Operation Southern Comfort

Next month, Operation Southern Comfort will participate in Acts of Kindness (A-OK!) Weekend, sponsored by Women Transcending Boundaries.

Women Transcending Boundaries was started in Syracuse by two women—a Christian and a Muslim—in the immediate aftermath of 9/11/2001. Today it is an egalitarian community of hundreds of women from many faith and cultural traditions.

Last year, WTB created the first Acts of Kindness (A-OK!) Weekend as a way to turn a day of tragedy and mourning into a weekend of civic engagement and volunteerism.

This year, A-OK! Weekend (September 9 – 11) will be a three-day event, to accommodate participants’ various religious holy days and work schedules. Once again, people from all walks of life will come together and work on projects to improve our community, get to know one other, and enhance our general well-being and cohesiveness.

We are developing a list of projects for our volunteers to work on.  If you are interested in spending a day helping in the local community, please contact Warren Machell – 457-6868 or wmachell@twcny.rr.com; or Norm Andrzejewski – 559-9413 or normandrzejewski@gmail.com.
