United Nations Public Service Day



The United Nation Public Service Day is celebrated on June 23 of every year. The prestigious UN Public Service Awards are given away on this day.

The UN Public Service Day was designated by the United Nations General Assembly's resolution A/ RES/57/277 of 2003, to “celebrate the value and virtue of public service to the community”.

The United Nations Economic and Social Council established that the United Nations Public Service Awards be bestowed on Public Service Day for contributions made to the cause of enhancing the role, prestige, and visibility of public service.

"On this Public Service Day, I thank all public servants for their daily efforts to make a difference. I also call upon young people everywhere to consider dedicating themselves to the noble cause of public service as we strive to build a future of dignity of all."

And

National Pink Day



Date When Celebrated :
Always June 23


It's National Pink Day, a day where everything should be basking in pink splendor! It's especially a day for the ladies, as pink is a girl's favorite color.

Guys, you can participate in National Pink Day, too. Just get in touch with your feminine side, and display a dash of pink.

Note: the girls will love you for it!

It's easy to enjoy and to participate in National Pink Day. Bring your pink elephant out of hiding. Wear pink, and show off everything you have that's pink, from clothing and shoes to other possessions.

Be creative. Use food coloring to make pink meals. Pink frosting on a cake or cookies will be a big hit today.

The Origin of Pink:

Research did not find the creator, or the origin of this day. I did not find any documentation confirming this to be a "National" day.
