The Rotary Club of Burlington MA turned their lunch meeting into an "all hands on deck" service project & lunch last week. It was the first service project that they've done in a while and the club's support was awesome! Members helped make kit boxes, fill and label them. The goal was far exceeded and the final donation was for 60 kits!
A Kindness Kit is a box of carefully thought out items selected by Connor himself. The kits are delivered to children in hospitals and shelters and are meant to be entertaining, comforting and fun for children in challenging situations.
Prior to this lunch, Connor and his partner Sharon Marrama (also his grandmother) spoke to the club about his idea and what their plans are for the upcoming year. If you'd like to put together a speaking event and/or service project, please contact Assistant Governor, Lori Becker of the Burlington club for more information.
Connor's Kindness Project visited and spoke with members of Rotary Club of Burlington MA about CKP. Connor was introduced to community service at a young age while volunteering at Cradles to Crayons, Dana Farber, and the Special Olympics. He participated in Toys for Tots drives every year, collected donations to animal shelters, hosted lemonade stands to benefit Boston Children’s Hospital, participated in fundraisers for Alex’s Lemonade Stand, made and gave away “Kindness Rocks” and also brought dinner with his mother and grandmother to Christopher’s Haven.
