Grenville Station Gift Baskets Canada

Today is Secretary’s Day and as I was reviewing our Secretary’s Day Gift Basket category, I just wanted to say, “Job well done folks”, to all those Administrative Professionals out there whose bosses are working them to the bone. 

As I was researching this fine non-holiday, I stumbled upon a website that made reference to other non-holiday celebrations.  In fact, today is also Cherry Cheesecake Day, Shakespeare’s birthday, St. George’s Day and World Book & Copyright Day.  It’s amazing that I never heard of any of these before.  Rounding out the week, tomorrow we have Ambivalence Day, Pigs in a Blanket Day and Plumbers Day and on Friday, just to name a few more, it’s Anzac Day in Australia & New Zealand, Zucchini Bread Day, Orthodox Holy Friday and my all time favourite, Don’t step in the Dog Poop Day.

As you can see, there are many reasons to celebrate daily and many reasons to send someone a gift.  I think I’ll send my brother our Koffee Kafe gift basket for Don’t step in the Dog Poop day…just for fun.  Have a great day!

Administrative Professionals Week 2008 (APW) is now upon us, with Wednesday, April 23^rd being designated as Administrative Professionals Day. It’s time to show your gratitude to your Admin Staff!

Established in 1952 as “National Secretaries Week,” it was created in order to acknowledge the effort and dedication such staff put forth, as well as to promote the Administrative industry in general. Here we are 56 years later and the occasion has evolved into an annual event celebrated in workplaces worldwide The official web site of the International Association of Administrative Professionals (IAAP) has a wealth of information regarding the history of Administrative Professionals Week as well as recommendations for how employers can acknowledge their administrative staff, a listing of APW events and resources for administrative professionals.  It’s well worth the visit for employers and administrative staff alike!

Many companies hold seminars, set up educational events or fun activities. It is also a wonderful opportunity to present your staff with some treats, such as individual gift baskets containing their favourite treats or larger gift hampers to be shared amongst the entire administrative staff.

Don’t forget that Wednesday is Administrative Professionals Day. How will you show your administrative staff how much they are valued?
