&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0pt; background: white"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0pt; background: white"&gt;In 1978, a joint congressional resolution established Asian/Pacific American Heritage Week. The first 10 days of May were chosen to coincide with two important milestones in Asian/Pacific American history: the arrival in the United States of the first Japanese immigrants (May 7, 1843) and contributions of Chinese workers to the building of the transcontinental railroad, completed May 10, 1869. In 1992, Congress expanded the observance to a monthlong celebration. Per a 1997 Office of Management and Budget directive, the Asian or Pacific Islander racial category was separated into two categories: one being Asian and the other Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander.

&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black"&gt;The driving force behind Mother’s Day was Anna Jarvis, who organized observances in Grafton, W.Va., and Philadelphia on May 10, 1908. As the annual celebration became popular around the country, Jarvis asked members of Congress to set aside a day to honor mothers. She succeeded in 1914, when Congress designated the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cinco de Mayo celebrates the legendary Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, in which a Mexican force of 4,500 men faced 6,000 well-trained French soldiers. The battle lasted four hours and ended in a victory for the Mexican army under Gen. Ignacio Zaragoza. Along with Mexican Independence Day on Sept. 16, Cinco de Mayo has become a time to celebrate Mexican heritage and culture.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Written by: Melissa Chiu&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Did you know that there are 7.9 million Americans who have a disability and are working? Also, another 1.5 million Americans with a disability are unemployed and looking for work?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Information released today by the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey provides a detailed look at the employment characteristics of people with a disability. This is the first time the Census Bureau has provided in-depth information about the occupation, earnings, and education of people with a disability.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These statistics show that some of the jobs with the highest concentrations of workers who have a disability include dishwashers, janitors and building cleaners, and personal care aides. Not only do these jobs typically pay low wages, but people with a disability also tend to earn less than people with no disability. In fact, people with a...</description><link>http://www.seminolecountyfl.gov/AnnouncementDisplay.aspx?AnnID=614</link><pubDate>2013-03-20T00:00:00.0000000-04:00</pubDate></item><item><title>Apple Valley UDF Project</title><description>&lt;div sab="1207" style="text-align: center"&gt;&lt;img alt="Hydrant Flush" sab="1208" style="width: 144px; height: 116px" src="http://www.seminolecountyfl.gov/announcements/images/hydrant2.gif" /&gt;&lt;br sab="1209" /&gt;
