Initiative Launched In Donegal Area To Foster Kindness On Feb. 14, the Donegal School Board issued a proclamation kicking off the Donegal community initiative known as “Love Your Neighbor.” “What would be more appropriate than promoting a kindness campaign beginning on Valentine’s Day?” commented Christina Helfrick, a social worker in the district. The idea for the “Love Your Neighbor” initiative began with the Donegal Performing Arts Club. When the club chose Cole Porter’s “Anything Goes” as its spring musical, some community members voiced concerns about racially insensitive lines and actions in the show. Rather than choosing another musical, the club decided to honor the history of theater and use that history to address the issue head-on. See Kindness Campaign pg 9
