Hi Everyone,
If your Friday feels like it has extra horsepower, that’s because the calendar is absolutely loaded today. From racing legends to local heroes, we’re celebrating the fast, the brave, and the delicious.
The May 15th "Victory Lap":
The Ultimate Office Reward: It is National Pizza Party Day. Whether it’s thin crust, deep dish, or "that one place down the street," today is the day to share a slice with the team.
- The Memorial & Honor: We observe Peace Officers Memorial Day, honoring those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty, and Defense Transportation Day, recognizing the people who keep our military and our nation moving.
The Sweetest Invention: Happy National Chocolate Chip Day! We’re celebrating the tiny morsels that make life better. Fun fact: The chocolate chip cookie was an accidental invention—just like some of the best ideas in history.
- The Need for Speed: Start your engines for NASCAR Day. We’re celebrating the fans, the drivers, and the incredible teamwork that happens at 200 mph.
The Two-Wheeled Commute: It’s Bike to Work Day. To the brave souls pedaling their way to the office today: we salute your quads and your commitment to the planet!
The Heartfelt Gestures: It is Bring Flowers to Someone Day. You don't need a reason—just grab a bouquet and brighten someone's desk or doorstep.
- The Fashion Milestone: Happy National Nylon Stocking Day, celebrating the 1940 debut that changed the fashion industry forever.
- The Vital Cause: Finally, it’s National Endangered Species Day. It’s a day to learn about the incredible creatures we share the planet with and how we can protect their future.
The May 15th Challenge: Bring a flower to a coworker, bike somewhere (even if it's just to the mailbox), and—this is mandatory—eat something with chocolate chips in it.

Best,
Team NDC
