An In-depth Picture of What May Day is all About and the Sense of Community it Promotes

The May Day Committee wants to thank you all for creating a lovely May Day this year. Our community shone brighter on May 1, 2026!

There was more participation this year, as evidenced by the number of pictures we received and many of you participated in May Day gatherings (which supported our theme for this year).   

My personal experience of May Day was very special.  Linda Silver, Julie Taboada, and I worked together to create bouquets to thank the Executive Board Members for their hard work and skilled leadership this year.

Linda, Julie, and I had such a great time working together to create the arrangements. As we made our deliveries, there were smiles, hugs, and even a few happy tears.  Julie said afterward: “I had a joyful time and it was so touching to see how surprised and honored the recipients were.”

Our members' comments on their May Day experiences warmed our hearts:
