gossip columnist\, author\, songwriter\, and professional hostess Elsa Maxwell ( May 24\, 1883 – November 1\, 1963) is credited with the introduction of the scavenger hunt for use as a party game in the modern era.
The ga me challenges teams to scavenge for a list of odd items. As part of the ru les\, participants are not allowed to buy the objects. Depending on where the hunt takes place\, players may have to beg\, barter\, or even work for them\, too. Some scavenger hunts add difficulty to the game by adding rid dles describing each item. The team with the most items\, or the first to complete the list\, wins.

The celebration of Gratitude Day allows both individual citizens and organisa tions within wider society to celebrate the broad meaning of gratitude in a variety of ways.Peace me ans so much more than an absence of war. More ordinary conflicts arise fro m disputes with family\, colleagues and neighbours and these disturb our s ense of peace. Making peace with one person today\, even if it is just wit h yourself\, is a fitting way to mark the day. Light a candle\, reflect\, forgive and enjoy being tranquil.
Parents\, do you reward your child ren when they share toys and help each other? Learning how to solve disput es without aggression is a great way to enjoy peace day. A sponsored toddl e can raise funds for peace charities and tire out the little ones. Bliss!
Peace needs building\, not just celebrating. Make everyday your day of peace as you work towards harmony at home\, school\, work and in the c ommunity

The campaign has grown rapidly and is now celebrated across the world.
Initially laun ched to enable people to understand more about the condition and how it af fects day to day life\, more recently\, the campaign has focused on preven ting discrimination and eliminating myths and perceptions that permeate pu blic thinking.
Over the years\, more and more organizations have sig ned up to support Epilepsy Awareness Month\, and this trend looks set to c ontinue.
Epilepsy is a neurological condition\, which is characteriz ed by seizures\, which cause involuntary movements\, shaking\, confusion a nd anxiety. Seizures vary\, and coming across somebody who is having a sei zure can be terrifying\, especially for those with limited knowledge about epilepsy. This is why campaigns like Epilepsy Awareness Month are so impo rtant.

The first inklings that such a day may come t o pass occurred back in 1915 when Red Fox James\, a Native American of the Blackfoot nation\, took it upon himself to ride a horse from state to sta te seeking approval from 24 separate state governments for a day to honor the “American Indian”. In December of that year he presented it to the White House\, apparently to no positive effect.
It was George H. W. Bush who officially took the steps to push forward a joint resolution tha t made November of 1990 the first official Native American Heritage Month. Multiple proclamations have been made since each year following 1994. Sin ce then cultural sites\, museums\, and native tribal councils have organiz ed events showcasing their rich and diverse culture and history so that it might be spread to the young and continue to thrive.
