Random Acts of Kindness Update Week of 3/12/13

Good Morning!!!! 

Threads of Grace Day at the Studio was busy with helpful hands:)  Thank you for coming out and supporting such a great charity!  We were able to donate a lot of great stuff and they were overwhelmed with joy when I dropped everything off yesterday. ( I attached a picture of all the donations )

Our  Group Random Acts of Kindness 2013:)))) event is Saturday, March 23 @ 10 AM.  We will meet a few minutes before to hand out gift tags and make a plan of action. The Food Lion in Wake Forest is located at 12295 Capital Blvd  Wake Forest, NC 27588.  Let's wear our Tshirts and pray for no rain!  If it does rain, bring an umbrella so we can offer walks to the front door to customers:))))

March 29th @ 6 PM we will have a planning meeting for the Garden of Kindness event in April.  We will meet at Pick A Class and it shouldnt take longer than 30 to 45 minutes.  I will have a few snacks and refreshments for us.

April 6th at 10 AM is our Group Random Acts of Kindness 2013:)))) event!  We will be planting a Garden of Kindness at the North Wake Senior Center.  All the help we can get will be needed so invite friends, neighbors and coworkers!

Carmen Alu shared a Personal RAK this week that makes my heart happy:
          From a person perspective, my recent RAK was something that came out
          of a meeting with a potential contractor.  He came to our home to give
          us an estimate.  Chances are we are not selecting him but he informed
         me that he and his family does a lot with their church and next week
         will be hosting a family from another country.  You can imagine the
         costs associated with such a thing so I donated $50 to the cause.
        It's not much but it should help.

I am finding that I look for new ways and opportunities to spread kindness--I take a few extra minutes to thank cashiers, hold doors open and offer praise when a job is done well.  For example, there is a woman that works at The Dollar Tree here in Wake Forest and she is ALWAYS so helpful, friendly and personable.  This past week, I took some extra time to thank her for her extra efforts....she was so pleased and I am so glad I was able to share some kindness with her.
