Collectively, we are working to expand compassion in our community and engage community stakeholders of all ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before signing on to the Charter for Compassion, the partners wanted to understand the idea of what it means to be a compassionate community \u2014 and to involve our citizens, neighbors, and friends in the discussion. We realized we needed this involvement to help determine what the focus areas of our campaign should be and use this to help inform our campaign goals and objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the idea of expanding compassion and involving our community in this discussion, we first needed to ask one simple question, \u201cIs Lacey a compassionate community?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The resonating answer was \u201cYES.\u201d However, just because compassion exists in our community, doesn\u2019t mean there isn\u2019t room for more. The next question then became \u201cHow can we spread more compassion?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We wanted to bring members of our community together to create connections, share information, and explore ideas \u2026 all surrounding &#8220;compassion.&#8221; In order to have a meaningful conversation, we needed to explore what it means to be compassionate and to take a look at what we\u2019re already doing in our community.<br><strong><br>Lacey City Council Adopts Compassionate Community Resolution<br><\/strong>On May 28, 2015, Lacey City Council adopted a resolution supporting a local campaign for compassion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ci.lacey.wa.us\/Portals\/0\/docs\/city_council\/resolutions\/05-28-15_resolution_1023.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Resolution #1023 Supporting a Local <\/a><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/05-28-15_resolution_1023.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Campaign<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ci.lacey.wa.us\/Portals\/0\/docs\/city_council\/resolutions\/05-28-15_resolution_1023.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> for Compassion<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Top 3 Campaign Focus Areas<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We held a community forum in early 2016 to celebrate the diverse network of residents, schools, businesses, and organizations that provide the framework of compassion in our community. Through the forum, we discussed how we can celebrate, nourish, and expand the invaluable work being done in the Lacey area.<br><br>Through much discussion, we were able to break down and organize the emerging forum themes.<br><br>The main campaign focus areas include the three \u201cC\u2019s\u201d:<br><br><strong>Celebrate:<\/strong> Compassion exists in our community and we recognizes this. We feel it is vital to <em><strong>celebrate<\/strong><\/em> and recognize current and future compassionate acts to help keep this campaign at the forefront of our minds and actions.<br><br><strong>Connect:<\/strong> We need to support conversations in a way that <em><strong>connects<\/strong><\/em> our community to continue building the campaign.<br><br><strong>Create:<\/strong> We need to keep this movement alive and <em><strong>create<\/strong><\/em> an environment that fosters future campaign progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Goals &amp; Objectives<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>With our main campaign focus areas defined, we can set future goals and objectives, while acknowledging they may change with the community and our campaign:<br><br><strong>Ongoing Communication:<\/strong> Continued outreach is vital to keep the movement in motion, which includes both outreach to our citizens, and from citizen to citizen.<br><br><strong>Community Connection:<\/strong> In order to connect people to take action, we created a Compassion Lacey Facebook page (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/compassionlacey\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.facebook.com\/compassionlacey<\/a>) to acts as a virtual portal for outreach and provide a means for ongoing, public discussions. We hope to continue building this network in the future.<br><br><strong>Venue for Recognition:<\/strong> In order to recognize compassionate acts and services in our community, the Lacey City Council will hold quarterly public recognitions during televised Council meetings.<br><br><strong>Take the Pledge:<\/strong> To help raise awareness and keep compassion in the forefront of our actions, we encourage citizens, service clubs, and businesses to \u201cTake the Pledge&#8221; to be compassionate.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-advgb-tab advgb-tab-body-container\"><div class=\"advgb-tab-body-header advgb-tab-class-\">Projects<\/div><div class=\"advgb-tab-_6a2f0f-8d advgb-tab-body\" aria-labelledby=\"advgb-tabs-tab1\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-background-color has-background\">2023-24 Compassionate Community Project: The Culture of Kindness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The City and our community partners &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nthurston.k12.wa.us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">North Thurston School District<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laceysschamber.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lacey South Sound Chamber<\/a> &#8211; are excited to announce the theme of &#8220;Culture of Kindness&#8221; for our <strong>7th Annual Compassionate Community Project.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The campaign will highlight the many ways students, community groups, employees, individuals, businesses, clubs, and organizations display kindness around our community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will track acts of kindness through the end of June 2024 &#8211; we want to reach 100,000 acts of kindness as a community! Help us meet our goal by submitting your act of kindness through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nthurston.k12.wa.us\/compassion\">NTPS website<\/a>. Volunteering, mentoring, listening, seeking others&#8217; perspectives, learning about others&#8217; cultures, and raising funds or items for others are all great examples of acts of kindness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We all carry the responsibility to show kindness and compassion to those we interact with daily.
