Honoring Ali Patrick and her Vision for Surf the Earth MHC

Come and join the community!

On October 21, from 4 to 7 PM, we will come together at Happy's Taco Shop in PETOSKEY, MI, to honor Ali Patrick and share our love for her and learn more about her vision for Surf the Earth MHC.

Everyone is invited to join us!

We hope to fill the time with laughter, heartfelt stories, and cherished memories of Ali. There will be delicious tacos for sale, refreshing drinks, and perhaps even a few surprises in store. It's a wonderful opportunity to connect with friends old and new, all united by the warmth and joy Ali brought into our lives. Whether you knew her well or were simply touched by her spirit, your presence will make this gathering all the more special. Let's come together to celebrate a truly remarkable person and the lasting impact she has made on us all.

Thank you Happy's Taco Shop for your love and support!
We're honoring Ali by launching The Kindness Rocks Project through Surf the Earth Mental Health Community.

 What's Happening:
 Create kindness rocks with messages of hope
 Share tacos and connect with others
 Learn about Surf the Earth MHC and our mission
 Drawing for cool prizes!

We are excited to bring this incredible movement of kindness to our community! Ali believed in "connection, connection, connection" and that mental health conversations should happen everywhere.

As Megan Murphy says, "one message at just the right moment can change someone's entire day, outlook, life."

By combining rock painting with Ali's vision, we're creating a way for people to find hope exactly when they need it most.
Bring painted rocks if you have them, or come make some with us! We will have all the supplies, if you have a special rock you want to pain please bring it!

Let's honor Ali by spreading her light throughout our community and breaking mental health stigma one kindness rock at a time.

Rock Painting Event - Everyone Is Welcome!

Rock Painting Event - Everyone Is Welcome!

Come Paint Kindness With Us at Stroll the Streets! 🪨 Help us Spread Kindness!!

We're so excited to be part of the Stroll the Streets Kickoff at the Boyne District Library — and we'd love for you to join us at our rock-painting table.

Here's how it works: bring your own rocks (we'll have some on hand too, just in case) and we'll provide the paint, brushes, and inspiration. Paint as many as you like — take some with you to keep or give to a friend, and leave some with us for the Community Kindness Garden coming soon to the Boyne District Library.

Every rock becomes a small message of hope for whoever finds it: you matter, you are loved, you are not alone. In the words of The Kindness Rocks Project®, "One message at just the right moment can change someone's entire day, outlook, or life."

Bring the kids. Bring a friend. Bring your favorite rocks from the lake. We can't wait to paint with you. 💛

Spreading kindness. Shredding the stigma. One rock at a time.
