This is a fascinating date to remember. Because it is so easy to get to that point. I actually remember this going on when I was young.

* World Hello Day *

World Hello Day on November 21 is an unofficial holiday created to promote world peace through interpersonal communication.


Say "hello" to everyone you meet on World Hello Day.

The unofficial holiday was created by Brian and Michael McCormack as a response to the Yom Kippur War between Israel and a coalition of Arab states led by Egypt and Syria in 1973.

The purpose of World Hello Day is simple – to encourage communication and dialogue between people of different backgrounds in order to achieve peace and understanding.
Since its beginning in 1973, the day has been celebrated around the world annually with several Nobel Peace Prize winners and peace activists taking part in it.

How to Celebrate?
World Hello Day asks that participants greet at least 10 people. These people can be family and friends, but it is suggested that one finds strangers to greet and talk to.

Did You Know…
…that hello was used as a telephone greeting for the first time by Thomas Edison?

That's wonderful to hear for theatre buffs. I just got message from a director I know asking me to be in a staged reading of a play in March. I've worked with her in two other plays.
