For years, KZST has been doing “Random Acts of Kindness” in Sonoma County, and now I’m honored to welcome it to my show every Tuesday at 5:15 PM.
Redwood Credit Union thinks like we do
Redwood Credit Union has been doing Random Acts too. One day they called us to share the news that they had set up a special RANDOM ACTS ACCOUNT for us to dip into every week so we can keep saying thank you on KZST.
Here’s how it works: Every Tuesday at 5:15 PM I open our phone lines at 707-284-1000 to look for someone who is willing to go out and do a Random Acts of Kindness.
I come up with the idea, Redwood Credit Union gives me a crisp new $100 bill and you, the listener, get to go out and give it away.
If you have any ideas of people who deserve to receive a $100 thank you, let me know. My personal Email is madams@mysonomamedia.com. Oh, and you might want to drop a little note to Redwood Credit Union to thank them for keeping the love rolling in Sonoma County as well.
So far, we’ve given $100 to people who have been spotted:
- Opening the door at a store for someone else
- Flying an American Flag over their house (what happened was one of the best stories ever)
- Picking up litter on the beach
- Letting someone go ahead of them in line at the store
- Leaving pocket change in that little dish by the cash register
- Helping someone who looked lost in Downtown Santa Rosa
- Picking up their dog’s poop as they took it on a walk
- Putting the shopping cart back in the Cart Corral at the grocery store
- Going on a family outing to see a movie at the theater (it is expensive)
- Volunteer coaching at a kid’s soccer game
- Someone who put food in the barrel at the food bank (they then returned the favor by giving the money to the food bank)
- A School Bus Driver
- Buying textbooks at the JC
… and that’s just scratching the surface!
If you have any other ideas of creative ways to do a Random Act of Kindness, my email is madams@mysonomamedia.com. Better yet just call me when I’m on the air. The direct line into the studio is 707-284-1000. I would love to hear what’s on your mind.
