Today is recognized as "Random Acts of Kindness Day".
For this day there is a new message from City of Temecula and it's mayor:
Temecula Mayor Maryann Edwards chose this day to announce "Temecula Cares" as the 2021 theme for the City of Temecula.
Temecula Mayor Maryann Edwards states, “Temecula is known for the welcoming and generous attitude demonstrated every day of the year by our residents and businesses. In 2021, we are shining a spotlight on the many ways that simple acts of kindness lift spirits and build a stronger community." Mayor Edwards adds, “Even the smallest gesture, like holding the door for someone or paying a compliment can improve someone's day. Making a conscious decision to be kind can positively affect the life of the giver, the receiver and the community over time. Let it begin with me."
In 2021, the City will be highlighting the many ways that “Temecula Cares” through City programs and practices. This will include a Remembrance of Life at the Temecula Duck Pond. As a more permanent memorial is being planned, white flags will be displayed at the Duck Pond; each representing a life tragically taken during the worldwide coronavirus pandemic. Temecula residents may request a customized flag to memorialize loved ones who embraced Temecula as their final home, or those who died elsewhere. In addition, each white flag without inscription will represent a resident who graced the City of Temecula as their last home on earth. More information can be found atTemeculaCA.gov/Remembrance.
Because Temecula Cares, an official 2021 logo has been developed for use by businesses and residents who wish to share and promote kindness with family and friends. Additionally, the City encourages the community to go one step further in 2021 by sharing and posting about simple acts of kindness given, received or witnessed using #TemeculaCares or #LetItBeginWithMe to inspire others to find ways to be kind and caring.
