I was reading an article in USA Today about two young girls throwing an event - a sleepover party - where their friends produced pajamas for a shelter and holiday decorations for a hospital. I love these stories.
My fondest little dream is that my nephew might grow up to be one of those kids that writes, "In lieu of gifts..." on his birthday party invitations.
Then I saw a link on the page. It said Kindness. USA Today has an entire section featuring stories about volunteering and charitable giving. This newspaper, once known as the periodical for people that only read the headlines, (ok, it is still known as that) is also the place that has some good news.
I can get behind that.
About Me
- Anne
- I am an HR professional, perennial student, and volunteer. I read all sorts of articles on personal finance and also the travel section and plenty of books and I will tell you all about them. I still believe "if you want to get something done, you ask the busiest person". I live in Glenview, IL.
Crowdrise is about online fundraising, event fundraising, volunteering and having the most fun in the world while doing it. Crowdrise is way more fun than anything else aside from being all nervous about trying to kiss a girl for the first time and her not saying something like 'you've got to be kidding me.'
