<p>Gang, a personal note from me -- "Bring a Pal Home," our race for free tix to Dublin (or for personalized hand-blown Irish crystal) is very tight, with fellow member Laurie Giafardino at the top with three recruits.<br/><br/>Only two recruits separate our top eight entrants as of Thursday night, with a trip to Ireland for two in the balance and 37 days remaining to gather the troops, so to speak.<br/><br/>Please join the fray -- it's good-natured -- everybody wins, quite honestly, in the sense that as the community grows, we all gain -- with more content, more perspectives, more friends, more networking, more knowledge, more special value from outstanding Heritage Partners, more opportunities to gain free trips ... worldwide, all in support of Irish heritage 'wherever green is worn.'<br/><br/>If each of our current 800 members recruited just one other member today, not only would we have 796 members suddenly vault into third place, LOL, but we'd literally double our membership ranks. This will make a huge difference to our community, in terms of the impact we can have on preservation, education and promotion of the culture we all love so well.<br/><br/>And if each of these new members recruited just one new member, then ... Well, I think you all get the picture!<br/><br/>A good place to start your bid for the top prizes is by joining the BAPH Group at <a href="http://thenewwildgeese.com/group/bring-a-pal-home">http://thenewwildgeese.com/group/bring-a-pal-home</a>, and then recruit among those in your circle who share your passion for Irish heritage. We are here to provide the support, along with some tips to help. I'm excited!

<p>Every week, for the next six weeks of the Bring a Pal Home, we will be providing tips to help YOU bring your pals to The Wild Geese and maybe even to Ireland.</p>

<p>Every week, for the next six weeks of the Bring a Pal Home, we will be providing tips to help YOU bring your pals to The Wild Geese and maybe even to Ireland.</p>
<p>The first one is our most simple, and yet possibly the most overlooked. </p>
<p>Did you know that you can invite friends from a unique invite page, that even includes a link that you can use. The links and options on your Invite page are linked to your name and account, so when you invite pals through these options, your invitation will include your name, so your recipient will remember its from you! </p>
<p>Remember, that's how you get another point in the Bring a Pal Home campaign. Each time one of your pals joins The Wild Geese and tells us your name, you get a point!</p>
<p>How do you access your Invite page? Scroll over the link in the navigation bar that says "My Page." When you scroll over it, a link called "Invite" will drop down. Here's what it looks like:</p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/122480523?profile=original" target="_self"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/122480523?profile=original" width="427" class="align-center"/></a></p>
<p></p>
<p>Once you click on "Invite," you will see your Invite page! Here you will see a variety of options. You can send a mass invitation to your contacts in your Gmail or Yahoo email accounts. You can also invite your Facebook contacts. If you happen to have a spreadsheet of your contacts, you can upload or you can invite individuals through this email option, as seen below. </p>

I have no idea why that's happening and will try to fix it. I will update you when I have a fix. Until then, use this link: <a href="http://thenewwildgeese.com/page/join-the-wild-geese">http://thenewwildgeese.com/page/join-the-wild-geese</a> to tell your friends about TWG!</p>
<p>Edited to Add (9/23): Okay, Folks, looks like we got that link fixed! Whew! You can now use that link to invite your friends to The Wild Geese, and the message won't say anything about Gerry. </p>
<p>So I ask you yet again. How will you use that link? </p> Early Lead Tacticstag:thewildgeese.irish,2013-09-17:6442157:Topic:498382013-09-17T21:08:30.307ZTiffany Silverberghttps://thewildgeese.irish/profile/TiffanySilverberg
<p>Almost as soon as we launched the Bring a Pal Home campaign, we started getting entrants. Not surprising considering how easy it is! When your friend joins The Wild Geese, and tells us your name when signing up (don't worry, we ask, they won't forget), you get a point. At the end of the next six weeks, the member with the most points wins. </p>

<p>I noticed some great tactics for member recruitment. I'll be sharing a number of them over the next few weeks, but right now, I want to share one I saw yesterday that I didn't even think of.</p>
<p>When you are on the <a href="http://thenewwildgeese.com/group/bring-a-pal-home" target="_self">main page for Bring a Pal Home</a>, look just above the Leaderboard. You will see some share buttons! Use them to tell your friends about this unique benefits of being a member of The Wild Geese!</p>
