An 'Acts of Kindness' Challenge

The Lions International service club puts an emphasis on acts of kindness. It even has an "International World Kindness Day." But, you don't have to be a member to participate in the practice.

Maryanne and Jerry Gordon, longtime members of the Albany-Troy Lions Club, are helping spread the practice as part of their club's 100th anniversary celebration. The idea is to challenge other organizations to initiate 100 acts of kindness.

As Maryanne explained at Friday's "Terrace Holiday Luncheon," they are challenging the Terrace at Highpointe community to collectively perform 100 acts of kindness. All you have to do to help the count is to (a) undertake such acts, (b) write it down and sign it (or remain anonymous if you wish), and ( c) deposit the note in the white mailbox located below the bulletin boards in our mailbox gazebo. Jerry regularly checks that mailbox.

Those in attendance accepted Maryanne's challenge. So, let's give it a shot as a community. Such things undoubtedly help make the world a better place.
