LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


ACR 53, Cunneen. Random Acts of Kindness Week.
This measure would declare that, pursuant to specified findings, the week of February 12 through February 18, 1996, be recognized as Random Acts of Kindness Week, and would urge the public to observe this week with appropriate individual or group activities.
WHEREAS, Random acts of kindness are those sweet or lovely things that we do for no reason except that, momentarily, the best of our humanity has sprung into full bloom; and
WHEREAS, In 1982, an individual named Ann Herbert penned a very special phrase—“Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty”; and
WHEREAS, Random Acts of Kindness Week is a way to counteract random acts of violence, and the first Random Acts of Kindness Week took place in February 1995; since then, the nonprofit Random Acts of Kindness Foundation has been formed, and orchestrates the annual awareness campaign each February; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, the Senate thereof concurring, That the week of February 12 through February 18, 1996, be recognized as Random Acts of Kindness Week, and that the public be urged to observe this week with appropriate individual or group activities; and be it further
Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly transmit a copy of this resolution to the author for appropriate distribution.
