    Are you an editor Keebs? I am. We can have a Folding Editors Club. With jackets and ties and everything.

    Gargoyle and I posted about it to our gaming clan. Many of our members fold for 93 but we got at least one more to sign up. I also spoke with my family about starting again and they'll be up and running by tonight. :thumbsup:

    I gave one of the fliers to a large rehabilitation company in the local area today - directly to the executive director. And then I said, "this is a charitable project that we support. It doesn't cost any money. When you get a chance, visit that site and check it out. If you need any help with it, call me".

    Cool deal guys. Good thinking outside the box. When I get some fliers printed up I'll be distributing them too. :thumbsup:

    The Department of Surgery at Fairview Hospital here in the Cleveland area is getting some business card sized invites tomorrow with a link to www.joinfolding.com

    The Squeeze tells me that they should be well-received. :cool:

    Yes an idea - the background on the card would add a tremendous impact on the joinfolding page. Also make the print maybe a bit larger and darker.. But remember I am an old man and my eyes aren't what they used to be. Jack

    I just emailed everybody in my contacts folder, not very many but with a link to http://www.short-media.com/forum/showthread.php?t=29803
    I could stick a poster up in the works canteen as well, that may grab a few.

    Saturday was a slow day at the hospital, so my GF only passed out about a dozen of the business cards.

    But she did get a firm commitment from four of her co-workers to join the team and the cause. :D

    Sweeeet!!

    I added a folding@home page to my links directory today. The traffic is pretty good due to posting the link at a few local music sites so hopefully we'll snag a few supporters from that.

    It was the first time I ever saw a cog on a computer that I didn't install it on. I was at a new client's office today and I saw the cog in the systray. :wtf:

    So I asked the employee who he folded for and he said he was a GOON :eek:

    I said "ah team 93 cares about each and every teammate. You should fold for us, we're way cooler!" and he switched just like that :p

    Talk to your friends. Find an excuse to reach out to long-lost relatives, then twist their arm a little.

    Most of all, share any ideas which you have found to be effective in gaining new recruits with the rest of The Team.
