BEXLEY JOINS AMERICA 250-OHIO CELEBRATION
Spelling “semiquincentennial” may be hard, but celebrating America’s 250th anniversary of independence doesn’t have to be! Bexley has signed on as an official celebration community with the Ohio Commission for the U.S. Semiquincentennial (a.k.a America 250-Ohio), which means we’re taking part in the special commemoration of the founding of our country, and the impact of Ohioans on our nation’s past, present, and future.
Help Us Pledge 250 Acts of Kindness
To mark the occasion, we are encouraging Bexley community members to focus on expanding their own impact through performing 250 acts of kindness. To get you started, we’ve shared ideas here of how to give back—whether to fellow community members, the environment, friends and family, or your school or workplace.
To help us keep track of all we plan to accomplish together, make your pledge here to complete your act of kindness by year end. Our goal is to get to 250 individuals and beyond!
