June 1 – NATIONAL OLIVE DAY – NATIONAL HAZELNUT CAKE DAY – NATIONAL GO BAREFOOT DAY – NATIONAL HEIMLICH MANEUVER DAY – NATIONAL PEN PAL DAY – NATIONAL SAY SOMETHING NICE DAY

 

National Olive Day is observed annually on June 1.  The olive, one of the world’s oldest fruits, is part of a traditional meze/tapas culinary experience that brings families and friends around the table to share time together rather than in a kitchen. The olive branch is a symbol of peace, hope, love and friendship and celebrating National Olive Day is a fun way to acknowledge the joy this little fruit provides.

Olives are used in many ways. We find them in cocktails and loaves of bread. We eat them whole as snacks, use them as toppings, include them on relish trays and even use them as a garnish for many foods. They are one of the most versatile foods we eat.
HOW TO OBSERVE
Take photos of your favorite way to eat olives and post them on social media using #nationaloliveday.
HISTORY
National Olive Day was submitted by Divina and proclaimed by the Registrar of National Day Calendar in July 2015.

National Heimlich Maneuver Day June 1

NATIONAL HEIMLICH MANEUVER DAY

Each year on June 1, National Heimlich Maneuver Day is observed. Using abdominal thrusts to force air from the lungs to expel an object on which someone is choking is called the Heimlich Maneuver.  Dr. Henry J. Heimlich created this life-saving procedure in 1974.  The Heimlich Maneuver is also referred to as “Abdominal Thrusts”.
Certified instructors teach the Heimlich Procedure, and these courses are available across the country. Today would be a good day to research the available training in your area.  According to the American Red Cross “choking causes over 3,000 deaths per year.” Having the proper training and knowledge may help to save someone’s life.
