'Project 7' still inspiring acts of kindness five years after plane accident claimed seven men

BLOOMINGTON — Joan Stralow and the others who lost their husbands in a plane accident in 2015 have remembered them on April 7 in a special way the last four years.

"Project 7" was formed in an effort to honor the men's legacy and encourage Twin City residents to be kind to each other by completing acts of kindness for others. The families asked everyone to remember their loved ones by doing seven random acts of kindness on April 7.

"It was our way of honoring the legacies of our seven guys and promoting acts of kindness," said Joan Stralow.
