Event description

PAY IT FORWARD! Let's try something new.

Once lunch is served, we will be choosing another table of guests who we do not know, to pay for their lunch. The waitress will give the lucky table an envelope with our business cards along with a note that reads: "We hope you enjoyed your lunch today, it is on us! All we ask in return is that you look at our business cards and if there is any service that you, your friends, co-workers, or family might be in need of. You will consider using us."

The event is free, however you will need to pay for your lunch as well as chip in a few dollars to pay for the other table's lunch.

    Maybe we get get C. to post it on craigslist. I'll put it on my site. I'd love to see if we can generate some buzz here, though. That's what this is all about, right?

    We had a fantastic time today. We had a guest come from Old Republic Title and escrow attend as well. We started off by giving everyone the opportunity to tell a little about what they do, and what they might need in the next 30 days or so. We then gave each one an idea to build their business. I think all of us came away with some great ideas, and even stronger relationships! We paid for a couple's lunch who came over to thank us personally. The restaurant was so pleased, they even gave us free desert! :)Thanks Everyone!

    The attendance was not as much as we hoped, but I think we still made an impact on each other's business as well as our lucky winners of the free lunch!
