Dear all, Just quote to remind ourselves of the importance of being nice and kind to each other.This year we are focusing on treating the person next to us nicely and making an extra effort to get to know each person in the group. Remember each of us carries it’s own story. Keep in mind that if we are nice to everyone, everyone will be nice to us! Have a great time everyone!
