What a treat it is to have you here as we relaunch an old concept. Thank you for joining us! You may be wondering, "What is a RAK, and what does it have to do with the Lake Norman area -- or any area?" We are here to tell you!
RAK is an acronym used for Random Acts of Kindness. Often, this expression is used for just what is sounds like: when someone performs an act of kindness for seemingly no reason. Here at Lake Norman RAKs, though, we choose to expand that idea to include any and every good thing. Whether an act of kindness is something that one person does for another, something that someone does for an animal, or whether it is a gift that God gives in that moment that seems so randomly perfect...whatever it is, a kindness act can be wonderful, make someone happy, and sometimes even completely make their day.
With that in mind, we decided back in 2008 to create a web site as a sort of "home" for the good news, the kind deeds, the happy things that were happening all around us in the Lowcountry, which was where we lived at the time. The web site was off to a good start, and then we moved to the Lake Norman area and let it go.

Of course, the story does not end there, or we would not be here talking about it, would we? Please check back tomorrow for the next part of this story. Meanwhile, be sure to post a comment today on this blog entry because we may just have some act of kindness up our sleeves. (We do!)
I <3 RAKs :)
