A friendly email from the Volunteer Center of Southern Nevada today reminded me that February 9 through 15 is National Random Acts of Kindness Week. Whether you are a local or live elsewhere, there is opportunity for you to spread kindness and generosity in your communities in your own way.
Here are some nice recommendations to do your part, courtesy of VCSN:1. Write a thank you note to someone who as impacted your life positively
2. Feed someone in need: give your sack lunch to a homeless person
3. Donate blood to a local blood bank
4. Help your neighbor with household chores or yard work
5. Hold a food or supplies drive at work or school and donate the goods to a charity in need
6. Say something nice to everyone you encounter for one day
7. Give of your time: read to a child
8. Donate your gently used coats or clothes to a shelter
9. Plant a tree in your community
10. Volunteer your time to any cause that interests you.
P.S. Local Tweeple and bloggers: This Thursday, February 12th, Las Vegas Twestival 2009 will take place at The Beatles Revolution Lounge at the Mirage Resort. All proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to charity: water projects. It's a chance to network locally while helping out globally!

Hi Down,
I have been doing some reading here and I think you are great funny, intuitive, sincere, and drink beer.
Do something nice every week is the key. If you do a little something nice as often as you can the world would a much nicer place. Doesn't have to be anything big it is the little things that make the difference, kind of a teamwork thing.
Thank you for the post, I am going through the sites that are featured on the beer and blog site to show a little appreciation to the members in Las Vegas. Don't really have time to do this but I am making time to leaving a comment of appreciation where I can.
Great site.
Thank you for having me.

Brad - I agree: doing something nice for someone else periodically makes for happier people and hence a brighter world!
Thanks for stopping by! Hope you'll visit again soon :-)
