Russell E. Whitaker ******************************************* Schedule of Alcor Membership Recruitment Meetings by Saul Kent Alcor membership recruitment meetings should be held every three months, immediately after business meetings, in Southern California, Northern California, New York, South Florida, England, and Australia. Each meeting will include a slide presentation on cryonics by a local member, at least one sign-up counselor, and the distribution of Alcor literature purchased by the local group. Food and refreshments will be served, either brought or paid for by local members. Membership prospects will be invited by mailings (bulk rate) to everyone in the area on Alcor's mailing list, the Life Extension Foundation's mailing list, and other mailing lists that may be provided by members (mailings outside the U.S. should be done locally); by advertisements paid for by local members; by appearances on local radio & TV shows on the part of local members; and by word-of-mouth by local members. By holding these meetings right after a business meeting (when such meetings are scheduled), there is a guarantee that there will be local members in attendance. Special efforts should be made to persuade as many local members as possible to attend these meetings and to invite their friends, acquaintances, and business associates. Individuals in the process of signing up for membership should be invited to these meetings so that they can receive direct, person-to-person help in completing the sign-up process from trained Alcor counselors. As these meetings proceed, we can expect to see individuals who were introduced to cryonics at an earlier recruitment meeting completing their sign-up at a later meeting. Here is a tentative schedule for Alcor membership recruitment meetings: Sunday, Jan. 5, 1991 - Southern California Sunday, Jan. 12, 1991 - Northern California Sunday, Mar. 16, 1991 - New York (meetings dates should be changed from Sat to Sun) *** Sunday, Mar. 23, 1991 - South Florida Sunday, Apr. 6, 1991 - Southern California Sunday, Apr. 13, 1991 - Northern California Sunday, May 4, 1991 - England Sunday, May 11, 1991- Australia Sunday, Jun. 15, 1991 - New York Sunday, June 22, 1991 - South Florida Sunday, July 6, 1991 - Southern California Sunday, July 13, 1991 - Northern California Sunday, Aug. 3, 1991 - England Sunday, Aug. 10, 1991 - Australia Sunday, Sep. 14, 1991 - New York Sunday, Sep. 21, 1991 - South Florida Sunday, Oct. 5, 1991 - Southern California Sunday, Oct. 12, 1991 - Northern California Sunday, Nov. 2, 1991 - England Sunday, Nov. 9, 1991 - Australia Sunday, Dec. 14, 1991 - New York Sunday, Dec. 14, 1991 - South Florida *** [ At the Sat. Nov. 17 meeting of the Alcor New York group (CSNY), we discussed Saul Kent's proposal to change the meeting dates to Sundays. (All other Alcor groups meet on Sundays.) Most of the members were satisfied with meeting the 3rd Saturday of the month and didn't want to confuse people by switching dates, so no changes in meeting schedule are planned. We did, however, raise money for a copy of Steve Bridge's slide presentation on cryonics and will be able to present that to the public in 1991. - KQB ] Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=250
