National Best Friends Day
June 8, 2015 in the USA

Best Friends Day is celebrated on June 08, 2015. On this day everyone should turn to his best friend and let him know how great it feels to have one another. Among all the people one gets to know during his life there is one special person who can be called a best friend. Best Friends Day is a perfect occasion to spend some time with that person and find an individual way to say thank you and celebrate friendship.

A best friend is someone on whom one can always rely to, share all your secrets with and also to have fun and a really great time. To take part in Best Friends Day it would be a good idea to go for a walk, watch old photos and simply make some new precious memories together. The founder of Best Friends Day is unknown – maybe someone who also had a best friend to supported him throughout good and bad times.

**And also, lets not forget our furry best friends: http://bestfriends.org/What-We-Do/Events/Best-Friends-Day/?gclid=CM34wZ_-_sUCFQemaQod85AAQA

National Caribbean American HIV/AIDS Awareness Day
June 8, 2015 in the USA

On June 8, Caribbean Americans across the country united to observe National Caribbean American HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NCAHAAD) – a day established to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS and its disproportionate impact on this group. Hispanics in the U.S. can trace their roots to over 20 countries in Latin America, including several in the Caribbean, which made this day especially important for many in our community. For this reason, NHCOA encouraged Hispanics of all nationalities to join us in supporting our Caribbean brothers and sisters on this observance of national HIV/AIDS awareness.
