There will be one area leader for each city. The people you see in the photos handing out bumper stickers on the highway median are street fundraisers. Area leaders recruit, train and manage street fundraisers. Obviously, to train people at this you'll need to be good at it yourself. The better you are at it, the easier it will be to train them.

You get people by putting an ad in a local paper. Your initial outlay will depend on how many stickers you want start out with, plus how long it takes for the right people to answer your ad, divided by how effective you are training them.

Invite a group to your place for 11 a.m. training. You want at least five people, and not more than nine per training session. People who have been at previous training sessions do not count in these numbers, if they want to come to another training session.

Talk to them for 45 minutes about what they'll be doing, and then go out with them. Some do, some watch. You want no more than three on a median, so use several medians at the same intersection. They can watch, then do, in 20 minute turns, or when they want to. Walk from one median to the others to fine-tune.

Lend people the stickers when they're training, but not once they've gotten started. Require the donations on this list.

One training session will be enough for most people, when done this way.

• Cover the best intersections.  You, the area distributor or group head want all the best intersections covered on all the best days. And the people who cover them will use you as a clearinghouse to find out who is where. Encourage them to do that.
• Regular meetings: Everyone brings in more donations when they feel themselves to be a global movement for cure. Have a meeting, or get-together, every few weeks, and possibly more frequently when you start, so people get to know and be supportive of each other. Do uplifting, fun activities at the meetings -- contact Greg for suggestions.
• Start them set up.  Start people out with completely set up kits, including body signs. When you are no longer lending them their materials, ask them to reimburse you for the kit, or provide their own.

Area leaders will learn fast in that results-oriented environment. We'll fill in the details as we talk with you.

It helps if they wear a shirt, or some other upper body garment that says CureDrive.

We have phone meetings on a free conference bridge for people who are doing this
