September 28 brings 17 national days, led by National Drink Beer Day, with International Poke Day and National Good Neighbor Day offering a good reason to set an extra place.

Sample a new beer, visit a brewery, or just gather friends together to share and discuss one of the world’s most popular drinks.
Keep the gathering easy: invite one nearby friend or neighbor for dinner, then ask about allergies and dietary preferences before you shop. A text with a clear start time and a simple offer, such as “poke bowls and dessert at 6,” removes the pressure. If alcohol is part of the plan, buy one interesting beer per adult guest, plus sparkling water, a nonalcoholic option, and enough food. Plan a walk home, a rideshare, or a sober driver before anyone arrives.

Being friendly and helpful to those who live nearby can create a supportive and caring community that benefits everyone involved.
Order poke from a local spot, or assemble it in 25 minutes with cooked rice, cubed sushi-grade salmon or tofu, cucumber, avocado, edamame, scallions, and a soy-sesame dressing. Put each component in a separate bowl so guests can make their own. For the beer, chill a Helles or Japanese rice lager for a clean match with salty soy and rich fish; a cream ale works nicely with a tofu bowl. Serve modest pours in small glasses, and keep water on the table.

No, not that kind of poke—International Poke Day is about Poke, a Hawaiian dish growing in popularity. Visit a restaurant or make it at home to try it.
A National Strawberry Cream Pie Day dessert needs little ceremony. Pick up a bakery pie, or make one in about 20 minutes of hands-on time: fill a ready-made graham cracker crust with sweetened whipped cream and sliced strawberries, then chill it for at least an hour. Cut small slices after dinner and send any leftovers home with your guest. The point is a relaxed table, not an elaborate menu.

Try your hand at making a classic strawberry cream pie yourself, or head to a bakery to get a professionally made one to share with friends and family.
Before clearing up, take five minutes to read a reliable public-health reminder connected to World Rabies Day, especially if your household has pets: keep animal vaccinations current and contact a medical professional promptly after a bite or scratch from an unfamiliar animal. Then use one practical question at the table, such as which local service people wish were easier to find, as a nod to the International Day for Universal Access to Information.

Sample a new beer, visit a brewery, or just gather friends together to share and discuss one of the world’s most popular drinks.

Help educate yourself and others and raise awareness about the risk of rabies, and how to prevent this deadly and incurable disease before it takes hold.

Being friendly and helpful to those who live nearby can create a supportive and caring community that benefits everyone involved.
