For each of the past 5 years, Vicki and Terry Carstenn of Oconomowoc (WI) have joined with One Warm Coat to organize winter coat drives. This month, their dedication was recognized on a national level! They were invited to share their helpful hints and tips in the AARP member newsletter as part of AARP’s Create the Good campaign! Congratulations, Vicki and Terry, and thank you for using the opportunity to make others aware of the need for warm coats and how easy it is to make a difference. We’re thrilled to be part of the good work that you do!

I’ll be taking a healthy snack to my favorite Girl Scout Leader tomorrow, May 3rd — we are a big fan of First Book, a non-profit that provides new books for children in need.

One small KIND act from you can make a BIG difference in the lives of those who really need it. Do the KIND Thing and help to make possible the BIG KIND Act of providing new books to children from low income families across the country. Visit www.KINDsnacks.com/world/mission to accept the KINDING Mission and get us one step closer to making the BIG KIND Act happen.
