Make sure you have some inexpensive things in there. Post this list in the “FAVORITE QUOTE” section of your profile on the GISH app. Then, click around app users near you to look for their wishlists.

Post an image of the gisher with the item you gave them before the end of the hunt (with a sign that has their username). Not on the GISH app?

The last Saturday of every month, all citizens of Rwanda must all come together to participate in Umuganda for 3 hours to complete a difficult task to help the community.

Identify something in your community that needs to be fixed and then, organize members of your community to meet from 5pm - 9pm in your time zone on Saturday, July 28. Come together to improve one thing in your community: plant a garden, do a cleanup or improvement project, or find something that needs to be fixed and work together to fix it.

1016Every year, my gran can’t make up her mind about whether we should invade Roland Park Place with a GISH item. This year, she told us we shouldn’t do it because Roland Park Place is under remodel, so in the spirit of GISH, we’re doing it anyway! Show up on Wednesday or Thursday between 10AM-12PM or 1PM-3PM at Roland Park place disguised as a construction worker. Bring small, individually wrapped pre-packaged (not homemade!) treats for the residents (like miniature candy bars), flowers, magnifying reader glasses, or a sweet drawing from a child that has something written on it like “Roland Park Place, The Happiest Place on Earth”, (or ideally something more imaginative, but definitely upbeat.) Be cognizant of the construction & please don’t be intrusive. Also, because I’m not committed to pure nepotism, you can do this at any senior care facility if no one on your team can make it to Roland Park Place.

1023Last year, we snubbed Sweden in our location-based items, causing a gisher to write in to complain. We will not exclude Sweden this year! Apparently, spontaneous dancing is illegal in Sweden. Dance your heart out to Abba’s Dancing Queen in a public space in Sweden. If you run into trouble with the police, tell them, “it’s not spontaneous, it’s premeditated.”

1100There’s an old Roger Miller song that has the following lyrics: Ya can't roller skate in a buffalo herd, But you can be happy if you've a mind to, Ya can't take a shower in a parakeet cage, But you can be happy if you've a mind to, Well, ya can't go a-swimmin' in a baseball pool, But you can be happy if you've a mind to, Ya can't drive around with a tiger in your car, But you can be happy if you've a mind to, Ya can't go fishin' in a watermelon patch, But you can be happy if you've a mind to… Now you’ll notice that the song has the upbeat refrain: You can be happy, if you’ve a mind to, but I think the overarching message is quite negative. He’s telling people over and over what they CAN’T do, and nothing drives me crazier than that kind of pessimistic messaging. Let’s prove Roger Miller wrong and do one of the things his song tells us we can’t (be careful, please, especially with the buffalo and tigers.). Set your video to music. The music, of course, should be the corresponding section of the Roger Miller song we are discussing.

If your pledges are from US citizens, they must additionally pledge to register to vote or, if they are already registered, confirm their registration status in the next 10 days because many states are purging voters from the registration roles. If you are not registered to vote, encourage them to register as an absentee voter, because it’s easier and you don’t have to show up to the polls on election day. Your job in doing this item is to both collect the pledges and to pledge to remind your pledges to vote in the week prior to the next election in question. Submit your proof in the form of a collage of 100+ pictures of people holding up “I WILL VOTE!” signs along with their proof of registration (personal information redacted).
