The CFLs are delivered to the school or group for volunteers to distribute. There is no advance purchase necessary which means that you only pay for what you need. Shipping and handling of the group order are included, the price of the bulbs is less than you'd pay in most stores, and the CFLs have a great warranty. Lighting is a necessary part of modern life, and CFLs provide it efficiently, effectively and with less damage to the environment. Once interested teachers or groups have been identified, give them their own copy of Bright Lights education packet.
Teachers can begin to educate their students.
Group Coordinators read and educate themselves and other volunteers. This is what volunteers need to prepare them to go out and explain the benefits of purchasing CFLs to friends and family and to take orders. Discuss your goals with your group and determine a specific goal for the fundraiser. Knowing how the money will be spent can motivate students as well as their potential buyers. Calculate your date deadline for this and make sure to coordinate with student breaks or other holiday events that could impact your timeline.
