Hello Donuteers,

Sorry its been awhile since my last update, I have been busy working on my move to my official website, www.Donutstud.com.  I have special news to inform everyone.  The first Friday in June is National Donut Day!  This year it so happens National Donut Day is tomorrow, June 5th.  I did a little research regarding National Donut Day and wanted to give a little history about this day.  According to Wikipedia, National Donut Day started in 1938 as a fund raiser for the Chicago Salvation Army.  It was to help the needy during the great Depression, and to honor the Salvation Army “Lassies” of World War I, who served donuts to soldiers behind the front line in France.  Now you have even more of a reason to indulge on this special day.

So you might want to check out your local donut shop to see if they are giving away any free goodies.  Krispy Kreme is giving away a free donut to each of their customers and Dunkin’ Donuts is offering a free donut with a purchase of a beverage.
