National Secretaries Week was created in 1952 through the efforts of Harry F. Klemfuss, a New York publicist. Working in conjunction with the National Secretaries Association, later known as the International Association of Administrative Professionals (IAAP), Klemfuss wanted to encourage more people to consider careers in the secretarial/administrative support field.

The official period of celebration was first proclaimed by U.S. Secretary of Commerce Charles Sawyer as "National Secretaries Week," which was held June 1–7 in 1952, with Wednesday, June 4, 1952 designated National Secretaries Day. The first Secretaries Day was sponsored by the National Secretaries Association with the support of corporate groups.

In 1955, the observance date of National Secretaries Week was moved to the last full week of April. The name was changed to Professional Secretaries Week in 1981, and became Administrative Professionals Week in 2000 to encompass the expanding responsibilities and wide-ranging job titles of administrative support staff.

Send your "Easter Lily"

An Easter Lily is a wonderful Gift for the Easter Season. It smells wonderful and just the presence of an Easter lily is so amazing and cheerful it will light up any room.

Caring For Easter Lilies Indoors:

• Choose a sunny or bright location so the plant will receive plenty of light during the day. Keep away from heat sources (like a heat register) since the plant prefers being cool at night.
• Water the plant well each day.
• Once the plant blooms and the leaves begin to yellow, keep watering until ready to transplant outdoors (allow the leaves to die naturally before pruning them from the plant).

Transplanting Outdoors:

• When all danger of frost has passed in the Spring and the soil can be worked, plant the bulb 6 to 8 inches deep in the soil. Choose a location where the plant will receive lots of sun and make sure the soil is well-draining. Once planted, top the soil with about an inch or two of mulch to help keep the roots cool during the hot summer.
• The lily may bloom in the Fall of the same year it is planted but usually it will not bloom until late Spring of the following year (typically May to June).
