The first Labor Day parade took place in New York City on September 5, 1882, organized by the Central Labor Union. The morning got off to a rocky start: police were prepared for trouble, but only a handful of marchers had actually arrived, and there wasn't even a band.

Then, at the last minute, about 200 Newark, New Jersey jewelers arrived by ferry with a marching band. Their arrival got the parade moving, and spectators began joining the march.

What started with uncertainty grew dramatically. Estimates put the crowd at 10,000–20,000 marchers, representing workers from numerous trades. After the parade, roughly 25,000 union members and their families gathered for a massive picnic and celebration.

Not exactly the quiet Labor Day weekend we know today. But there's something fitting about the origins. At its heart, it was about recognizing the people whose work keeps businesses, communities, and the economy moving.

This Labor Day, before we fire up the grill or enjoy the long weekend, it's worth remembering the original reason we celebrate: The people who work. The people who build. The people who keep things moving.

Happy Labor Day!

I finally made it to my first 1 Million Cups, and I’m so glad I did! It was such a great morning of coffee, conversations, connections, and learning from people who are passionate about what they do.

A big thank you to May Herrera, John Marshall Bank for sponsoring the coffee and for supporting this wonderful entrepreneurial community!

What makes 1 Million Cups different from other networking groups is that it gives business owners and entrepreneurs a chance to get in front of the community, share what they’re building, talk about the challenges they face, and get valuable feedback and connections.

As someone who works with business owners every day, I know how valuable it is to have conversations like these. We all have different areas of expertise, but at the end of the day, we're all working toward the same goal building businesses that can thrive and succeed.

I walked away with new connections, some great takeaways, and an even greater appreciation for the incredible entrepreneurial community we have right here.

Thank you David Delevante for the invite! 😊

Two hundred and fifty years ago, a bold idea changed the course of history that freedom is worth fighting for, protecting, and passing on.

As we celebrate 250 years of the United States of America, we honor those who came before us, the sacrifices they made, and the values that continue to unite us: courage, resilience, opportunity, and hope.

Today is about more than fireworks and celebrations. It's about gathering with family, cherishing our communities, and remembering that each generation has a role in shaping the future of this remarkable nation.

Wishing everyone a safe, joyful, and meaningful Independence Day. Happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸 Here's to 250 years of freedom and to the generations still writing America's story.

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember.

At 610 Merchant Services, Memorial Day is much more than the unofficial start of summer. It is a time to honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

Because of their courage and selflessness, we are able to enjoy the freedoms we often take for granted. Gathering with family, celebrating with friends, cheering for our teams, and living freely in this great nation.

Memorial Day reminds us that freedom comes at a profound cost, paid by heroes who never made it home. Their sacrifice, and the families who carry that loss, should never be forgotten.

As you spend time with loved ones this Memorial Day weekend, we hope you’ll join us in taking a moment to reflect, remember, and honor America’s fallen heroes.

To the fallen, their families, and all who have served - THANK YOU!

Wishing you and your family a safe, meaningful, and heartfelt Memorial Day.

We are still celebrating that our very own Patricia Leonard Pollaci was named the 2025 Woman of the Year by the Fredericksburg Area Builders Association (FABA)

This honor could not go to a more deserving person. Even if Patty herself might not see it that way. It’s simply second nature for Patty to give so much of herself to others, always showing up to support, encourage, and lift up those around her. Often with glitter and confetti! 🎊✨

True to who she is, Patty is incredibly humbled by this recognition. But to everyone who has had the privilege of working with her or knowing her, this award comes as no surprise. Her dedication, generosity, and impact on the community speak for themselves.

The Spotsylvania Career and Tech Center Carpentry students made all the awards for this event. Their craftsmanship and hard work helped make this event even more special. Super special shout out to our dear friend Tammy Reid for making Patty a one of a kind award and for keeping the glitter contained. 😂🎊

Congratulations, Patty! We’re proud to celebrate you and all that you do. 👏
