KIND DEEDS TO BE GIVEN ALL WEEKEND LONG
Sunday, April 26th, attendees of the Denton Arts & Jazz Festival will be challenged to do 100 kind things in 100 minutes. But it will not stop there. Kind deeds will be handed out and shared all weekend long.
The festival is scheduled for April 24th thru 26th and there will be a Kindness Challenge Booth set up to do kind deeds for others. Sponsored by The Good Samaritan Society Lake Forrest Village and hosted by idontstink.com, the Kindness Challenge Booth offers a refreshing way to be of service to others and raise awareness of the power of kindness.
“We are extremely excited to be a part of this extraordinary event. We pride ourselves in helping others but this challenge is to get others to do kind deeds also.” says Shannon Ratliff, Staff Development Coordinator at The Good Samaritan Society Lake Forest Village. “I am truly honored to be in the company of so many outstanding volunteers for this event,” says Bill King of idontstink.com, organizer for the booth. “Our goal is to inspire others to take a new look at how they live their lives, and to embrace the concept of doing kind deeds when they leave the event.”
The Kindness Challenge Booth will be offering a variety of kindness throughout the entire festival. They will be handing out stickers, flowers, cards, gifts, coupons, and so much more. When you attend the Arts & Jazz Festival, be sure to stop by and be challenged to do a kind deed.
Kindness Challenge
Last weekend was simply an amazing weekend for me. I am so humbled by all the help from the volunteers as well as
the participants for the Kindness Challenge on Sunday, April 26th. In case you are unaware of what the Kindness Challenge was, here are the details. We challenged the attendees of the Denton Arts & Jazz Fest to do 100 Kind Deeds in 100 Minutes on Sunday afternoon. It was such a success, we completed it in only 41 minutes! We added another 30 cards and completed them in 20 minutes!
One thing that I realized is that it was much more than 100 kind deeds because a number of the kindness cards that were pulled contained up to 10 kind deeds. The totals for the event was 269 Kind Deeds completed in 41 minutes and another 140 completed in 20 minutes for a total of 409 Kind Acts in 61 minutes! Thank you to all the participants of the Kindness Challenge.
If you attended the event or witnessed any of the kind deeds, we would love to hear what you experienced. All you have to do is comment to this message. We look forward to hearing what you have to say.
With love, gratitude, and joy,
Bill
