1. Take The Manners Lady's 2010 Challenge:
Manners, civility, kindness and customer service! These will all be vital character qualities and skills as Vancouver prepares to host the 2010 Winter Olympics.
The WORLD is coming to Vancouver for the Olympics! But the world is already here! Don't wait until 2010 to start reaching out and showing kindness and hospitality to the wonderful multicultural community that has come to live in Vancouver.
Get to know them. Invite them over for coffee or dinner! They work at your company and go to your school and play on your soccer teams!
Getting to know someone starts by smiling and saying "Hello!" It's even more special if you can learn to say "hi!" in their language. Of course they speak English or are trying to learn, but their first language is the language of their heart!
TAKE THE 2010 Challenge!
Get ready for the Olympics by learning to say "Hi!" in the language of everyone at your school, church, temple, mosque, team, etc. Then we'll learn "hi!" in all the languages that will be represented at the Olympics!
