While writing that note I was so concerned with the chemistry that I 
didn't look up Mole Day. Apparently there are alternative celebration 
days.

This does make a good deal of sense. The summer date could be more 
devoted to (likely) out-of-school students, their chemistry and/or 
science projects, and student parties, whereas the fall date could be 
focus on chemistry, chemists, science teachers, and related concerns.
