Happy People Dancing on Planet Earth

Here is a wonderful video that was sent to me by one of our board members, Dani Novak. I don't want to spoil the surprise or meaning, so the best thing that I can say is to take a deep breath...relax...and enjoy the next few moments while you watch the video below:

One day, here at D.A.N., we hope to see students "dancing" around the world as the develop their schools and enrich the local communities. And for all of us, let's all "dance" with a little act of kindness onto another everyday of our lives.

Get To Know The President

This Thursday (November 6th, 2008), the Ithacan (Ithaca College, Ithaca, NY) published an article featuring Do Anything Nice and its members. You can read the full story at "Nice guys finish first".

In light of the article I would like to share a few words. First, I would like to extend a warm thank you to Lauren Barber, the author for her hard work and dedication to the article.

This has been an amazing journey and it has only just begun. In about 6 weeks I graduate from Ithaca College. This marks a new stage in our development and I am confident in our many more successes to come! As we grow our membership expands and the schools and local communties we can help becomes greater. I would like to thank everyone who has been involved with our program over the years. We could not have done this without all of your support, not matter how little it may have seemed at the time. Great things start small.

Please always keep your dreams high, goals broad, and objectives clear. Live with a vision in mind and follow it with a dedication. Stay steadfast in your step. And remember, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a sinle step.

If you are interested in starting a D.A.N. Chapter at your school we would love to hear from you. You can contact us at info@doanythingnice.org or on our online contact form.
