Sample letter below from a PIF volunteer mentor holding her very first PIF event.   


Dear Friends,

Just recently, I became a Pass It Forward (PIF) Host (mentor).  PIF helped me create my own program called Evelyn’s Acts of Kindness Program which you can now access on my  free web page www.aunitedworld.org/evelyn.asp.  

The beauty of this type of volunteer work is that it has many benefits. First, I am volunteering my time and doing exactly what I want to be doing, when I want to be doing it. Two, I am receiving immediate gratification from my friends which really makes me feel good. Three, I now have my own personal mentor that is always there to help me accomplish my goals and get what I want. Furthermore, my mentor helps connect me to other like minded people that also want to make a difference under their own terms and conditions.  

You can read about how I became a PIF Host (mentor) by going to www.loveitforward.com.   

At Your Event....
Guest Sign in
Make sure everyone signs in. Wait a few minutes to let everyone arrive before starting.
Welcome from Host
Introduce yourself and share your story.  What inspired you to get involved in the Pass it Forward Movement? Tell why you have decided to host this Pass it Forward Club?  Talk about helping another like minded person get what they wanted.  What were the results?
Group Introductions
Have everyone introduce themselves and share their story about what inspired them to get involved.  Get to know each other – Althought you may be doing completely differenct tasks, you may be spending important time collaborating on how to help make the world a better place. 
People Helping People
Ask all your attendees to participate in the 100 Ways To Pass it Forward.  Settle on a time and place to meet before you set up the Pass It Forward Club.  
In Closing
Thank guests for coming and ask them if they would like you to help them (as their volunteer mentor) find their purpose, passion and put it into action.  This exercise will be carried out one-on-one with your guest at another time that is convenient for both people.  In the meantime, the guest may want to answer a few questions and send the host their mission statement.   
Congratulations!
It’s people like you who make the Pass It Forward Movement for CHANGE possible.  Tell your story  to Good Morning America.
