Veterans Day 2013

This Veterans Day, we honor those who have so bravely served this country.

Thank you.

Daylight Saving Time Ends Sunday!

Remember to set your clocks back.

Most of the United States will be setting their clocks back on Sunday, November 3 this year. Officially, clocks "fall back" one hour, going from 1:59 a.m. to 1:00 a.m.

Exceptions: Daylight Saving Time is NOT observed in Arizona, Hawaii, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. The Navajo Nation DOES participate in Daylight Saving Time, even in Arizona. This is due to its large size and location in three states.

Happy Labor Day from CLAS!

Happy Labor Day!

This year Labor Day will be on Monday, September 2. Labor Day honors the social and economic achievements of American workers.

The first Labor Day was held in 1882, with the first governmental recognition coming from ordinances passed in 1885 and 1886. Over time, more and more states adopted the holiday.

Labor Day is often celebrated as a day of rest and is viewed by many as a last chance for relaxation and recreation before the end of summer. Traditionally, the holiday featured parades, barbecues, and festivals. In modern times, addresses by union officials, industrialists, educators, and government officials have also became popular as more emphasis is placed upon the economic and civic significance of the holiday.

We at CLAS thank you for your business and wish you and yours a happy and safe Labor Day celebration.
