National Months and Weeks

I learned today that this week is National Geography Awareness Week.  That's great, but a little late notice.  I've found great resources which I've put here.  However, this made me think about what other "national" weeks and months may be out there that I am not aware of.  Here's a rundown of what I found, both educational and a little unusual:

January is the month for books, hobbies, bread machine baking, and eye health care
February is for African American History, Boost your self-esteem, Dental, American history, and my personal favorite: chocolate lover's.  It is also the month for Returning Shopping Carts to the Supermarket and Berry Fresh in the Sunshine State
March celebrates women's history, national nutrition, music in our schools, youth art, noodles, and frozen food
April is the month for Community service, stress awareness, Fresh Florida Tomatoes, and Soft Pretzels
May celebrates Asian/Pacific American Heritage, National Physical Fitness and Sports, bikes, Share A Story, Artisan Gelato Month, and Chocolate Custard Month
June is for National Fresh Fruit and Vegetables, Audiobooks and Dairy
July  is Lasagna Awareness and Culinary Arts
August is the month for Catfish, Peaches, Harvesting and Water Quality
September celebrates Hispanic Heritage, Self-Improvement, Women of Achievement, and Hug a Texas Chef
October is for Book Fairs, Computer Learning, National Applejack Month, and Popcorn Poppin' Month
November celebrates American Indian Heritage, Novel Writing, Latin Americans, and Raisin Bread
December is for Reading a New Book, Universal Human Rights, and International Calendar Awareness
