October is Diversity Awareness Month

sister cities global communities
If you don’t have the opportunity to travel to far off lands, get involved in a community organization where the participants are ethnically or spiritually different from you. You can do that by finding social networks and groups and forums online and getting involved by watching the conversations and getting to know about the people who participate. Also, join a local group to get some face to face time with those of various cultures. One group I recommend is Sister Cities.  Join a local chapter of Sister Cities and get to know about other cultures.

About Sister Cities: Sister Cities International is a nonprofit citizen diplomacy network that creates and strengthens partnerships between U.S. and international communities. The organization strives to build global cooperation at the municipal level, promote cultural understanding and stimulate economic development.

It is also National Cookie Month ~ Contact cookie bouquet and send a cookie bouquet to your favorite (best) clients.  If you sell cookies, use your product to promote the month.  You could host a cookie bake-off contest and ask the local city officials to come and judge the event.  Award ribbons for various categories. Another great media draw.

Today is also:
Ecological Debt Day
Balloons around The World Day
Etch-a-Sketch Day
