Featured in the Contests & Activities Newsletter 12/06/07  "Practice Random Kindness, and Senseless Acts of Beauty." I believe that Writing.Com embodies this beautiful quote in a wonderful way. Here, I have found a community inspiring and encouraging beyond imagining. This Holiday season, in conjunction with "Invalid Item"  , let's give back to the community in an even more senseless and beautiful way through the Kindness Tree. Thank you katherine76 for the beautiful ribbon!  Here's how it works: This event will start on November 28, 2007, and will end December 21, 2007. Nominate another fellow writer here on WDC to receive an ornament from the Kindness Tree. Post that person's name, along with a few kind words, in the forum below. Then, according to Virtual Dice, that person shall receive either reviews, Merit Badges, 10K Awardicons, sigs, or other goodies.  Each person can receive a nomination only once. Only five nominations per person, please! Want to know the logistics and see the list of nominees? Check out "The Kindness Tree Fund Box" . You, the nominator, will be automatically entered into a raffle to win fabulous prizes, ranging from Upgraded Memberships to Merit Badges to Reviews! But there's a catch - You Must Nominate Someone that You Do Not Know.  When nominating, please use the {user:nominee} tag The spirit of the Kindness Tree is to distribute senseless acts of kindness to strangers. How will I know whether you are friends with the person you nominate? I won't. I am hoping that everyone will adhere to that rule with the Holiday Spirit in mind and with the desire to brighten up a stranger's day. We have a pretty loose definition of "stranger" here.  Basically, anyone you do not talk with frequently fits the bill.REMEMBER.....  All nominators will be entered in a raffle for prizes like Merit Badges, reviews, and GPs. Depending on the number of nominators we have, the number of prizes will increase proportionally.
Check out the following resources to find someone to encourage: "Writing.Com General Discussion" "The WDC Angel Army" "Noticing Newbies" "Invalid Item" http://www.writing.com/main/current_users Donations will always be appreciated and all GPs will be used to grant gifts from the Tree. All donations 25,000 GPs and higher will receive a Merit Badge in gratitude. If any GPs are left over after this event, they will be donated to "Invalid Item" . Please send all GPs to Group #1352545. Donations can be more than just GPs. If anyone is willing to offer other prizes or incentives to add as ornaments to the Tree, please let me know!

"Kindness does not require us to be blind to facts or to live in fancies, but it does require us to cherish a habit of goodwill, ready to show pity if sorrow appears, and slow to turn away even if hostility appears." ** Image ID #1307066 Unavailable ** |
