Kindness Alert - Coldwater Lake, MI Doing AOK would like to recognize Emily Ann Staley as our 1st ever winner of the "DoingAOK Kindness Kaptain" award. Emily took it upon herself to host the Tim Stroup Birthday Bash 2026 at her lake place. Not only did she allow us to stay there, she arranged dinner plans at The Lake Shack, captained the boat for tubing, gave guided tours of the surrounding lakes, organized the fishing activities and pretty much kept all of us in line. She also correctly informed some of our group that "shots" are not usually done while tubing and it is NOT clothing optional. Thanks, Emily, for baby sitting the bunch of us and making it a memorable weekend. We all owe you one !

This afternoon I went to the LCC car wash to support the football team and cheerleaders. They did such a fantastic job and were so enthusiastic that I went back to the pay spot and gave them another $5. They worked so hard in that heat!

This young couple, Antoine & Lauren (spelling?) turned this grey, rainy Monday into a much brighter day for my wife,Lisa and I. While unloading my 48 count cases of water, the plastic ripped and bottles flew all over the parking lot. Here comes Antoine to the rescue. Not only did him and Lauren help us corral the runaway bottles, he hoisted the other 48 pack into my vehicle AND returned my cart for me ! Much appreciated, guys and sure made our day. Look around, KINDNESS is everywhere. Thanks again, Antoine & Lauren !

281 reasons to smile! 🛶 Last Saturday, Marie hosted a Trash Warriors River Float on the beautiful Auglaize River, and what an incredible day it was! Together, Marie, Zach, Jaina, and Jordan removed 281 pieces of trash from the river. That's 281 pieces of litter that will no longer threaten wildlife, pollute the water, or spoil one of our community's greatest natural resources. It wasn't an easy job, but every bottle, can, wrapper, and piece of debris collected makes a real difference for the plants, animals, and people who enjoy the river. A huge thank you to everyone who rolled up their sleeves (and paddled their kayaks!) to help protect this special place. Conservation happens one small action at a time, and together, those actions add up. And next time you're out enjoying the parks or paddling the river, remember: Leave it even better than you found it.

I was at Sam’s the other day and a lady walked in wearing a beautiful black & white dress. I told her how I loved her dress and it is beautiful.
