January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month
Since 2010, January has been proclaimed as National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month

Human trafficking affects both adults and children, men and women, and people from all parts of Texas, the United States, and worldwide.

There are four significant types of trafficking:

Adult Sex Trafficking - Trafficking of adults for sex by force, fraud, or coercion in strip clubs, brothels, massage parlors, street prostitution, or internet prostitution

Adult Labor Trafficking - Trafficking adults for labor by force, fraud, or coercion into industries, such as agriculture, food service, manufacturing, domestic servitude, or hospitality

Child Sex Trafficking - Trafficking children, under the age of 18, by any means into the commercial sex industry

Child Labor Trafficking - Trafficking children, under the age of 18, by force, fraud, or coercion into industries such as agriculture, food service, manufacturing, domestic servitude, or hospitality.

Take Action: On January 11th, participate in the Department of Homeland Securities WEAR BLUE DAY to bring attention to the issue of human trafficking.

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY
February 14, 2022
 
Valentine’s Day 2022 
In the United States, about 190 million Valentine's Day cards are sent each year, not including the hundreds of millions of cards school children exchange.[102]
Valentine's Day is a major source of economic activity, with total expenditures in 2017 topping $18.2 billion in 2017 or over $136 per person.[103] This is an increase from $108 per person in 2010.[85] In 2019, a survey by the National Retail Federation found that the percentage of people who celebrate Valentine's Day had declined steadily over the previous decade. Their survey results found three primary reasons: over-commercialization of the holiday, not having a significant other, and not being interested in celebrating it.[104]
 
This is a day of expressing our heartfelt emotions to our beloved, taking one’s relationship to the next level. Couples today believe in dedicating the entire day only to each other, without any interruptions. The celebrations often begin a week in advance and gift exchanging, declaration of love, marriage proposals are commonplace during the said Valentine week. Let us take a look at what Valentine’s Day in the US entails.
 
February 22, 2022 (2/22/22) falls on Tuesday, so we'll be able to call it 2's Day. 
 
"The rose is red, the violet's blue,
The honey's sweet, and so are you.
Thou art my love, and I am thine;
I drew thee to my Valentine:
The lot was cast, and then I drew,
And Fortune said it shou'd be you."[66][67]
 
 
THE PROGRAM THIS WEEK 
 
 
This week's program is PUB NIGHT
 
 

 
 
 
We light up on Wednesday, February 2, 2022, starting at 5:30 PM with socializing.
