So I'm going to admit right now that I stole most of this message from PHenry and others, but why reinvent the wheel? Here it is:

Time to get crackin' on the 2016 schedule. We all know how ranges roll - they give all the good dates out to favored groups and offer us Easter and Mother's Day. I know each of you are polite and professional, but be assertive and persistent as well.

Also, take care to avoid "trap" dates. Here's a 2016 calendar: http://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/us/2016
•   Jan 1   Friday   New Year's Day
•   Jan 18   Monday   Martin Luther King Day
•   Feb 15   Monday   Presidents' Day
•   Mar 27   Sunday   Easter Sunday
•   May 8   Sunday   Mother's Day
•   May 30   Monday   Memorial Day
•   Jun 19   Sunday   Father's Day
•   Jul 4   Monday   Independence Day
•   Sep 5   Monday   Labor Day
•   Oct 10   Monday   Columbus Day
•   Oct 31   Monday   Halloween
•   Nov 11   Friday   Veterans Day
•   Nov 24   Thursday   Thanksgiving Day
•   Nov 25   Friday   Day After Thanksgiving Day
•   Dec 25   Sunday   Christmas Day
•   Dec 26   Monday   Christmas Day observed

Think about new ranges and those we haven't been at for a while ....

Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday. � John Wayne
