Tampa Bay Computer Society (TBCS) holds several computer repair clinics
each year in celebration of Random Acts of Kindness.

| Random
Acts of Kindness Week is a global grass roots awareness
campaign and celebration of the power of Random Acts of Kindness as a
counterbalance to random acts of violence. Our goal is to reverse the
tide of anger and violence in our society by deepening our connection
with others through the practice of simple, day-to-day kindness to our
fellow humankind.
The Kindness Movement was
sparked first by Anne Herbert's phrase "Practice Random Kindness
and Acts of Senseless Beauty" and then by a book published by
Conari Press in 1993. The Movement has grown internationally, spreading
through classrooms, churches, hospitals, businesses, municipalities, and
service clubs. |
Since our first annual RAK Week
campaign in 1995, it has been recognized and applauded by President Clinton; US,
state, county, and municipal governments nationwide; and media outlets such as
The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Leeza Show, and ABC News. 
Participation
Random
Acts of Kindness Week is celebrated by millions of people across the
United States and in parts of Canada, Scotland, Italy, Germany, Japan,

Each RAK Week celebration is
different yet all succeed in demonstrating the power and influence of
Random Acts of Kindness to all lives it touches. |
