A-OK! has two upcoming opportunities to spread cheer in the community in celebration of Valentine's Day with the Newbury Council on Aging. We are putting together a flash dance compilation video with submissions from the community. Rachael Hall has choreographed a dance to 'Put a Little Love in Your Heart' and we would love for you to send in your own recording of the dance. Sections of the submitted recordings will be edited together and the completed video will be released by February 14th on Local Access Channel 9 and the Town of Newbury YouTube Channel. Here is the song:

Acts of Kindness Troupe Pay It Forward
Mrs. Fix has asked the troupe members to create a ripple of kindness by giving them each $100 to use for community service. Here are some of the creative ways they have paid it forward:
|
Brock made a donation to the Exchange Club of Lawerence to purchase planes for the aviation program. This program provides a safe place for kids to build and fly remote planes after school. Chris Rines (seen in picture) with GLCAC, Michael B. Christian Center, have gladly accepted this donation to purchase the materials needed for up coming class of aviators.
They have also asked Brock to visit once the upcoming season starts! 
|
Great idea Michael!
Alec is working with the Newbury Food Pantry to pay kindness forward.
Here she is collecting canned foods during the parade!

Haleigh supported the Community Giving Tree with clothing donations for children! Here she is with Rosie Turgeon, Development Director of Community Giving Tree.
