This is the Official Post for the Contest entries in the Active Rain Gifts of Appreciation Contest.... I will leave it on the e-PRO Dashboard, and it will also be in the Positive Attitudes for the Weary Soul Group. That way you can find it to read the entries...see who has acknowledged who and for what. This contest is a win-win, my favorite kind of interactions whether Real Estate related or not.
*** A true gift is one given without expectation of reward ***
The Gifts of Appreciation Contest is being held for 2 weeks....We hope to get several entries....as this is a way to "Give Back.....Pay it Foreword" to someone from the Active Rain community that you would like to publicly recognize.
The Blog Post that prompted this contest can be found here: Gifts of Appreciation . Several people have said that it is hard to pick just one, or 3 Gifts (people)..and we know it is. However that is what makes your Gift so special....
It is probably unexpected, and out of over 83,000 Members they were given a Public Acknowledgement for something.....
An unexpected Gift for:
- 1) An unsolicited act of kindness
- 2) Something they wrote on their Blog or Yours that touched you in a way you want to Publically acknowledge them
- 3) Maybe they helped you figure out some of the tech things here in the rain
- 4) Or show us how to take better pictures
- 5) Or just about anything
The Contest:
Very simple, Write a short entry on who you appreciate, or are thankful to, here on Active Rain. That's it. Your entry is judged by how well you express your written appreciation for someone else, and they win the Prize....:) Short and Simple.
