North Dakota sets an example

Fargo, ND and surrounding areas were hit hard and are still at risk, but North Dakota residents are setting an example with acts of random kindness.

"The generosity is so common that even as thousands of people are driven out of their homes by the overflowing Red River, most storm shelters are virtually empty."

"Locals don't consider the outpouring of kindness at all unusual"

Good Deed Inspiration

"When one begins to purposefully perform acts of kindness, the spirit changes and soon doing good deeds becomes a focal point for our life; doing good begins to be the same as feeling good. The periods of emptiness when we search for the 'meaning of it all' begin to fill with acts of kindness."
-Gary Blair

"Positive Patrol" rewards kids for good deeds
Tuesday, March 24, 2009

Congratulations to the Federal Way Boys & Girls Club for winning a Merit Award for their "Positive Patrol" program. The Merit Award is given by BGCA to Clubs for incorporating programs that are fun, creative and effective.

Last spring, the Federal Way Club started running a program called "Positive Patrol." The program allows Club kids to acknowledge the positive actions of fellow members.

If a member is "caught" doing something good, their name and good deed is written on a piece of paper and placed in a jar. Once a week, three names are drawn and the Club kids who get picked get a special prize. In addition to these weekly treats, every patrol member receives a "Positive Patrol" T-shirt, an official badge and two tickets to the local skating rink.
