See all- Writing Workshops with Duane RoenTempe Public Library, Tempe, AZ
This session's topic: Random Acts of Kindness
Even small acts of kindness can positively affect both those who perform those acts and those who receive them. In this workshop, we will discuss acts of kindness that we have participated in. We will consider why and how we and our friends and family engage in acts of kindness and what the experience has been like. We will each write about one especially memorable act of kindness.
