Pay It Forward
Bobby Thompson and Jason Houtman from Allied Home Mortgage Capital Corporation
presented 2,000 “Pay It Forward” cards to the Broken Arrow Area Chamber membership at the December
Luncheon.
Sponsored through a Lead$ Group, Bobby felt that the Chamber should promote this
because he believes the chamber is the heart of Broken Arrow. The business size card suggests that the bearer of the card do something nice for
someone without being acknowledged. It could be paying for someone’s bill at a restaurant, paying for gas before someone comes into pay,
leaving a generous tip, even giving money to the clerk to go toward a grocery bill of the person behind you. You then leave the card and it
reminds the recipient to continue the generosity by paying it forward for someone else.
The cards were passed out to Chamber members and already they are being
circulated throughout Broken Arrow.
These cards are available at the Chamber office. Feel free to stop
by and pick up a stack.
