We’re all about event management here at Ennect. So with Mother’s Day coming up we thought we would share a listing of popular Mother’s Day activities and events that Mom might like. We’ve also added some fun facts about the holiday to honor Mom as well. The creation of Mother’s day in the United States can be attributed to Grafton, West Virginia native, Anna Jarvis. In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation asking Americans to give a public expression of reverence to mothers by celebrating Mother’s Day. Mother’s Day is always observed on the second Sunday in May.
