What is the “Pickers Squadron’s” secret technique to get responses from their community?  Edi Birsan <edibirsan@astound.net> wrote:

This morning’s Concord Transcript in the CCTimes brought in three phone calls to my house with offers of fruit donations.

The key in listing the information on the Picker Squadron and I suspect now for ALL media outreach on projects and recruitment is to include a home phone number of someone who people can immediately call. People who READ newspapers are more likely to pick up a phone to talk to you than to sit down and write an email though I provide both in the ‘press releases’.
