Character Counts in Randolph

Make a Difference In A Day - Saturday October 29, 2011
"Every year on National Make a Difference Day, Randolph can boast almost 200 youth and adults that come out for the day, usually in very nasty weather, either drenching rain or bitter cold and even snow one year, to help our Senior Citizens and anyone unable to keep up with the huge autumn chore of leaf raking.  We all meet at the Fire Hall early in the morning for cider, coffee, and donuts donated by Quality Markets and to put on the t-shirts sponsored by Closure Systems International and form groups and take our assignments.

Little ones will make cards and pictures that are sent to our service men & women, or local fire companies. Canned goods are collected by our Scouts for the Community Cupboard.  Besides leaf raking many groups also help with storm windows or garden clean up.  Once everyone has finished or is too cold and wet to continue, we all meet back at RCS for a free hot lunch provided by our faculty, staff and administrators & Character Counts as a way to say thank you for volunteering your morning to our community."
