I don't remember Pi Day being an anniversary. thing I grew up in the 80's and 90's.
A quick Google search reveals that it was founded in 1988 by physicist Larry Shaw. According to history, it was then an employee of the Exploratorium, San Francisco's science museum, and the site of a dedication ceremony that included a circular parade and the consumption of fruit pies. Com.
However, the day was set aside on March 14 to commemorate the first three digits of Pi (and coincidentally Albert Einstein's birthday), and became an official holiday in the United States in 2009.
I'm a junior journalist, not a mathematician, so I'm not here to explain pi. But I worked as an early morning baker at Hoosier Mama Pie Company in Chicago for about a year, so I can now explain pie making. (Short story: It's a lot of work, especially as Pi Day approaches.)
In any case, Pi Day is very important. thing Today, it is reflected in the huge number of restaurant promotions scheduled for 3.14.

Snooze celebrates women's day
However, before Pi Day, there is International Women's Day on Friday.
daytime dining chain AM Restaurant “Snooz”is commemorating the occasion at three of its restaurants by placing women in every position within the restaurant.
Leadership, front-of-house, and back-of-house (what they call the “heart of house”) roles at Snooze locations in Westminster, Colorado, La Jolla, California, and Houston will all be held by women. .
While Snooze has made great strides in gender equality in recent years, it admits it still has a long way to go. In 2018, there were no women as Snooze's head chefs. Now, nearly a quarter of them do. In the same year, 13% of Snooze's regional managers were women. Today, half of them are. The chain has grown from zero female executives to 33% today.
