Can we get to 10,000 fans by midsummers day?

This week, we're asking for your help with our new Summer recruitment drive!
This campaign is about empowering ordinary people to take an active role in our economic recovery. As of this morning, ThinkIrish.ie has 2,450 fans. We’re thrilled to have everyone of you on board and we really hope that we’ve made the message behind the campaign just that little bit more interesting…hopefully you’ve enjoyed a bit of fun along the way too! To be really effective, this campaign needs scale. Scale lets us do so much more. It gives us access to more funding opportunities, allows us launch bigger and bolder campaign initiatives, forces people to take notice. Scale also helps us to spread the word faster to more people.
And that's an important thing.

We know when people hear about ThinkIrish.ie, they’re only too willing to come on board, to play their part in our economic recovery and to contribute to all of us becoming more informed about the really great businesses that are creating opportunities country-wide.
But here's the rub.
You’ve probably already noticed that we don’t have the budgets of other big campaigns. Stuff like Your Country Your Call, Love Irish Food and others. In fact, our biggest strength right now is the 2,450 supporters that make up this campaign. It simply doesn’t exist without each and every one of us. But we think we can get bigger, a lot bigger. And with your help we can get there really, really quickly.

We’re not looking for your money.
We’re not after your old clothes.
Or your discarded mobile phones.
We just want your endorsement.
We want you share ThinkIrish.ie with your friends!
Even just 5 of them.
And they in turn will tell 5 of their friends
Who will go on and tell another five
And that other 5 will tell another five and
Pretty soon, we’ll have this mad vibe of friends all telling each other about ThinkIrish.ie,
Oh and hopefully…10,000 fans. How cool would that be?

All of which makes us a heck of a lot stronger and gives the campaign a whole new momentum. It makes us more attractive for donors too! They see a campaign that is being pushed forward on people power alone. By people who want to make a difference. So 10,000 is a little target we’ve set for ourselves. For you, us, we. And we’d like to get there for the 21st. June this year.
You’re the reason - the only reason that can happen. If you recommend to your friends that they “Like” ThinkIrish.ie on Facebook. That’s probably exactly what they will do.
We’re asking everyone to suggest to a minimum of 5 friends but hopefully some of you will go even further. If you really want to get onto our Christmas list, you could suggest us to all your friends at once – and it won’t take you any longer - just follow the simple instructions at the end of this post.
So now it’s over to you! We really, really hope you will help us. Here's a link to our page to get you started
