Leap Year Day
Peter and Raenell were interviewed by hundreds of newspapers and
radio stations around the world just
prior
to Leap Day 2000. One of the goals was to get the attention of
calendar companies to help them
understand
the importance of putting the words LEAP YEAR DAY on every calendar
with a February 29.
The Wall Street
Journal was the only paper, we found, that included an interview
with someone from the
calendar industry
responding to the importance of putting LEAP YEAR DAY on the
calendar.
The last paragraph of that article
states: "Given the rising interest, Hallmark Cards, Inc. has decided
to
mark Leap Day on many of its calendars,
starting 2004. Says Jeff Morgan, who edits them, "It's an
occasion
of note."
Yes, it is an occasion of
note, and the words LEAP YEAR DAY deserve to be in print on
every calendar
that
has the words New Year's Day on them, in a Leap Year.
If a calendar has the
words Groundhog Day on February 2, then
LEAP YEAR DAY, especially, deserves
to be there. It is
because of Leap Year Day we know when to expect
that groundhog!
If you are interested in helping us get Leap
Year Day on the calendar, please write to as many
calendar
companies as you can to remind them that 2012 is a Leap Year. Just do a search on *calendars* then
email them.
Please capitalize Leap Year and Leap Day.
Just like New Year's Day is, OK? It's important
we give due
respect to Leap Year Day. It's an extra day for
everyone.
