This forum exists to help you find others in your geographical region who want to collect signatures for This I Believe and display them to the public, and to help you get to know each other and work together as you see fit.
Please choose one person from your region, or sub-region, or sub-sub-region (etc.) as your delegate to take responsibility for getting to know and keeping in touch with a) other similar delegates from the other sub-regions of your shared one-step-larger region, b) delegates from the sub-regions of your region if you have formed them yet (three to six sub-regions is ideal) and c) the person in the one-step-larger region responsible for keeping in touch with your sub-region. Also, chose one or two additional people to serve as assistant delegates.
You may want to have periodic telephone conference calls for people in the same region or sub-region. One way to do this for free is to use the service provided at www.freeconference.com.
The goal of this self-organization is to enable a large number of people who don't know each other very well or at all to work together with some of the advantages that small groups have in which people know and trust each other. We want everybody to know somebody else engaged in this effort pretty well, so nobody feels isolated and alone in the huge undertaking we are all part of.
Everybody, as an individual or as groups of people in whatever organizations you may choose to create, is hereby encouraged to do whatever you think helps advance the cause of collecting signatures for This I Believe and displaying them to the public. Use your imagination. Use trial and error. Share your experiences--both good and not so good--with others on this forum so that others can copy the best ideas. You do not need, nor should you request, permission from anybody to do anything; just do it. Only please do not claim to represent other individuals or organizations without their permission.
Original signature sheets mailed to PDR, PO Box 300860, Boston, MA will be tallied with the regional breakdown and grand total posted on pdrboston.org along with other measures of our growth that seem appropriate.
