Edna Mae Anderson of Tulsa, Oklahoma invited some women to her home to sing on July 13, 1945. Their husbands were members of the Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America (SPEBSQSA). The ladies wanted to participate in the singing fun and enjoyment. On that evening, the Sweet Adelines were born. The group later became Sweet Adelines International., which now boasts hundreds of groups and thousands for members. Also today: Embrace Your Geekness Day Embrace Your Geekness Day is a great day to be a Geek. Or, to know a Geek. A geek is an individual who is highly intelligent (brainy) and technically oriented. They are most often associated with the computer, and computer systems world. A geek is usually formal, studious and into his technical world, often to the exclusion of all else. A geek is closely related to a Nerd. A nerd however, may or may not possess technical expertise. Some people view the term Geek with a negative connotation.
