Be NICE everyday

One of the goals of NICE is to spread Random Acts of Kindness. Many of you have probably seen the movie Pay it Forward. The concepts are similar. Random Acts of Kindness or (RAKs) can be small things like leaving your change in the vending machine for the next person or large things such as an entire school participating in raising money.

Each of us have the opportunity to bring a smile to someones face everyday. It really is fun to look for these opportunities and even more fun to do them. It reminds me of a kids' secret game. I was hooked after the first random act I performed!

Although we have planned NICE activities we want to encourage each of you to commit your own Random Acts of NICEness. Please report them back to us and we will post your act anonymously.So, start looking for those opportunities and after you find one send an email to niceofqc@gmail.com and we will post your act on the blog. I can't wait to see what you all are up to.

THAT WAS FUN!

We all had a GREAT time delivering the treat bags to the homes on Sunday!

We all met in the WalMart parking lot and left about 1:30. We arrived at the first house and were disappointed to find that no one was home. We left the bags for the residents and the staff and headed out to the next house. Luckily, everyone else was home that day.

A couple of highlights for me. One man fell in love with my blue wig and I got a special kiss on the cheeck from him. LOL

A woman was very excited and kept asking, "FOR ME???"

About half way through we all stopped at a gas station to get some drinks and the people inside just loved our costumes!

After delivering everything we finished off the afternoon with Applebees. We all had a great dinner and a great waitress.

It was a lot of fun, and yesterday I heard from the volunteer coordinator that one of the residents is still carrying the bag and showing everyone the special treat she got.

Although we were exhausted when we were done, we also felt good and proud of ourselves for making someone's day. It was only 4 hours out of our lives but it made a lot of people smile.
