International Left-Handers Day – 13th August
There are about 600 million lefties in the world & this day has been celebrated since 1976. It is a celebration of their uniqueness but also to make everyone aware of some of the difficulties faced, in our modern world equipped for right-handers. It is said that left-handers operate using the right side of the brain, while right-handers use the left side of the brain. Does this mean that only left-handers are in their 'right' mind? Did you know that many of our Amazing People Club honorary members were left handed? Gifted talents such as Mozart, Michelangelo, Einstein, Marie Curie, Mark Twain, Beethoven, Napoleon, Joan of Arc, Marilyn Monroe, Charlie Chaplin, Da Vinci to mention but a few.

Elvis Anniversary 16th August / Int'l Strange Music Day 24th August
These two events don't have any link, however, we found it a bit thought provoking! As we honour THE KING on the anniversary of his death on 16 August, it is also noteworthy that this year marks the 55th anniversary of Elvis' year of firsts. 1956 saw Elvis breaking new ground with his unique style and was known as his 'whirlwind' year. How was his music received? Maybe, people found it strange at first? However, the legend grew and lives on. Has The King really left the building? Here's his story:
