Why the 19th? Why Cake? Why Not?
Origin
Back in 1957 at the University of Edinburgh, a young Scottish man named Bill Black decreed the 19th of the Month as the day to celebrate people with birthdays, anniversaries or milestones in that month. A young lassie on foreign exchange at the time, Carlene White, thought the 19th of the Month idea made a lot of sense.
Fast forward to today. Her days in Scotland may be long ago, but Carlene White, founder of Service Dog Project (SDP), continues to celebrate the 19th of the Month with a cake for her staff and volunteers. Now, the idea of the 19th of the Month cake has expanded to include the recognition and appreciation of First Responders.
Random Acts of Kindness – Worldwide
The local SDP fan who delivered your cake is part of a small worldwide army who follow the daily progress of SDP Great Dane service dogs thanks to the six explore.org cameras on the SDP farm in Ipswich, Massachusetts.
This SDP/explore.org community is extremely loyal and generous, and supports SDP in so many ways, including random acts of kindness - like delivering cakes to First Responders. How great is that? Time for cake!
In appreciation from SDP, Happy 19th of the Month!
