From the Heart Stories

1. The Young at Heart Chorus

Meet a choir where the average age is 80!!! They sing contemporary songs and, in addition to a cd and tour, have just made a movie. :-)





















2. A Book Club for the Homeless

A nurse at a men's shelter started a book club, and now the members are reading and discussing 2 books a month. Yay! Here's the link for more info: http://abcnews.go.com/Business/Economy/Story?id=4361989






3. Julio Diaz was held up at knifepoint, but he ended up taking his mugger to dinner! Read the whole story here: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=89164759








4. Do One Nice Thing


This website was started by a gal who decided to take on small problems that could be solved. It originally began by encouraging people to do One Nice Thing every Monday as a way to make that first day of the week better. Now there are tons of great causes for you to read about and get involved in! http://www.doonenicething.com/
