12 May 4, 2022 The idea of creating a Mother's Day was first proposed by American poet and activist Julia Ward, who in 1870 wrote the Mother's Day Proclamation as a call to unite mothers against losing children to war. The concept of Mother's Day gained renewed traction in 1908, when Anna Jarvis began campaigning to create a day honoring mothers and peace. Within a few years, many U.S. states and Canadian provinces were observing Mother's Day on the second Sunday in May. American President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed it an official U.S. holiday on May 8, 1914, and today Mother's Day is celebrated in dozens of countries around the world. , Top 5 y Mother's : Day Gifts 3.al1U.S. bi $2Tot ll io n <~ a , — ee s “F io Re we in rs : ” Mother’s of mothers are Day Spending solo parents of shoppers purchase Outings & Dining of moms with, children under 18 are in the labor force Pow Research Contor 2018 Baraca everdoe spending Si Sardis daecon Rares TrTwOrre Great Plains Bank : QuaLiry® Don’t Pay More to Cover Your Fi ue MEMBER FDIC scctaniakeftaeencen est Third « Elk City, 2017 W. 3rd, Elk City + 1300 S.
