To enroll in the program, drop off your completed registration form (found at the Information Center) and receive your free key tag at the following locations: Lauer’s (both locations), Angel’s, Big Vanilla (Pasadena), and Bella Napoli Restaurant. Every time you shop at any business that is listed on this web site www.pasadenabusinessassociation.com (open the shop local bag) a proof of purchase form will be filled out with your name and key tag number. Once a quarter a drawing will be done from the proof of purchase forms.
