The Bright Side December 3rd 2023

Beth Duffy
Beth studied Landscape Architecture and in her 3rd year changed majors and graduated from Cornell University with a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Education. Beth transitioned from educating others about home energy conservation at Florida Power and Light Company to several corporate lobbying positions in Pennsylvania. A large segue was from Senior Public Affairs Representative at PECO (then the Philadelphia Electric Company) to Director of Public Affairs at the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Twenty-five years ago, Beth and her family started decorating paper Christmas trees with paper ornaments earned by completing kind acts. The goal was/is to have the tree decorated by Dec 25 and to help keep the focus on kindness and giving. Now this activity is available for all to enjoy with a new storybook and a free companion app and printable craft. The Story is called "The Christmas Tree That Changed The World" and app is called "The Christmas Tree of Kindness."
