This is a NEW program that we are so excited to be starting at Circle of Light. Beginning February 2009, each month someone will be selected randomly from our mailing list to receive a FREE treatment.
Many of you have seen or heard of the 'Pay It Forward' movie from a few years ago. It is these random acts of kindness and giving-and not just during the holidays-but yearlong that can make a difference in a day or even a life of an individual. We are never completely aware of our impact in another person's life. And we all have something we can offer one another. It is with this in mind that beginning February 1st I will be mailing out a FREE 30 minute session every month to someone chosen randomly (name out of a hat). If you are chosen we simply ask that you Pay It Forward by doing a kind deed for someone in your life. My intention is to spread some more love into the world and thought this would be a good way to start. **If you wish to participate in this we do need your mailing address~please e-mail it to us.** You can also update your information on the scheduling website, when you make an appointment, or you can update it by subscribing to our newsletter and adding it there, or by using the 'Update Your Address' link below. Please let us know once you have done so, so you are not left out. We promise to never give your address to anyone or misuse it in any way. The only thing you will receive via mail from us is this gift and a yearly Christmas card. : ) (If you do not receive a Christmas message from us this year, our apologies, we do not have your address)
Update Your Address
I won the treatment. Now what do I do?
Once you receive your letter,call or e-mail us to book your session. If the treatment is not your thing you can pass it along, by giving it to someone else with the Giving Game card (please before doing this use the code from the card to register where it has been on the Giving game Website).
After you receive your treatment all we ask is that you simply 'Pay It Forward' by doing a kind deed for someone else.
Why do you need my address for me to participate?
We need your mailing address to send you your certificate for a free treatment and along with it you receive a playing card that has a unique code on it, that you will then pass onto the person you 'Pay It Forward' to. The code on the card alows it to be trackable when it is registered on the giging game website. This way we can all see how far and wide the impact of simply giving to another can travel.
What does 'Pay It Forward mean?
It just means doing something nice for someone else out of the blue..it does not have to be time consuming or expensive, but try to make it meaningful for the person receiving. Even children can participate. This game is for EVERYONE! It is about spreading some more Love and Joy into the world..two things that everyone can use more of. : )
This is why in order to participate that we need your mailing address. This is because with the certificate we send you a playing card that you then pass onto the person you 'Pay It forward' to.
How do I Play?
Every person that comes into contact with the giving card then passes it along with their kind deed, or gift as they 'Pay it Forward'. Each card has a tracking code so that once you receive the card you can go online to the website below www.givinggame.org and you can enter the number as well as a description of how the card came to be in your possession.
This sounds GREAT! How can I get more information to do this with my school group, church group, friends or family?
Simply click on the link below and you can set up your own Giving Game as an individual or organization. It's FREE and EASY.
I don't have a group, and I don't want to create one, but I want to participate by giving to people in my circle. Can I still participate by doing my own thing?
YES! You can sign up as an individual or you are very welcome to join our group! The more the merrier. We are listed under the groups as 'Circle of Light'. Once you register under our group you can then order cards or print cards out for free to participate and to track the wonderful impact this will have on community and beyond!
