Kindness Week is February 11-17, 2013

 The idea is simple: When we make a conscious effort to perform a kind act, ripples of kindness flow forth.  The grassroots effort

 to promote random acts of kindness firmly took hold in 1995 when the Angels Camp City Council issued a proclamation and

 The City of Angels became the first designated "Kindness Zone" in the United States.  Since then, the ripples of kindness have

continued to spread and now wash over all  Calaveras County Schools in a celebration of kindness each February.

We invite you to join us in celebrating Kindness Week in Calaveras County February 11 -17, 2013. 


“The Seeds of Kindness, Create Ripples 2013” strives to:

• bridge and unite the diversity in our world through kind acts;
• help people value self and others through the expression of  kind acts;
• foster an environment of kindness which encourages individuals and organizations to work together for a better world; and
• support any individual or organization who shares the Seeds of Kindness Create Ripples projects mission.

Ten thousand (10,000) “Pass It On” kindness ribbons will be distributed in our schools and throughout our county. The Seeds

 of Kindness Project works in tandem with Calaveras County schools, organizations and businesses to create an increased

awareness for the positive outcomes, both communally and personally, which are the result of the performance of kind acts.
Light blue ribbons will be distributed county-wide. When a ribbon-bearer sees an act of kindness being performed, he or she will

sign the ribbon and pass it on. The symbolic ribbons are a visual reminder of the importance of fostering goodwill in our own

community and in the world at large.

You may find kindness ribbons available during Kindness Week, Feb 11-17 at the following "Kindness Centers", where you will
