Shred Station CT - February Newsletter
- February is the only month to have a length of less than 30 days. Though it’s usually 28 days, February is 29 days in leap years.
- January and February were the last 2 months added to the Roman calendar in 713 BC. Originally, winter was considered a month-less period.
- At first, February was made the last month of the calendar year, but eventually was moved to its place as the second month in 450 BC.
And finally, did you know that since 1888, George Washington’s Farewell Address has been read aloud in the U.S. Senate on February 22nd, which is his actual birthday? He was born on February 22, 1732.
See you again in March!

Welcome to 2023! Did you know that January is “Get Organized” month?
Every January, the Association of Professional Organizers sponsors “Get Organized” month. Studies show that, on average, individuals waste up to an hour a day searching for things that they’ve misplaced. Use this month to think about how organized you are and what help you might need to get organized.
Here are a couple of tips for getting organized:
- Clean out old paperwork & shred anything not tax-related.
- Keep tax-related documents in one place since tax season is right around the corner.
- Put all of your bills in one designated location until you have a chance to review them.

Now that all of the school supplies have been bought and kids are back in school, we start to notice a change in the weather as fall approaches.
Did you ever wonder exactly what the September equinox is? It’s happening today!
There are two equinoxes every year – in September and March – when the sun shines directly on the Equator and the length of day and night is nearly equal.
The September equinox occurs the moment the sun crosses the celestial equator – the imaginary line in the sky above the Earth’s Equator – from north to south. This happens either on September 22, 23, or 24 every year.
In the Northern Hemisphere, the September equinox marks the start of fall. Enjoy the next several weeks of apple picking and beautiful fall foliage!
Cheers!

Ahhh, the lazy days of summer… Now that we are in August, enjoy the last few weeks of summer!
Did you know that August was originally named Sextilis because it was the 6th month of what was then a 10-month calendar?
It was renamed in 8 BC in honor of Augustus, the first Roman Emperor.
He chose the month of Sextilis to become ‘August’ because that was the time of year that he conquered Egypt, among other countries.
Cheers!

Happy Summer! We hope you had a wonderful 4th of July and are enjoying the warm weather!
Here are some fun facts for July:
- July is named after Roman dictator Julius Caesar (100 B.C.–44 B.C.). With the help of Sosigenes, Caesar developed the precursor to the Gregorian calendar we use today.
- On July 14 each year, people in France, parts of North America, and elsewhere celebrate La Fête Nationale or Le Quatorze (14th) Juillet. Known as Bastille Day outside of France, the holiday commemorates the storming of the Bastille, which ignited the French Revolution.
- July is an exciting month for stargazing and bright planets. Both Jupiter and Saturn will reach their closest point to Earth and be at their brightest.
- July is National Watermelon Month – yum!
Cheers!

Summer is finally here! This year’s summer solstice was on June 21, when summer officially began.
During the summer solstice, the sun travels the longest path along the sky that it will all year. What does this actually mean for us? It will actually be the longest day of the year, with more sunlight than any other day — 15 to 17 hours, depending on where you are!
What’s your favorite activity during the summer? Do you like to go to the beach? The park? Have family barbecues and ice cream? With the warm summer temperatures and abundant sunshine, make sure you get outside and enjoy it all!
Cheers!

When May begins each year, spring fever hits for many of us. The weather starts to improve, flowers bloom, and we celebrate Mother’s Day. Another very important holiday in May is Memorial Day, which is celebrated every year, always on the last Monday in May.
This special day, formerly known as Decoration Day, commemorates all men and women who have died in military service for the United States. Many people visit cemeteries and memorials, and honor those who have died for our country.
Enjoy your Memorial Day celebrations, and please take a few minutes to remember those who have died for our country!
Cheers!
