Random Acts of Kindness

February 14-20

Random Acts of Kindness Week is a celebration dedicated to reminding everyone of the positive benefits and effects of kindness.  Kindness is good for both the giver and the person receiving the kind gesture. 

A compliment.....help provided.....a favor done.....it makes each person feel special.  When someone does a generous deed for another, a series of Kind Acts is set in motion and Kindness repeats across the community.

Performing acts of kindness not only benefits the receiver of kindness but the doer as well. In fact, practicing kind acts has been proven to benefit both one’s mental and physical health!

Wanted.....an act of kindness.

The Bluffton News-Banner would like to identify and recognize the kindness that makes Wells County the special place it is.  They are accepting stories about a kind person or persons that you know.  They will publish as many stories as possible and choose one outstanding act of kindness and present a $100 reward to the deserving person or persons.

Type or print your stories and bring or mail them to 125 North Johnson Street.  They may also be emailed to newsroom@news-banner.com.

Judging will not be based on the writing, so don't worry they can do the editing.  Stories are to be submitted by Feb. 20.
