We are a society that is constantly bombarded through the media and daily life situations where bad character is often tolerated and sometimes glorified. On the following Tuesday, a placard displaying the trait will appear in the Topeka Capital-Journal. In addition, business leaders have already promised to visit schools monthly to teach good character traits. Teacher will be asked to devote a little time to discussing the character trait with their students. Ministers will devote one Sunday a month to preaching on the trait, and business and government leaders and supervisors will incorporate teaching character during staff discussions.
Families can discuss the trait of the month at mealtimes.
Capital City Bank, through its CEO Frank Sabatini, has stepped forward to be the first corporate sponsor of a trait of the month. Other corporations that have agreed to provide funding and sponsorship are Southwestern bell and the Topeka Capital-Journal. Of course, we need additional sponsors to move this worthy cause forward. Barry Feaker, coordinator of the City of Character initiative would love to speak to anyone who might be interested at the end of this program. The early Topeka settlers imagined a great city on the edge of the prairie.
