Improved Unexpected 20 Web Site Is Live

One of our first Big Table experiements to attempt to give 'without strings attached' is called Unexpected 20. The idea is simply to pass along a twenty dollar bill in a small envelope to someone in a restaurant (in addition to a great tip) or someone in a hotel. Be as creative as you want in getting the envelope to someone you think might need encouragement or a boost. Printed on the front of the envelope is this:

And on the back is stamped the address of the Unexpected 20 web site and these two lines:
Find Out More
Give One Of Your Own
It truly is an experiment in trying to give without strings attached and see what will happen. On the website people have the option of letting us know that they gave an Unexpected 20 or received one. There are also simply instructions on how to make your own envelopes or contact us if you want use to send you a few already stamped and ready for some of the most wonderful twenty dollar bills you will ever pass along.
Check out the website and then let us know what you think by leaving a comment here on the Big Table site.
Or better yet, give a few away and then let us know about the experience and any other ideas you have for truly giving without any strings attached.
