Pay It Forward Day

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!

"Gratitude" Flash Mob! - Eugene, OR

Hi Everyone, You are invited to participate in a "Gratitude" Flash Mob!

A flash mob is a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual action for a brief time, then quickly disperse. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashmob

Action: Participants will have umbrellas open while distributing blank "Thank You" cards to total strangers and asking them to give one to someone they don't really know who they appreciate (e.g. Post Office clerk, checker at the grocery store, waitperson).

When: 12:30pm - 12:45pm on Saturday, April 18

Where: Corner of 8th and Oak, in front of the Saturday Market info booth in Eugene

Preparation: Bring an umbrella to hold and one or more blank "thank you" cards (handmade or store bought--think Dollar Store) to give away to a stranger.
