When it comes to event themes, April is just full of them. According to one website, there are at least two dozen different themes, including National Garden Month (good reminder to mow your lawn and pull some weeds) and National Humor Month (Ha!).

But did you know that here in Washington and many other states, April is also Records and Information Management  Month? Here is this year’s official state proclamation, signed by Gov. Inslee.

RIM Month is designed to promote the professionals working in this field and to emphasize the importance of organizing and maintaining records in any format – paper, electronic, microfilm or magnetic.
