Happy Swiss National Day !

In honor of our District 53 Governor's heritage, we direct your attention to today's special occasion...

August 1st is Swiss National Day !

According to wikipedia...

It is celebrated each year on August 1st with town-wide paper lantern parades, bonfires, hanging strings of Swiss flags and fireworks.

You might also want to check out the district 53 website to see what the district theme logo looks like ! I'm not sure if it will be there tomorrow so this might be a "limited time offer"!

Who said there are no holidays in August?

If you have a holiday, you have a topic for a theme meeting!

The Swiss National Day (German: Schweizer Bundesfeier; French: Fête nationale Suisse; Italian: Festa nazionale Svizzera; Romanish: Fiasta naziunala Svizra) is 1 August.

It is celebrated each year at a local, municipality level (though certain events draw nation-wide attention) with town-wide paper lantern parades, bonfires, hanging strings of Swiss flags and fireworks.
