Wheatsville Co-op Austin, TX

> Hello co-op friends!
>
> Believe it or not, September is almost here! August flew by for me as did the rest of the summer actually. I hope you had some fun and relaxation and that you have some fun planned for Labor Day weekend! The idea of  Labor Day being the traditional end of summer, doesn't have much meaning here in Texas since we'll have another couple of months of summer to get through. But, it's as good an excuse as any to have a picnic or barbecue or go to the lake! Although we mostly forget it, it's also a good time to remember (and thank) the people of the past who fought long and hard for the 8 hour work day and 40 hour work week among other protections that we all take for granted. Here's a link to a site about the history of Labor Day http://www.dol.gov/opa/aboutdol/laborday.htm
