Oh.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>My.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>Goodness.<\/span><\/p>\n

The kindness filled the
\nroom<\/i>!!<\/span><\/p>\n

We hosted a Kindness
\nActivist Volunteer Thank You party this weekend and wow \u2013 I am speechless.<\/span><\/p>\n

There was just SO. \u00a0<\/span>MUCH. \u00a0<\/span>LOVE!\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

When you plan a party, you
\nnever know how many people will come.\u00a0 <\/span>I
\nmean, if it is family<\/i> you can pretty much count on people (unless, of
\ncourse, the flu hits\u2026), but when it is community members who have pitched in
\nand volunteered for a cause\u2026\u00a0 <\/span>How do you
\nproject numbers?<\/span><\/p>\n

We sent out invites and
\nasked for RSVPs.\u00a0 <\/span>I think lots of invites
\nended up in spam folders, so I tried to text or message people, too.\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>And
\nstill, I know that some of those who were invited never got the message (I know
\nthis because I ran into one of the people the night before the event and
\ncasually mentioned it.\u00a0 <\/span>They were like, \u201cWhat
\nparty?\u201d.\u00a0 <\/span>Oops.)\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So let me say this from
\nthe get-go \u2013 if you volunteered with Kindness Activist the past year and did
\nnot get an invite to the event, it is probably in your spam or promotions
\nfolder.\u00a0 <\/span>I am sorry.<\/span><\/p>\n

I was afraid we might have
\nbooked an amazingly beautiful and big venue (The Cooperative Plaza Conference
\nCenter in Ballston) and would have only the party planning crew (me, Ixi,
\nKathleen, Betsy, and Heather), a few close friends, plus of course David (the
\nhusband for scale) who I had asked to take the night off of rehearsal show up
\nfor the big event.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

But the people who turned
\nout\u2026\u00a0 <\/span>WE HAD FUN!\u00a0 <\/span>Like, seriously good fun!<\/span><\/p>\n

Y\u2019all \u2013 there were over
\n100 people there!<\/span><\/p>\n

People of ALL ages.\u00a0 <\/span>Of all nationalities.\u00a0 <\/span>Of different faith beliefs.\u00a0 <\/span>Of different social economic statuses.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We were a diverse group
\nwith one very important thing in common \u2013 we all believe in the power of kindness.\u00a0 <\/span>And you better believe we celebrated!<\/span><\/p>\n

We had face painters!\u00a0 <\/span>Thank you to Gray, Dally, and Johanna \u2013 you did
\namazing work and the kids loved it.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
VERY happy guest with face paint
(who also\u00a0wore a light up tutu!)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

We had a photo booth with old
\nschool printed strips of 3 photos \u2013 thank you Eugene you were so patient and
\nsweet (and busy).<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

We had a craft table \u2013
\npeople make their own kindness coasters to bring home and they turned out soooo
\ncute!<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>Thank you Katherine, Emily, and Karen
\n– <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>you went through a lot of modge podge
\nand made people very happy.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Just a few of the MANY beautiful coasters made!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

We had amazing raffle
\nprizes and very excited winners!\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Kids getting ready to reach into the bags and choose the raffle winners<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

We had kid art on every
\ntable and all around the room!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

We had FOOD \u2013 oh we had
\nlots of food!\u00a0 <\/span>Cake, petite fours,
\nbrownies, blondies, sandwiches, sliders, chips, nuts, veggies, fruit, cheese,
\ncrackers, bread\u2026\u00a0 <\/span>And CANDY \u2013 boy did we
\ngo through a lot of candy.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It was just so amazing to
\nsee these people all together in one room.<\/span>\u00a0
\n<\/span>The joy and happiness and KINDNESS that emanated filled my heart with
\nhappiness.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

And so many kind things
\nhappened at the event itself \u2013 unplanned of course.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, three volunteers
\nwon t-shirts for helping us for over 50 hours \u2013 Danyi, Ixi, and Teresa.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>Instead of keeping the shirt, one of them gave
\nit to a French exchange student who had come to the party with a volunteer
\nbecause he is trying to do \u201call the American things\u201d while he is here.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>What a great example of American kindness.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Two of our VERY dedicated volunteers<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

And this is a fun
\none.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>I was walking around right before I
\nplanned to do a little speech, and I noted that one of the volunteers who is a
\nsign language interpreter had ended up at the same table as other volunteers
\nwho are Deaf.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cKismet!\u201d I thought as I walked
\nup.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cYou found one another!\u201d I told
\nthem.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>Nope \u2013 they had not realized the
\nconnection, that they all use ASL!!<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>The
\nDeaf couple had planned to use a speech to text app, but because the
\ninterpreter was there and willing, she interpreted the speech.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>Thank you Jennifer!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Friends were made at the
\nevent.\u00a0 <\/span>Two or three people have
\ncontacted me since the party telling me about the fun person they met and will
\nstay in contact with.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not one but two<\/i> new
\nvolunteers were involved with the event.\u00a0
\n<\/span>Both had independently reached out to me in the weeks leading up to the
\nparty explaining that they were government employees who had just lost their
\njobs in the huge cuts that are hitting our community so badly.\u00a0 <\/span>Both were at a very difficult time in their lives,
\nbut they had realized that volunteering, helping spread kindness, might make
\nthem feel better.\u00a0 <\/span>One explained that she
\nwanted a volunteer opportunity where it would be ok if she broke down and cried
\nin the middle of it.\u00a0 <\/span>Say no more \u2013
\nplease come help us set up!\u00a0 <\/span>So nice to
\nmeet a new friend.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kids were involved in the party
\nand they were so proud.\u00a0 <\/span>We told the
\nstories of some of the youth involvement and other children who were present
\nhave been inspired to start planning.\u00a0 <\/span>A friend
\nreached out today saying her son is talking about hosting a lemonade stand
\n(like 2 girls whose story we shared at the party).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
These Kind Kids all held fundraisers for Kindness Activist<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

A kind neighbor, Mandy,
\ndesigned the beautiful invitation (thank you Mandy!).<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>She
\noffered to make a print of the invite, sans words, for the event.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>It was going to be a raffle prize, but then
\nit hit me:<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>our friend and volunteer from
\nUkraine, Nina.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>The print was of
\nsunflowers, which represent her homeland.<\/span>\u00a0
\n<\/span>It was meant for her.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>Nina\u2019s
\ndaughter was sick and they were also very sad the day of the event, so they
\ncould not attend.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>But I showed the
\nguests the sunflower print, explained it would go to Nina\u2019s family, and asked
\neveryone to hold Ukraine in their hearts and pray for peace.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

One thing I shared was the
\nsuccess of the 2024 Kindness Fundraising Sale.<\/span>\u00a0
\n<\/span>We had kept the amount we raised a secret so that we could share it with
\nthe volunteers first.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>Now that they
\nknow, we can share the details far and wide:<\/span><\/p>\n

Around 110 amazing volunteers<\/u>
\nput in over 500<\/u> volunteer hours on the Fundraising Sale.<\/span><\/p>\n

These volunteers were recognized
\nas Fundraiser Rock Stars:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>Julia \u2013 flew in all the way from Florida to volunteer<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>Danyi – worked herself to the bone<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>Kathleen \u2013 guarded the volunteer room the entire time
\nso that we could leave valuables there without worrying<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>Jennifer, Ferdousi, Yousef, Emily, Andrew, Laurie,
\nLeah, Suzy, Danyi and more – worked very<\/i> late into the night packing everything
\nup<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>Ixi and Mac \u2013 showed up all the time at a moment\u2019s
\nnotice to help<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>Andrew \u2013 just moved to the area, showed up to help clean
\nup but had no idea<\/u> what he had gotten himself into and worked late into
\nthe night<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>Ludjmilla \u2013 who played bad cop to our good cop at the
\ncheck-out counter.\u00a0 <\/span>She is an amazing negotiator.\u00a0 <\/span>She helped people understand the \u201cpay what
\nyou wish\u201d concept and that this was a fundraiser for a very worthy cause.<\/span><\/p>\n

I explained that we were
\nnervous about the 2024 event.\u00a0 <\/span>We had two
\nyears worth of donations (the 2023 sale was cancelled twice due to rain).\u00a0 <\/span>We moved to a new location \u2013 inside a local
\nchurch instead of outside our home where the event has been for years.\u00a0 <\/span>At our house, we have drive-by and walk-by
\ntraffic galore.\u00a0 <\/span>At the church, we would
\nbe indoors\u2026\u00a0 <\/span>And, we have traditionally
\nheld the sale for 4 days (we advertise it for 2, then inevitably continue the
\nnext weekend because there are still lots of items left).\u00a0 <\/span>But with the rental on the church, we would
\nbe strictly limited to the 2 days\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

So, we were nervous about how
\nmuch we could raise.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But we needn\u2019t have
\nworried.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Shhh – preparing to turn around for the BIG REVEAL!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The 2024 Kindness
\nFundraiser raised a total of $13,829.01<\/b>!!!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
$13,829.01 (the penny is not pictured \ud83d\ude42 )<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Isn\u2019t that
\nunbelievable?<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>Just imagine the amount of
\nkindness that can be spread with that.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 2024 Kindness Activist
\nVolunteer of the Year was also named at the party \u2013 Ixi.\u00a0 <\/span>She is so very supportive of the cause.\u00a0 <\/span>She is a board member, a pantry crew member,
\nand has brought her whole family into the fold to help out.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

In case you haven\u2019t
\nguessed it from reading this story, the Kindness Activist Volunteer Party gave
\nme hope.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>It gave me joy, and energy, and
\nlifted my spirits.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>It reminded me of some
\nof the amazing people I am so lucky to know.<\/span><\/p>\n

And it reinforced my believe
\nthat we can make the world a kinder place, one small act of kindness at a time.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
