10/20 Class - Preparing for South Station Kindness Bag Giveaway

Way to go kids. You did an amazing job preparing for next week. In 80 minutes the production team (Wilnie, Tyuen, Francis, Mirkovens, Deborah, Arvonne, Nicolas, Patrick and Lee Ann from Fidelity Cares.....thanks so much Lee Ann) packed 350 "kindness bags" and our marketing team (Jeremy, Jordan, Luis, and Adrian) also made 4 large signs for next week. You took the job seriously and worked all the way to the end. And that was a good thing because we packed the last bag just in time for the bus. Each bag is full of treats including 2 hershey kisses, halloween pretzels, a small bag of cookies, a custom fortune cookie with a special kindness message, 1 quarter for a parking meter, a brief description of who we are and why we are doing this, and our business cards. We can't wait till next Tuesday, 10/27, when we are able to give Bostonians a treat and give them away, and hopefully in return will see and hear about their acts of kindnesses on our blogsite.

Also want to point out a question that came up in the beginning. Aliyah asked if she could do something special, be a hero like RandomKid and Talia..............and the answer to all of the kids in the class and all over........is ABSOLUTELY YES...As Talia Leman says, we all have "the power...the power of anyone" to do something truly special.

Other things that came up during the class of note. Aliyah also asked if we could do something for Breast Cancer.....great idea and we will think about how to incorporate that. Deborah asked if she can talk to people next week at South Station when we hand the bags out...of course...that is part of the fun.

Again, a special thanks to Lee Ann for printing out 350 business cards and 1 page descriptions of the contents of the bag and who we are...we couldn't have done it without you.
