Episode 2: The Karma of Kindness. This month Howard County's Choose Civility consortium will declare that KINDNESS CREATES COMMUNITY. It's a simple, yet powerful message and one we should all find easy to embrace. Our guests this episode are Daniel Buccino, Assistant Professor, Clinical Director of the Mood Disorders Clinic at Johns Hopkins Bayview, Tom Coale, Ellicott City resident and is on the Board of Directors for the Ellicott City Partnership and Christie Lassen, HCLS Director of Public Relations. The launch of this year’s theme will set off on a year-long effort to keep that message in the forefront of its activities. From Random Acts of Civility to Open Streets, to Coding for a Community Cause, to Main Street Dinners the idea is that by being kind to one another we can grow into a stronger and more resilient community. The group is hoping the idea is contagious and that kind acts spread far and wide as individuals throughout the community #Choose2Bkind.
