Location	Everywhere
Created By	David Del Mundo
More Info	David's 2nd Annual Pay It Forward Day December 1st, 2010 ‘Tis the Season! A random act of kindness goes a long way so… PAY IT FORWARD!!! What can you do? ON DEC. 1st... • Pay for someone’s cup of coffee… • Buy someone some groceries… • Get the next person’s gas… • Help someone out… • Donate something… • Be creative!!! When you do something for someone there’s a good chance they’ll do something for someone else. If not, at least you’ve done a good deed for someone. So on December 1st share some kindness and spread some joy! It can be as little as a few dollars or as much as you want. No one needs to know! Join me, won’t you? (I'm trying to make this a national event so spread the word. Maybe one day it'll be a nationally recognized day!) I won't be offended if you don't decide to participate, but please... spread the word!
