Puerto Vallarta Residents: Pay it Forward
 William Michael - PVNN
| | Take $100 to $300 pesos this week and spend it on a non-essential item. Something fun from a beach vendor or something sweet from a local store. (PromoVision) | |
There is a wonderful story of $100 that made its way into a small village. A visitor gifted the first person, a waitress, with the money as a tip for good service. She took the money and paid her nanny that watched over the child of the waitress.
The nanny took her pay and gave it to her landlord who had been waiting a long while for the rent. The landlord sent the money to the city tax collector who had been banging at the door. The tax collector turned the money over to the mayor as his pay.
The mayor bestowed the money to the visitor as the first person to ever enter the village. The visitor left town with a smile on his face knowing that he had helped to make the citizens whole.
Now while this fanciful story does not take care of the world economic situation, it does illustrate an important and plausible idea. Pay it forward is the idea of taking a little cash to help with a big problem. Puerto Vallarta is steeped with pride and tradition Lets support this simple concept and experience for ourselves Pay it Forward.
Take $100 to $300 pesos this week and spend it on a non-essential item. Something fun from a beach vendor or something sweet from a local store. When 300,000 people pay it forward there will be $3,000,000 to $9,000,000 pesos moved through our community and we will be part of the solution rather than part of the problem.
Lets be part of our own bail-out. As Residents we have the power to affect a change within our local economy. We can sit and listen as others complain, or we can all work towards being part of the solution.
We love Puerto Vallarta, so lets show our love with this simple action!
