I apologize for the November Kindness Newsletter delay. My family and I have been busy relocating to Boise this last month. We arrived last weekend and are finally getting settled in.  I want to personally thank everyone in our Pocatello/Chubbuck Community that helped the CKM make all this possible for so many schools and students. I will forever be grateful for your kindness. My hope is that each school that was funded Kindness T-shirts and given our Kindness Begins with Me Program, will continue to join us and make it their own.

The CKM desires to continue to help implement our program in more schools throughout the State of Idaho.

We have a WONDERFUL ANNOUNCEMENT coming very soon!

I am thankful for so many wonderful individuals who influence and teach our children every day.  Your KINDNESS and POSITIVE EXAMPLE makes a huge difference in the lives of each one of our kids. Please encourage all your students to wear their Kindness T-Shirts tomorrow and to encourage them to reach out to those special people in their life and tell them why they are THANKFUL for them. Enjoy another wonderful day in spreading KINDNESS!

AllState Helping Hands Award

AllState Helping Hands Award

Melanie Mortensen – Helping Hands Outstanding Individual Volunteer

Congratulations to Senior Licensing Analyst, Melanie Mortensen who has been recognized as the

2015 Northwest Region Helping Hands Outstanding Individual Volunteer.

The Helping Hands Awards program honors employees who serve as the good hands in their communities. The program recognizes volunteers in three categories: outstanding individual volunteer, outstanding skills-based volunteer and outstanding team volunteer. Among a pool of 300-plus nominations, 23 individuals and teams were recognized for the work they do in their communities.

Melanie was among the select 23 that received top honors for their superior service and volunteerism throughout the Allstate enterprise.  Additional excitement comes with Melanie’s 2015 recognition, marking the consecutive year a team member from the ID CCC receives this Northwest Region recognition. Last year, it was awarded to Nancy Crawford for her outstanding service.

This year, Melanie and her mighty helping hands gave much vitality and attention to the Community Kindness Movement in Southeastern Idaho.  What began by Mrs. Pocatello 2015 after her child was being bullied at school, became a district-sponsored school program designed to stop bullying at local schools. The collaborative efforts and workings of Melanie and other Kindness Committee members incited a local kindness phenomenon felt across the community. Melanie devoted countless hours of service, fundraising, skill with marketing and social media to platform acts of kindness, school assemblies and city-wide events with one goal in mind. To show kids the power of kindness.

Melanie will receive a $1000 grant from Allstate for her commitment to service. She is planning to award that grant to the Community Kindness Movement to further their endeavors.  The campaign is showing “kind” signs of expansion in other regions. Melanie will also receive an Allstate Outstanding Individual Volunteer plaque.

Congratulations Melanie on your well-deserved award!  The Idaho CCC is thankful, grateful and proud of your contributions! Let’s applaud this Huge Helping Hand Honor by giving a shout out to Melanie!

Roaring with Kindness Parade Float

Roaring with Kindness Parade Float

ROARING with KINDNESS!

We had a blast on Saturday, October 17th, in the ISU Homecoming Parade. We had the best time with all of our “Kindness Bengals”. Boy, weren’t they all so entertaining, it was fun just seeing them all have so much fun! We had many great parents and my hubby, handing out our new Book bag Kindness Buttons. Thank you to all the parents that allowed their children to ride on the float and join us. I also want to thank all of our friends for painting faces all their faces, walking the parade handing out buttons, and for car pooling us. We appreciate all the love and support. We had a GREAT day with friends and family and appreciated all of your KINDNESS! Pocatello/Chubbuck finally got to experience the “Community Kindness Movement” as they ROARED!
