Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino, Councilwoman Michele Johnson and Councilwoman Laura Maier announce that the Town is launching a new initiative to recognize residents for doing good deeds, as part of ‘Random Acts of Kindness’ week, which is held in mid-February.
“Last year, we honored individuals for their considerate gestures and making a difference in the lives of others,” said Councilwoman Maier. “We are pleased to be able to expand upon that initiative this year and recognize even more residents who truly make a difference in their communities.”
Residents are invited to nominate someone who is deserving of recognition throughout the month of February, which is Random Acts of Kindness Month. The Town will deliver a special certificate to thank that individual for making a difference in their community. Submissions will be accepted through February 28th.
“We want to recognize family members, friends and neighbors for their random acts of kindness throughout the year,” said Supervisor Saladino. “Whether they helped deliver groceries to a senior citizen during this pandemic, shoveled snow during the blizzard, or otherwise helped out a neighbor in need, this is an opportunity to recognize their good deeds.”
To recognize a Town of Oyster Bay resident for their random acts of kindness, simply email details of what kind acts the individual has done, as well as their name and address to kindness@oysterbay-ny.gov.
Councilwoman Michele Johnson stated, “Kindness leads to many good things like better relationships, improved self-esteem, compassion, happiness, future success, and good mental and physical health. Together, let us surprise a good-hearted family member, friend or neighbor for their compassion and random acts of kindness this February.”
