New Year’s Day
January 1 marks the end of the previous year and the beginning of the New Year. The event is often celebrated with fireworks at midnight on December 31. It is also customary to make New Year’s resolutions on this day. New Year’s Eve is the time to bid farewell to the worries of the past year and New Year’s Day is the time to look toward the future.Martin Luther King Jr.
Each year on the third Monday of January Americans celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day. This holiday honors Dr. King’s work towards nonviolent social change in America and the world. This day symbolizes our nation’s commitment to a democratic society based on the principles of freedom, justice and equality for all people.Washington’s Birthday/President's Day
George Washington has always been a towering figure of American history. The observance of Washington’s Birthday was made official in 1885 when President Chester Alan Arthur signed a bill to establish as a federal holiday. In 1968, the Uniform Holidays Bill was passed and closed federal holidays to designated Mondays instead of the fixed calendar date. So, even though the bank will be closed on President’s Day, we will be officially celebrating Washington’s Birthday.Memorial Day
Memorial Day was first established in 1868 to honor fallen soldiers from the Civil War. The holiday was not recognized by the southern states until after World War I. In 2000, a National Moment of Remembrance was passed, which asked Americans to take a moment of silence to remember, honor and respect those who had fallen in war bravely serving our country.Juneteenth
On June 19, 1865, federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas to take control of the state and ensure that all enslaved people be freed. This, however was two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation went into effect January, 1863. This day, the oldest known celebration commemorating the end of slavery in the United States, has become a day for African Americans to celebrate not only their freedom, but their history, culture and achievements."On Juneteenth, we recommit ourselves to the work of equity, equality, and justice.

Independence Day
On July 4, 1776, a five-man committee designated by the Continental Congress adopted a document written by Thomas Jefferson – the Declaration of Independence. The President of the Continental Congress, John Hancock, then signed the document. The Declaration of Independence is a symbol of America’s independence from Great Britain and a promise to adhere to a certain group of ideals. Independence Day is a celebration of the birth of America.“I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
