Received a phone call from a wonderful lady who works for Cornell University, and she asked if they could write a story for the Alumni news about our storybook, craft and app. She and their team of talented writers did an amazing job and the story appeared in the “Bear Hugs” section of the news – “Bear Hugs celebrates heartwarming stories of Cornellians on the Hill and around the world.”

The story was introduced in this way:

For This Alumni Couple, Acts of Kindness are the Best Holiday Decor

From the time their two children were very young, Beth Dessen Duffy ’82 and Dan Duffy ’82 both Cornell University College of Agriculture and Life Sciences alumni, found a way to teach them the true meaning of the holiday season – using some construction paper and some creativity.

Hope you consider decorating your own Christmas Tree of Kindness this year!

Our thanks to everyone who worked on this project and #GoBigRed and #GoKindness!
