USA - If you’re like many Americans, your mother warned you to always wear clean underwear in case you were “in an accident!” Although there are probably better reasons to wear fresh underwear, this is the one that most often comes to mind.
The national underwear manufacturer, Freshpair, has taken the idea of fresh underwear one giant step further. They’re inviting everyone to participate in setting a new Guinness World Record by wearing their underwear to Times Square on “National Underwear Day,” August 5 at 5 p.m. EST. The current record is 2,270. Can you imagine that many folks out in Times Square?
Freshpair founded National Underwear Day on August 5th, 2003. This year they are reaching out to “… cancer survivors struggling to regain their lives, men and women suffering with poor body image, and young and old embracing their sexuality.”
If a trip to New York City isn’t in your travel budget, you can still celebrate by watching the 1983 romance comedy “Risky Business” starring Tom Cruise and Rebecca De Mornay.
Freshpair also participates in the annual Underwear Run in Manhattan with over 500 people dressed in their underwear. Celebrate America was the theme event.
So the next time you have to give a speech and someone says, “just imagine everyone in their underwear!” You can declare, “August 5th is National Underwear Day! Always have a FreshPair on!”

Dexter, Missouri - The Rotary Club of Dexter recently hosted their 8th Annual Golf Tournament. Each year the proceeds from the tournament are used for community service projects, student scholarships and other worthy causes and this year was no different.
With their motto, “Service Above Self” the Rotarians chose to donate half of the proceeds to the victims of the Moore, Oklahoma. A tornado in May of 2013 practically wiped the town off the map.
Linda Puchbauer, Assistant District Governor of the Rotary was on hand Tuesday evening at Hickory Log to receive the check from the previous Rotarian President, Mr. Ken Harris.
Ken was instrumental in spearheading the idea of donating to such a worthy cause and made every effort to help make this year's golf tournament enjoyable. Along with several members of the Rotary Club, the tournament thrived with success. In all, a check was donated in the amount of $3,050 to help those affected by the tornado.
The Rotary Club felt that supporting the relief and recovery efforts related to this tragic event was important because so many families suffered. More than 13,000 homes were destroyed or damaged, in addition to businesses and schools.
