You're It. Pass It On.
It's a game of pay-it-forward:
anonymously make someone smile with an act of kindness, leave behind a card asking them to keep the ripple going. It's easy and fun.

Latest Newsletter (Mar 7, 2010)
 "Yesterday, I popped out of the office to go to Starbucks. I offered to bring back everyone's coffee. One of my co-workers was very sweet and said they would pay for my coffee. So, I thought, what a GREAT opportunity to pay-it-forward! I entered the drive-thru and placed our order. When I reached the window to pay, I told the young lady I needed her help with something aside from our order. I gave her $4.00 and a Smile Card. I told her I wanted to anonymously buy someone's coffee today. I asked her to choose whoever she wanted to gift the free coffee to. When she did, I asked her to pass them the Smile Card and explain that they have just experienced a random act of kindness. Ask them to pay-it-forward by doing something kind for someone else. The young lady thought it was very sweet and agreed to help me with my kindness mission. I was smiling all the way back to work just knowing that I made someone's day with a free treat!" -- iferlamb
