2011 KINDNESS WEEK
Proclamations Signed in Indiana designating Pay It Forward Week - April 28, 2011 - May 7. Governor Mitch Daniels, Indiana, has signed a proclamation setting these timeframes for Indiana's Pay It Forward acts of kindness. Won't you get involved and make a difference in our community?!?
The Extra Milers Carol A. Dawson, Columnist The Evening News/New Albany Tribune, Indiana http://www.eeoguidance.com (see Extra Miler link to the right of the home page).
Southern Indiana Extra Milers are a wonderfully diverse group of individuals who serve others in various capacities. They perform their good deeds and acts of kindness for no other reason but to lessen the load for those less fortunate. These Extra Milers do not seek the front page of the newspapers and typically are extremely uncomfortable with any recognition for themselves.
The individual columns about these extraordinary people can be read on the Evening News/New Albany Tribune web site at: http://www.news-tribune.net/extramilers or go to: http://www.eeoguidance.com/eeoguidance/extramilers.asp (go to the Extra Miler link to the right of the page).
Southern Indiana wants to take the lead in Indiana and in the country for acts of kindness throughout 2011. MARK YOUR CALENDAR FOR APRIL 28 - OR USE THE ENTIRE WEEK OF APRIL 28 - MAY 7, 2011 (OR BETTER YET, YEAR!) TO PERFORM ACTS OF KINDNESS...RANDOM OR PLANNED.
We will be posting acts of kindness that week from both the receivers and the do-ers, although those who perform the acts of kindness may remain anonymous. Southern Indiana hopes to create many new ideas on how to pass on kindness.
