I am Criccia from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and a GOF member since January 13, 2006 but it
seems I have been living here all my life.
I came here by invite and started to work in the committees I've joined. You will have time to
see
all my work in the Garden
but, at this moment, I have decided to create these dedication pages to GOF, specially for the
Recruit Committee.
Without Recruiting, we will never have new members. Everybody comes from an invitation,
depending on how many
people this committee has, more and more fantastic web sites will be added.
I've started at recruiting without knowing exactly what to do. Aussie Wendy, our GK
and my friend told me to try and see if I was able to do the work, if not, I could resign.
I started inviting 5 people a week, as assigned. One or two weeks more, I have received so
many feedback from people
I have recruited, some becoming members, some not, but all of them becoming my cyber
friends and always visiting my site.
With this new and unexpected result I started to invite 10 persons a week, 15 a week and in the
month of the July, Birthday bash of GOF,
I've invited 76 persons!! Yes, it was my gift to GOF and also to myself, I've increased my
friend's list in the strongest way.
Since then, I have been inviting 15 a week, sometimes, more, but this is my weekly media
and
GOF, my guest book and my site are very grateful.
I am always receiving new visits, who not only love my site about Rio de Janeiro, but also, click
on the button to help poor women to have free
mammography ( I am a breast cancer survivor since 1999 and I try to do my best for this
cause).
They also can check the news about the
Global Warming, as I am a Greenpeace cyber activist. And, of course, many want to become
member of
Garden of
Friendship...
I am really addicted for sending invitations; I have a special feeling in spreading the message...
If you have a time, become a member of
the Garden Of Friendship, join the Recruiting Committee, and give yourself a try: invite 5
people
in a week, it is more easy than
you can imagine and sooner you will be having new friends joining GOF and sharing life with
You.
Please, give
Recruiting a try!!
I was honored by the Garden of Friendship with
the "Appreciation Award", the most prestigious
award in the GOF!!!

I am very happy and grateful for this!!!!!!
Thank you all and if you want to see what they
have wrote about click here:
My site is still under construction, but I have decided to publish it
the way it is now
because I am seeing many new members coming
and I really want to invite them to give
Recruiting a try...
The other pages will be added as soon I have a little more time
But this first page is very important, and also important is the question:
How did you come
to GOF?
