Here's how it works...
The club is a monthly commitment with 13 members (one member = a household) in year one.
Every month club members put in $20 which goes into a pot and the host
kicks in an extra $10. (For you liberal arts majors, if there are 12 families
that's $250 to use for the month).
One family then hosts the club each month. This means they get to
identify an act of kindness to complete using all the money in the pot. It can
be something as random as buying someone's groceries in line at the Jewel or
something more formal like working with a local charity to identify a family
who needs some extra help.
There are no stipulations except that you need to use the money for good
and be prepared to share your act with the rest of the club. The host then
shares the deed by holding a small get together where we all get to hear
about the act (and maybe have a few beers or coffee - you choose). We will plan to meet every 2 months to share our goodness.
The outcome serves a few purposes...
1. It is another way to build community with the BCE.
2. It allows us all - as families- to spend a small amount of time on a
regular basis to pay attention and help others around us. And since
we are all pretty darn fortunate, it's a small thing that may mean a big
difference for our kids as well as ourselves.
3. It may just spark others to do good and spread kindness in ways we may
never see.
We’ve also set up an email address in case you want to include a way to
contact the group as part of your kind deed. It is bcekind@gmail.com
Let’s all crush 2014
with kindness!
