Last month, I invited you to think about your lollipop moments, what Drew Dudley in his TED Talk “Everyday Leadership” calls seemingly small interactions that make a lasting difference in someone’s life, often without the person responsible ever realizing what they have done.
The many responses we received warmed our hearts. We heard a story from decades ago about a young woman about to leave for college to pursue her dream, who discovered at the last moment that the funding she thought was there did not exist. A neighbor told her, “Just go. It will all work out.” She did. Years later, she passes on the gift of higher education to so many young people by volunteering with your community foundation’s scholarship program.
