Notable Moments: The highlight of the annual breakfast was the young winners of The National “Be Kind Make a Difference Essay Contest” as they each took the stage to share their essays with the audience. Their words left a lasting impression on everyone present. The event also included an interactive project at each table as guests assembled “Kind” packages to be delivered to Be Kind program participants. It was heartwarming to witness the collective effort and dedication put into this project.
