Being able to give the children’s sermon at the Naples United Church of Christ this past Sunday was a very big honor. Sharing the kindness we have in our hearts with the power of prayer is a very important lesson to learn at a young age.

Bogart and Bob want to thank everyone who took part in Collier County Kindness Awareness Week. Thank you for making Collier County an even kinder place than it already is.

Very warm welcome at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Parade in Naples, Florida.  There were so many familiar faces of students and parents from the schools across Collier County.

When you receive a note like this, you realize all the work of promoting Collier County Kindness Awareness Week is well worth the time spent:
“Today you came to my school and showed us your program, poem, and Bogart. I am the little 5th grader girl who said Thank you and you’ve inspired me to do more. I have been doing 50 acts of kindness a day.”

650 students from Gulf Coast Charter Academy South in Naples, Florida wrote letters to first responders and seniors as wonderful acts of kindness. We visited their campus today and did several kindness programs out and around the Kindness Bus. It was huge fun for everyone. Thank you to everyone who played a part in making today’s visit a great success.

The children’s group at Naples United Church of Christ was so appreciative of Bogart coming to visit them today. They kept me on my toes with all the wonderful questions and interest in the importance of kindness. Thank you to everyone for making this a very memorable visit during Collier County Kindness Awareness Week.

Thank you to Kelly Capolino, all the volunteers, and the 13 young men of the Boys and Girls Club of Collier County for the wonderful Acts of kindness during this Collier County Kindness Awareness Week.
