Scarf in the Park was created five years ago to ho

Scarf in the Park was created five years ago to honor my dad who died on Christmas Eve 1989. Mayfield is my hometown. My mother still lives there, as do two brothers. My parents house is three houses from Kiwanis Park. That area of town was not affected. Our hope is we can host Scarf in the Park there this year. If not, we will donate them to an organization in Mayfield that will get them to those in need. Our overall goal is to provide for Paducah and Mayfield.

You can drop off donations of hats, scarves, socks or gloves at any Paducah Bank location, McCracken County Library, Wellsprings Institute (drive-thru), and Auburn Place Hotel.

If you would like to make a cash donation for us to buy items, please send to Guess Foundation, 150 Rosebower Church Road, Paducah, KY 42003. You may also send donation via VENMO to Susan-Guess-1

Help us keep our community warm. We welcome donations of hats, gloves, scarves and socks for the 5th Annual Scarf in the Park. Anyone in need can come to Dolly McNutt Plaza on Christmas Eve to get what they need to stay warm this winter. Each item includes a message of hope. Questions? Contact me at 270.210.2434 or susan@paducahbank.com.

Our family remains committed to making Christmas a little happier and warmer for those in need in Paducah.
We will host the 5th “Scarf in the Park” on Christmas Eve. Volunteers are invited to join us at 1 p.m. to hang scarves, gloves, hats and socks in trees and on clotheslines at Dolly McNutt Plaza (across from City Hall). Paducah's homeless and families in need are welcome to come at any time after 1 p.m. to collect what they need to stay warm. The items are generally gone by mid-day Christmas day. Over 4,000 items have been shared since the project started.

If you want to help, we are collecting hats, gloves, socks and scarves for men, women and children. Volunteers are also needed to help write messages on cards. Every item also has a hand-written note pinned to them.

We know there are people in our community who will have nowhere to go on Christmas Eve. We also know they will be cold, and likely sad and lonely. When we thought about hosting this project, we thought Christmas Eve would be the best night to show them that they are seen and cared about. No one should go without a present, and we believe no one should be cold. We hope this simple act of kindness gives them hope. Any individual or family in need is also welcome to visit the park and to get what they need to stay warm. We believe that Christmas is truly about giving, and this is a meaningful and memorable way to be a part of something bigger than ourselves.

Scarf in the Park will return on Christmas Eve. We will hang hats, gloves, scarves and socks on clotheslines at Dolly McNutt Plaza next to the McCracken County Public Library. We need collection sites for donations of these warm weather items. We hope local businesses and churches will also collect these items. Christmas Eve can be a lonely night. Join us in giving a gift of warmth and hope.

We reached out to Facebook twice encouraging them

We reached out to Facebook twice encouraging them to add a Be Kind button to their platforms. I can think of no better time to inspire one another to be better. Research shows when bystanders intervene, bullying stops within 10 seconds 57% of the time. At the start of National Bully Prevention Month, we again call out to social media platforms to give the upstanders a pathway to stand together and to stand up for those who experience cruelty.

When Morgan was first bullied, there were very few

When Morgan was first bullied, there were very few people who spoke up on our behalf publicly.

There were those who said our school didn't have any bullying. We all know now that bullying happens everywhere. Unsafe schools are not those with bullies but those who claim bullying doesn't happen there. Fear was so tightly wrapped around the issue that far too many adults let it get in the way of protecting Morgan.

Morgan and I filmed videos and posted them on Facebook. There was one person who decided to stand with us. That person was Jennifer Rukavina Bidwell. She shared Morgan's video and WPSD picked it up. It was the start of a beautiful journey. Over time, education turned that fear to action and we are grateful for a community and state that has raised their voices for creating kinder schools and communities.

Ten years years later, Jennifer hosted a kindness mural on the wall at her flower store. When she stood up for Morgan a decade ago, she gave others the courage to ask for help and share their own stories. Together, we can make the world a kinder place.
