Fresno Office: CLOSED for President’s Day!
Just a reminder that our offices will be closed on Monday, February 21, 2022, in observance of the Presidents’ Day holiday.
Fun Fact: Presidents’ Day is a federal holiday that is now celebrated on the third Monday in February. It was originally established back in 1885 and honored the February 22nd birthday of George Washington. The current celebratory structure came about in 1971 as part of the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, which sought to create more 3-day weekends for U.S. workers. Presidents’ Day is now viewed as a day to celebrate all past and present U.S. presidents.
Enjoy your 3 day weekend!
