Character Really Does Count During a Pandemic: A Chat with Lauren Kay Weber

March 24, 2020 by Dave Wheelan

Share

It only takes a trip to the local grocery store these days to witness someone’s character or the lack thereof. Just a brief look at the empty paper products aisle in the ACME will show a telltale sign of unmanaged anxiety, causing more than a few of us to lose that moral compass. And as this crisis continues to develop every day, it is increasingly clear that character does indeed count during a pandemic.

That’s why the Spy reached out to Lauren Kay Weber, the new executive director of Character Counts Mid Shore the other day. While Character Counts in well known and respected for their work with public school students, this essential quality can be taught to anyone, regardless of their age.

In our Spy interview, Lauren addresses the role of character in the age of the coronavirus.

This video is approximately four minutes in length. For more information about Character Counts in Talbot County please go here. For Kent County, please go here.

    Dear Lauren,

    Welcome to Easton and Character Counts. In a very short time at the helm of Character Counts you have made a great impression and impact in our community by connecting with other character building leaders. Keeping my fingers crossed that the Six Pillars Century Bike event originally scheduled for May 2nd (now postponed) can still be held in 2020 as the most significant fundraiser for Character Counts.
    In the meantime, keep up the good work.

    P.S. Dave looks a bit like Bella Lugosi with that black backdrop.
