During America's Great Depression, a man from Cleveland organized many
people in an effort to provide a small token of friendship to the
underprivileged, shut ins, orphans, and homeless.  Today the holiday has
expanded to include small tokens of appreciation to friends and neighbors
too.  These tokens of appreciation can be small gifts or small acts of
kindness.  This event is repeated on the third Saturday in October.
