Random Act of Kindness Duvall http://rakduvall.com Thu, 16 Feb 2012 23:03:06 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Random Acts of Kindness Week in 2013 moving to Feb. or March????? http://rakduvall.com/blog/random-acts-of-kindness-week-in-2013-moving-to-feb-or-march http://rakduvall.com/blog/random-acts-of-kindness-week-in-2013-moving-to-feb-or-march#comments Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:00:03 +0000 Connie http://rakduvall.com/?p=476 Because of all of the weather issues that took place during Random Acts of Kindness Week this year, it may move to a new month next year.  Not only did we have the weather issues, our family had the flu.  Two members of our family had the flu during the first RAK Week and I got it during the second.  Maybe, if RAK Week is moved out a little, the weather will be better and flu season will be over???????

Whenever it takes place, the message will be the same.  TAKE TIME TO BE KIND!!!!! :o )

Thank you to everyone who participated this year!!!!

Random Acts of Kindness Week/Weeks, turned out a little different than what I had planned.  The important thing is, during this one week of the year, I try and  raise awareness about taking the time to be kind.  Not just during RAK Week, but throughout the year!

I want you to know how much it meant to me that you took the time and made the effort to open your stores.  Thank you also to Sam for shoveling the sidewalk!

Our family did make it into town for a little while, we just couldn’t hit every business that was open.  We ended up cutting our visit short because of the heavy snow fall.

Thank you again for making such a great effort.  I am working on a plan for a “Make – Up” shopping/dinning day in Duvall!
