Monthly Updates Upcoming Events

August

In the Roman calendar, August was originally

named Sixtilis, because it was the sixth month.

When creating the Julian calendar, Julius Ceasar

renamed the month “August” after Augustus

Caesar, Julius Caesar's nephew. Julius choose this

month to name August because he considered

the sixth month to be lucky. Originally, Sixtilis had

30 days in the month, but after being named

August, Augustus “took” one day from February

and added it, so it would have the same number

of days as July, the month that honored his uncle.

The monthly flower is the gladiolus.

The gladiolus symbolizes strength of character,

moral integrity and sincerity. The gladiolus is also

the flower symbolizing 40 years of marriage.

in the mid 1980’s. She is the owner of a pub that

has been in her family since they immigrated to

America. She wants to retire and hand the pub

over to her son, but she must overcome her old-
