Tell Us Your Good Deed

I asked about a lady who was waiting in the lobby at the Senior Center. She usually comes to coloring class and I made sure she knew about it so she can join again.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I am a RSVP volunteer at Worcester City Hall and the Senior Fraud Helpline. It's my way of giving back for all the help and support I have received.

Why are you participating?

To make a difference. I am often judged by my limitations and not my abilities.

Took early retirement and joined the Peace Corp (2010-2012), designed and taught visual arts curriculum for grade K-6 in Piaye St. Lucia.

Why are you participating?

We so seldom acknowledge positive deeds.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I volunteered to be in my town historical commission and we worked hard to preserve land that has a stone chamber on it. The stone chamber (man-made cave) turned out to be part of a ceremonial landscape that was determined eligible for the NRHP in 2011 by the tribes: Narragansett, Wampanoag, Mashpee and Wampanoag Aquinnah of Gay Head, and for spiritual and religious significance by the FCC.

Why are you participating?

Great project to be in.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

As a living statue performer, the foundation of my art is the hope that I might bring a little light and joy into someone's day. I connect with people by simply being present, making eye contact, listening, and using the element of the unexpected to create an opportunity for them to let their guard down.

Why are you participating?

My friend and colleague participated (photographed as Lily, our primary living statue character) at stART on the Street, and I've been following the project ever since.
