KindWorks.
now more than ever, and now easier than ever too

 
Summer is almost here, and so are the opportunities for you and your family to Be The Change that you want to see.  Check out the photos of some of the projects we've accomplished this past month, and take a look at the many activities we'll be part of through the next month. We hope you'll join us at one or more!
And be sure read all the way down to the bottom of this email, where we share Inspirations. We love to share inspirational stories; sometimes our stories are of the drops, and sometimes they are of the ripples, but they are always about the change that is possible when effort is made!
We look forward to DOing KindWorks together, and helping to shape our shared community
