The newly formed Random Acts of Kindness Club on the University of Pennsylvania campus has hit a road block in its inaugural year: Laziness. Not uncommon for a college campus, I presume, but the Club is short several umbrellas because of it.

As their first act of kindness, the Club set out a bunch of umbrellas on a recent rainy day and encouraged students to borrow them with the suggestion that they be returned during "sunnier weather." As you might have suspected, several of the umbrellas have not yet made their way back to the Kindness Club.
