NATIONAL PIZZA WEEK – Begins Second Sunday in January
Those who love pizza will love National Pizza Week, which kicks off the
second Sunday in January. The week celebrates one of America’s favorite foods.
Pizza Trivia: Around the world, over 5 billion pizzas are sold each year.
Each day Americans eat 100 acres of pizza or 350 slices per second.
Saturday night is the most popular day of the week for eating pizza.

UNIVERSAL LETTER WRITING WEEK - Universal Letter Writing Week during
the second full week of January encourages us to take up pen and paper and
write to someone this week. Letter Writing Trivia: The first letter to have been
mailed with a stamp was written in 1840 in Great Britain. In the United
States, the first postage stamp was issued in 1847. Prior to the invention of
the stamp, the person receiving the letter paid the postage.

NATIONAL BLOOD DONOR MONTH - January is National Blood Donor Month.
The American Red Ross and Blood Banks of America encourage everyone can
donate to continue their donations.
Blood Donor Trivia: The most requested blood type by hospitals is type O. This
kind of blood can be transfused to patients of all blood types, so it’s always in
great demand and very short supply. Only 7% of people in the U.S. have type O.
