HODOWE Challenge Calendar Revised...

[carabele.livejournal.com]

I don't know where I got that Administrative Professionals' Day is in March.  Actually it falls in April, April 25th this year.  So here is the revised HODOWE Challenge Calendar:

• Jan = Chinese New Year (missed this one this year as we started a bit late)
• Feb = Groundhog Day (done)
• Feb = Shrove Tuesday/Mardi Gras/Carnivale (currently in progress)
• Mar = Vernal Equinox (posting for this one will be March 18th to 24th)
• Apr = Poisson d'Avril (April Fools' Day)
• Apr = Tax Day or other notation with regard to fiscal year
• Apr = Administrative Professionals' Day
• May = May Day
• May = Armed Forces Day
• Jul = San Fermin
• Aug = International Left-Handers' Day
• Oct = United Nations Day
• Nov = Guy Fawkes Day
• Nov = Election Day

In all likelihood we will combine Tax Day and Administrative Professionals' Day in a single story challenge.  (Our first overlap challenge!)  I'll provide more of a heads-up on that when the timeframe gets closer.
