Office Closure & Volunteering for A Worthy Cause on June 20
In observance of Juneteenth (and in keeping with financial markets), WHZ offices will be closed on Monday, June 20. On that day, members of our team will be taking part in the unveiling of a wonderful new mural that honors Martin Luther King, Jr. at the Hale YMCA in Putnam – stay tuned for photos!
About Juneteenth:
Juneteenth was originally celebrated in Galveston, Texas, on June 19, 1866. It marked the first anniversary of the day that African Americans there first learned that they had gained their freedom through the Emancipation Proclamation, which had been issued more than two years earlier.
