Editor’s Note: The following was provided by a nonpartisan Be Kind Committee.

            You can easily assist a coalition of organizations and community members to support a nonpartisan campaign to reinforce Whitewater’s commitment to civility and kindness. And it’s easy as can be. Just place a Be Kind sign in your yard.

            Signs are available for a $5 donation simply by contacting Sara Kuhl at 608-279-5845 or at email bekindwhitewater@gmail.com. We ask that you put the signs out  in your yard and keep them up until after Nov. 16.

A CommUnity Walk will be held on Nov. 16 to demonstrate the support Whitewater has for all its residents and our shared humanity. The event will start at 9 a.m. at the Old Armory at 146 W. North St. and participants will make their way to the Andersen Library on the UW-Whitewater campus. Refreshments will be provided. In case of inclement weather, the event will take place inside the Armory.

            These are just the beginning of kindness/civility related events that will take place throughout the community in the coming months.
