Pay it Forward – Door Prizes For All
Our office is having their second annual retreat in Blackhawk at the Ameristar Casino and Hotel this October. I attended last year and it was a great time.
This year I am really excited about one of the speakers, Verl Workman, who is flying out from Utah for this event. I watched a video clip of him and he is sure to keep us alert and hanging on his every word.
We had an update meeting yesterday about the event and how things were progressing. The managing broker for our office mentioned that we still needed more door prizes.
No problem, after the meeting I went to my office and picked up the phone and started making some phone calls. I got a commitment from an insurance agent for a $50 gift card. Some IT company I know intimately, agreed to provide four $50 Best Buy gift cards. Then I went to lunch with Will to Lil Ricci’s New York Pizza. I asked for the owner and explained the situation to her. She said – no problem, I will be right back. She returned with FOUR $25.00 gift certificates for free food at her restaurant. So let’s see, $350 in door prizes in maybe an hour. I think they will be thrilled.
