Thank it Forward

ATTENTION.  we are calling on all of you to take a few minutes this week – Manchester Pride Week  - to write (snail mail, email, facebook, scribbled note, however you want) a thank you note to someone – or many someone's -  to show them you appreciate them.  Let’s fill the air with thank you’s and bring some smiles.  Family, friends, people you know or maybe kind of, but don’t really, know.   Don’t let anyone be the one person who doesn’t get a thank you.   Thank you for what?  you pick it – for being a good Mayor, a good neighbor, a good friend, for fixing your car, for being your doctor, dentist or hairdresser,  for looking out for your kids, for being a good uncle or aunt, for being someone who makes you laugh, for being a fireman, or a nurse,.  just be sure you head your meno, letter, email or whatever with THANK IT FORWARD .
