We have done our best to include as many holidays, observances and celebrations as possible. Our world, community, and campus includes members of many groups and affiliations, and we really want this calendar to represent everyone of us. We also did our best to include information sources that were accurate and representative of those who celebrate. Despite our best intentions and efforts we may have overlooked a meaningful day or observance you celebrate and/or linked one of your celebration to outdated or inaccurate information. If so we sincerely apologize and welcome your feedback to make necessary corrections.
