In 2011 we…

• Offered 270 mind-body-spirit, service-charity, or fun-social events

• Fed over 1,800 patrons at A Just Harvest
• Made 360 sack lunches for the residents at Lincoln Park Community Shelter
• Gave out more hugs than we could possibly imagine
• The founder, Carol Miller, was recognized as LiteFM Woman of The Week for having a positive impact on the City of Chicago. CLICK HERE to hear the interview.
• We held the 6th Annual Global Free Hugs event
• We laughed, grew, made new friends, and empowered each other to live life fulfilled.

Are you a positive person who wants to be part of a dynamic team promoting positivity locally and globally? How about note taking and keeping a creative team focused and organized? Are you interested on serving on a nonprofit board? If so, we may be looking for you!

As we move into 2012, we are looking for a secretary/organizational manager for Positive Focus, NFP.

Email PF@positive-focus.com and let’s talk.

Shout out to all who volunteered for the Rock ‘N Roll Half Marathon. You were fantastic! Despite the rain, you made a huge difference in making the runners comfortable and your enthusiasm was contagious. Thank you again for all your help. The City of Chicago is lucky to have such a great community of people!
