Random Acts of Kindness for Forsyth County – Week Two Last week we kicked off our 2nd year of “Kindness in Forsyth” – spreading random (or semi-random in some cases) acts of kindness throughout Forsyth. This was the 2nd year we’ve highlighted it. Are you joining us? We’d love to hear about it!! Spread some kindness and love throughout Forsyth … we could all use a little unexpected happiness in our lives, right? Each week, we’ll put together a new list of some ideas. Use these or come up with your own and help spread some kindness each day. Ideas for Week Two: 1. Write a note or draw a picture and mail to surprise someone. It will be fun for someone to receive it unexpectedly! 2. Surprise someone at a vending machine – leave enough money with a small note for the next person to buy a drink or snack. 3. With sidewalk chalk, draw a cheerful picture or not on an un-expecting neighbor’s driveway. (Maybe don’t pick the mean, grumpy neighbor just in case they don’t appreciate the gesture – boo!). 4. Think of a Veteran or someone actively serving that you can bless this week – maybe a hand written thank you note, a gift card, or a meal. 5. Surprise a construction worker with a thermos of hot chocolate on a cold morning or bottled water in the afternoon. 6. Check out our “Volunteer Opportunities in Forsyth County” list – call one of these organizations and say YES to one of their opportunities / needs. 7. Bake a Treat & surprise someone. Spread...

Spread some kindness and love throughout Forsyth … we could all use a little unexpected happiness in our lives, right? Each week, we’ll put together of list of some ideas. Use these or come up with your own and help spread some kindness each day. Ideas for Week One: 1. Surprise a co-worker (or maybe your child’s teacher) with their favorite hot beverage. 2. Roll the Trash Can in for a neighbor after weekly pickup. 3. Mail a Thank You Note to the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office, Fire Department or Cumming Police Department. 4. Take a Thank You Note to the Librarian – maybe after story time one day this week. 5. Instead of “venting”, BRAG about one of your favorite local stores on Facebook or Twitter – make sure your friends know where to shop in Cumming! 6. Return someone’s shopping cart for them at the grocery store. 7. Surprise a friend with a phone call (not a Facebook message, text or tweet) or go one step further & take them out to lunch!
