You need to recruit in person.
I was utterly amazed at how many of my neighbours remained completely unaware of what was being proposed for the neighbourhood. And, they were also completely unaware of all my efforts to inform them – knocking on their doors, leaving flyers if no one answered, notices at the local mailboxes, big signs on the strategic corner lot, huge signs for the most important meeting. Nine months of work, diligent work, and so many were completely unaware.
Your neighbours will be so happy that someone – you – will lead the team. That you have a plan. That, if they join, this campaign won’t consume their life.
Get started. Go knock on some doors.
