It's been 1 year to the day that we hung out our first "Be Kind" sign...now 1 year later and more than 1,000 signs later (according to Doris) we would just like to say thank you to everyone who participated in spreading kindness throughout Cross Plains and beyond...Nice job everyone!
We will continue to supply signs for as long as you like...

Guess who's birthday is Friday (tomorrow)? Doris! who works tirelessly to bring you the Be Kind signs you see peppered all over town. If you have a chance tomorrow send Doris a Happy Birthday wish ~ dgasn41@gmail.com
(p.s We just got a new batch in, including the ones made out of blue siding!)

A BIG shout out to Mary Douglas for the head's up on the free wood on Cross Street and an equally grateful nod to Charlie Klein for making his kid's old play set available to live on in future 'Be Kind' signs. What a cool way to recycle!

They're back!...
Doris is recovering well and through her kindness has made Cross Plains the recipients of one of her first batches of signs. Hey all you campers out there....got a sign for your site? How about one to share with a fellow camper at your favorite destination...?

For those of you looking for more of the 'Be Kind' signs, there will be a temporary lull in our supply as Doris recovers from carpal tunnel surgery she underwent late last week. In the meantime, "Be Kind" and feel free to send her a note wishing her a speedy recovery and thanking her for all of the kindness she's brought to our community. (For those of you who already have signs, you have her email address from the note on the back of the sign.)
There is also a box on the bench outside Salon Fido where you can drop off cards or donations for supplies if you'd like. I will make sure they make their way to Doris...

We’ve heard stories lately about people creating sidewalk and window art for neighbors passing by. A friend delivering flowers to a buddy who’s homebound. Teenagers running errands for the elderly. These acts of kindness can feel so simple, but right now, are touching us in much deeper ways. We ...

The flow of signs are a little slower these days only because the demand has been great! I will continue to put them out as I get them. For those of you who have one don't forget to follow the instructions and email a picture of where you hung yours to Doris. She really enjoys your pictures and notes!

In the meantime here's a little history on where this all began:
