Taking a leap of kindness

Mar. 2—Members of the Mt. Juliet Chamber of Commerce staff spent their extra day on Thursday taking a leap of kindness out in the community.

"A chamber in Florida started doing this in 2016, just doing a Leap of Kindness Day, where for the extra day you give to spread kindness to nonprofits, doing nice things, whatever you can do," Michelle Shoemake, who works in membership development for the Mt. Juliet Chamber of Commerce, said. "We're in a large Facebook group of chambers across the country, and we saw it and we thought it would be a good thing for us to do. We're planning on going out and spreading some kindness."

Shoemake and Keisha Grace, who handles the Mt. Juliet Chamber of Commerce's investor service and engagement, spent their Thursday morning out spreading kindness.
