Congratulations to our Pay It Forward Angels for December - 2,500 Bonus Points Each!

We had 35 members of our Pay It Forward accountability group that met the group's requirements for November and each received 2,500 bonus points for the month!

If your name does not appear and you feel that you have met your requirements for last month, it may be the case where you either did not have the words "Pay It Forward" in the title and tags, OR you did not post your 4 blogs to the December reporting post, which is here:

http://activerain.com/blogsview/2003011/pay-it-forward-december-reporting-post

Just for this month, we will try to work out any issues if there was any confusion about that, but next month you will need to post your blogs on the January reporting post, which is here:

http://activerain.com/blogsview/2055934/pay-it-forward-january-reporting-post

Send me an email at ralph@californiasunsetteam.com if you feel you should have been on the list, and I will work with Russell Ray to verify.  Please note:  this will be the last month we will do any adjustments for those of you who were unaware of the reporting post.

As a reminder once again, here are the rules:

1. You must post one blog post per week to the group. ONLY ONE per week. Each of the blog posts are due no later than that Sunday at 9PM Pacific Time. Do not concern yourself with which day of the month is the end of the month. Just meet your accountablity by posting your one blog by each Sunday at 9PM PT.

2. Your blog post must contain the words "Pay It Forward" in both the Title and Tags of the blog post.

3. Your blog post must report how you have done an act of kindness for someone, thing, or group. VERY IMPORTANT: since this is still a relatively new group, we have been a little "grey" in this approach and have allowed everyone to post about various acts performed by others, charitable organizations, etc. But now the rule is it must be an act of kindness that you have performed yourself, that actual week you are reporting it, not in the past.

4. And this is a new rule also: VERY IMPORTANT - Each month I will post a "reporting" blog. That is, it will be a blog where you will come back to several times that month to add the links to your blog posts for that month, or you can just post all of the links in your comment box at the end of the month. So you must have 1 COMMENT BOX ONLY that shows the links to your 4 (or however many for that calendar month) posts. The reason we are doing this is because our group is growing rapidly and in order to track the posts, we need to make this a requirement of the accountability for the bonus points each month. You see the first "reporting" blog immediately after this post.

If you have any questions about this, you can contact myself or Russell Ray for clarification.

It is truly amazing how this group has grown so quickly and I so enjoy reading the posts of all the wonderful acts of kindness.

A very special thanks to Russell Ray for doing the tabulation on this!

You know what is becoming interesting...in November we could use anything and there is always enough to choose from; in December there were so many opportunities because of the holidays...but January...now the rubber hits the road.  If it's Thursday and I haven't done something worthwhile, I make a point to make a difference!

Ralph and Russel,

My halo is glowing with delight to see my name on your list.  I did decide, however, that I just prefer to be anonymous; tried to overcome that but just cannot. So I'll make certain I do a qualifying PIF every week but not post about it and pass on the points.

No reflection on this great, great project - just one of my (many) quirks!

Ralph, this is such a worthwhile group that gets a bit of acknowledgement but does more on the out bound side. Congrats to all who participate regardless of whether or not they get points.

It's awesome to get ideas on how everyone shares with others. I can understand Irene's point of view and appreciate it, but I think that it's great to encourage others in sharing as we share how we give. I am quite positive that the folks that are 'intentionally' paying it forward are actually doing more behind the scenes than they could ever blog about. Thanks for putting the group together!

Hi Ralph, I do not see my name among this group and I wrote a "Pay it Forward" blog on the following dates...12/4/10, 12/12/10, 12/17/10, and 12/26/10.

How do I get credit?

Thank you!

Ralph,

You're the one that deserves extra points.  You've got to have a heart of gold to want to put together something like this and stay with it.. that's a lot of work on you and I understand that Russel is helping also.  The two of you are the Pay the Forward Angels.

I will have to pay attention to this wonderful group.  Sometimes I get sidetracked and miss something very important at Active Rain.  Thanks for the heads up!

Ralph, I agree with Judi. Thank you and Russel as well.  I think it really does make paying it forward top of mind, which is good for society!  Thanks for putting it together!
